Vaccination & epidemic

The influenza virus is constantly mutating and so the effectiveness rate for the flu vaccines is set at 40%.

That isn't a good percentage to convince me it is helpful or worth the risk of putting toxins in my body yearly.

When it is stated that what people die from are complications of pneumonia then I wonder why not just give people the pneumonia vaccine instead?

You only need one every ten years and protects from 23 strains of pneumonia. The 23 strains that cause the vast majority of influenza deaths.
I just wonder why the medical community doesn't push the one vaccine that actually targets the culprits that will kill.

Maybe off topic a little but it's a curious fact.

A couple of weeks ago I found a mercury calculator from the National Vaccine Information Center. It's interesting.
