You said "like the flu". That means every year.
- herbst 5y agoI never got a flu shot, I was not aware that I was implying a time frame here. Point taken
- unstatedAnswers 5y agoI don’t think it’s fair to frame their intent that way. “Like” does not mean “exactly”. A period of time on the order of years is fine.
- anoncake 5y agoIt's how I understood it, and I don't think it's even ambiguous. If you say something is like the flu vaccine that implies you're referring to a property that vaccines in general don't have – you would just have said "vaccine" then. See Griece's maxim of quantity. Not lasting infinitely is such a common property. It's not what they intended, sure, but that the Covid vaccine has to be refreshed every year or so is what I understood and what they actually said.
