Why would take the flu shot in February and March? December to February are peak times for flu.
The poster you were attempting to admonish didn't claim to get a flu shot in Feb/March. He said he gets it in late October so his level of protection would hopefully extend later into early spring.

None at all - when I got my initial series, I was slightly fatigued the next day but nothing that kept me from doing things. With this shot I didn’t even have that. Everyone reacts differently though so YMMV. Personally I didn’t want to get both shots at once. I’ll get my flu shot in October when I normally do.
I couldn't taste the cinnamon in my coffee one morning (I always put cinnamon in it). I could smell it, but couldn't taste it. I thought "uh oh - lost of taste, bet I have covid". I had these tests from the government sitting in my linen closet getting near expiration date that I hadn't used. I figured why not, and gave one a try. I assumed the positive was a false negative since I could actually taste the coffee - just no the cinnamon in it. That's why I tested the next day. But the next day I could totally taste the cinnamon in the coffee, so that was probably completely unrelated, just a weird one-off.
Five days later I tested for the third time because hey - free tests getting close to expiration. Negative, and all was well.
Anecdotes are not data. I posted a link where they actually studied the severity of reactogenic side effects. About 37% had them bad enough to miss work. That means most did not.
The reduction in upper respiratory infections happens to all children. Those who are in daycare get more due to the way young kids share germs. Then by the time they start school they get fewer. It has nothing to do with the flu vaccine, which only prevents flu.
