The flu is not a harmless disease, get that into your head. We have been vaccinating against the flu for decades, and yet there are about 400,000 deaths per year during an average influenza season.
- croes 3y agoYou do realize I'm paraphrasing the vaccine blamers? Because for them Corona is harmless and the flu is harmless, even worse, to them Corona and flu are the same. Only the vaccines are dangerous. Fun fact, for some of these guys the flu shot isn't a vaccination because it's called a shot.
- Izkata 3y agoThe flu shot is called a shot because it isn't one vaccine, it's multiple at once. The low efficacy is, at least in part, because every spring they make an educated guess as to which ones would be best to put into the shot distributed in the fall. Not all of them can be put into the shot for cost and compatibility reasons.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThe flu shot is called a shot because... it's a shot. (See also: "jab".) One might get allergy shots (no vaccine at all). One might get a shot of morphine in an ambulance. Liquid injections have been known as shots since before we had vaccines.
