6. This is not saying that it's good for your immunity in general to get the flu

It's saying that if you *do* get the flu, or similar illness, having a fever may help you fight it off.

It's not evidence against getting a flu vaccine; it's possibly evidence against overdoing medicines to reduce your temperature when you are ill.
