You have no idea how bad it is on the street, until you go onto the street and start asking questions. It has been this horrible for decades now. 'Muricans can be so bloody dumb...
This is just not correct. First of all, you cannot trust a damn thing out of China. They haven’t been forthcoming and continue to mislead. Influenza and COVID share a lot in common. Both are single stranded RNA Viruses. Both are infectious respiratory diseases which share many symptoms. The flu vaccine does not work effectively due to the Mutative nature of the virus. Until they can pack every seasonal into a vaccine there is no chance to effectively vaccinate against it. With Corona we may have a chance as it’s not Likely to be as mutative as influenza.
So then what is the problem? I had my flu vaccine just after Thanksgiving, and I got sick for the first time in years. It's gone now. Just a "common cold". Big deal. Did I have COVID, or something new and unknown beyond the scope of all medical science? Jeepers creepers!
I don’t know what you had. Could have been a cold. A flu. COVID. This year has been the worst virus I’ve had in my life. Nearly 2 months of coughing my brains out and mad amount of phlegm. I never get Flu shots as they are worthless. I’ll take my chances with whatever seasonal strain is out there and hope I’ve seen it before and have antibodies for it.
I've gotten a flu shot the last two years and felt a bit sick for about 10 days each time. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said it was coincidence and not related to the vaccination. I think that when my body encounter the dead virus in the vaccine I'm getting a sort of muted immune response. Whatever.
