The "front-line" healthcare workers know the dirty little secret.

It's just the flu, bro.

And from my experience, I get the flu every year, and it lasts for about 5 weeks. What good the flu vaccine?

Its a choice. Nothing wrong with that. No one should be forced to take a vaccine that has zero long term studies done. Unless you're elderly or have 200 underlying organ conditions, you shouldn't take it anyway. The "Cure" will be worse than the cause chances are

Yeah, a flu that has killed 350K people in 10 months.



In any event, privatize everything and let the market decide which approach is best.

Right?

200,000+ deaths from the flu in the 2018-2019 (last pre-covid) season, and that is with a flu vaccine. Now the CDC has reverted to claiming there are only about 30,000 confirmed flu deaths in the recent past per year. They have always taken the known and confirmed by testing flu deaths, and multiplied by 6 to get the number of actual likely deaths in the US. 6 x 30,000 = 180,000. 2018-2019 was a record setter with over 200,000 deaths.

So is the flu like Covid? If you take into account that the flu vaccine reduces the number of flu deaths significantly, then yes, Covid with no vaccine is quite likely very similar to how many would die from the flu with no vaccine. Same people dying with both, too. That being mostly people in the 80 year old range. Sad but true.

I stopped reading when you lied and said there were 200K deaths from the flu in the 18-19 season.

Now I'm ignoring you.

Folks, I have a Google machiny thingy.
