Could it be possible that in the last 30 years you’ve had seasonal influenza and not recognized it, maybe a mild case? In my experience catching it a few times, there’s sick with the flu and siiiiiick with the flu.
But immunocompromised people and others most at risk can catch it regardless of how bad you feel - mass vaccination is for those people too, not just you.
- rubicon33 3y agoEveryone has days when they feel kinda crummy, off their game, etc. I've always wondered if it's a super low-grade infection like influenza. No way to know without testing all the time.
- valianteffort 3y agoSure but knowing that the efficacy of the flu shot has been less than 50% for most years of my life (in my region) it seemed like a coin toss not to get it but a 100% chance of feeling lousy if I did.
