The flu vaccine is notoriously kinda like shooting in the dark because it's hard to predict which strain will dominate the winter.
- mikeyouse 3y agoThe flu vaccine has upwards of a 30% reduction in all cause mortality in at-risk populations. It’s insanely effective even when the chosen variants aren’t ideal. People are so ridiculous, they’ll get a flu vaccine, contract a flu that makes them pretty sick and then decide that the vaccine didn’t work rather than realizing it did work and saved them from a much worse illness.
