After a while, you've gotta listen to the crowd on this one, right? Yeah, but I’m like the only one who doesn’t actually want to see it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a very bad case of it. I do not think that is what the vaccine is designed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flu has multiple strains, the vaccine doesn’t protect against all of them. It’s imperfect, but better than nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get one, and I didn't get it. Proved right here that vaccines are dumb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is it that vaccine designers cannot think out-of-the-box, define all known strains, extrapolate mutations and come up with something that really does work?

I mean, I’m happy you haven’t gotten sick, but I’m not going to argue established medical facts with a guy on the internet because he and his wife had differing experiences. Sample size is a thing. I wish you the best in staying healthy.

Didn’t we just cover the multiple strains of the flu? The “Coronavirus” isn’t new, just this strain. MERS and SARS were also Coronaviruses iirc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
