    why does nobody proactively prevent catching the flu,

    I get a flu shot every year. It would also be nice if people would wear masks in public when they were sick, but, well, for some reason that triggers certain people.

    Since there are people still living life as normal having never gotten any covid shots, and what we know about nutrition and diet, isn’t it safer at the this point to never get a vaccine and devel ammunity?

    Developing immunity (is that what you mean?) is what vaccines do. You’re just doing it with either a dead virus, or a weakened virus. Taking that a step further, the MRNA vaccine technology doesn’t even use the complete virus, just a piece of protein that initiates an immune response and activates your anti-bodies. You don’t feel sick because you have the illness, you feel sick because your body has started responding to what it thinks is illness.

    Could be that people need to stop being manipulated into living in fear

    That would be very nice, please stop doing it.

    accept that risks are part of living

    They absolutely are a part of living. I still look both ways before I cross the street. I cook chicken before I eat it. I don’t smoke. I drive on the right side of the road, and don’t drive recklessly.

    Oh do you know of something to help a person never die, will never ever suffer death?

    I do not. But I do know of a general set of rules that will allow people to live longer, with a better quality of life. Part of that is preventing diseases like polio that have life-long consequences.
