Do tell us, what vaccine has there been for the flu?



Remember, the flu has "shots" not a vaccine.

So, yea....lets see if you have any "common sense."
Seriously? Do you want to phone a friend or is that your final answer?

you're talking about a SC decision, right?

I agree they were stupid to not wear some type of mask. But does MI require the wearing of some face cover?

Or just the fact that Whitmer took it upon herself to completely eliminate people from leaving their homes except for the standard reasons. It doesn't APPEAR that it allows residents to be outside taking a walk, even if they're "social distancing".

IOW, what "lawless action" were they doing/promoting?

I don't wish this on anyone regardless of how stupid they are (I likely have it, and even as a mild case, it's scary - I'm a wind musician, and I'm suddenly physically unable to play at all anymore), but it saddens me that their decisions will put non-consenting people around them in essential places at risk.
so how did you get it? what are the symptoms? how many days in are you? How long have you been unable to play your instrument?

the 2019-2020 version of the vaccine is ~45% effective. Is that a reasonable figure for COVID, or what figure should we require in order to accept its annual existence?

Where's Trump today? The daily briefing handled by Pence, seems to be running like you'd think there were actual adults in charge.

Did he get sent to his room without his phone after his twitter tantrum?

But they still confer some immunity, reducing the severity of symptoms.

theoretically, someone has pointed out comprehension here.

clearly he does not say 2-3% of students will die.

what he does say is some study/analysis (Lancet I think?) said it would make a 2-3% difference in total deaths.

There are how many strains of the flu? They don't always predict which strains will be going around every year. That is why the flu shot is not always as effective as other years.

I'm not holding my breath that there will ever be a vaccine for CV-19 Have we ever developed a successful vaccine for any corona virus?
