Is it about the answer? Or the question?

Just another ‘devil’s advocacy’
Why did New York try to force unwilling health care workers to get the H1N1 vaccine, when it’s already known that flu vaccines are not very effective? That’s a good question.
Health expert and editor of NaturalNews.com, Mike Adams, points out that there has never been a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on the efficacy of the flu shot (a fact that even most doctors don’t know). He recommends a tongue-in-cheek way to make a quick $100 bucks off of the confusion.
“If a doctor (or a friend) tries to push a flu vaccine on you, ask them this one simple question: ‘Do you think there have been any placebo-controlled studies that prove flu vaccines actually work?’ Your doctor will, of course, say, ‘Sure there are. There must be.’ You then answer, ‘I’ll bet you my flu shot against your hundred dollars that you can’t cite even one such study.’ After a few days of being scoffed at while they try to dig up a study that doesn’t exist, you’ll walk away $100 richer. Remember, the study has to be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on the efficacy of the flu shot. Such studies have never been done!”
But you don’t have to take Mike’s word for it. Here’s a quote taken directly from the flu vaccine FLULAVAL’s package insert (which you likely never see when getting the flu shot) for the 2009-2010 formula (pay special attention to the last line):
“FLULAVAL is an influenza virus vaccine indicated for active immunization of adults 18 years of age and older against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the vaccine. This indication is based on immune response elicited by FLULAVAL, and there have been no controlled trials demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL.”
