helmets, and I was curious as to what had convinced him of the efficacy
and safety of flu shots.

As I said, there is nationwide, ~ whole population data indicating flu
vaccines have high effectiveness in preventing infection and/or
hospitalization. There is no such nationwide data for bike helmets,
and indeed nationwide data shows no apparent benefit. And there are
serious weaknesses in many or most helmet promoting studies.

Could you provide a link to that data, and its analysis?

Look up cyclist fatality counts since, oh, 1980, the time during which
helmets became normalized and popular. There is no significant
reduction in fatalities. And I've given links to several articles
describing increases in cyclist concussions.
