"It has been noticed" that here in the US having had the Flu shot ups your chances of contracting Covid.

That throwaway comment needs some substantiation before an intelligent person should believe it.   What is your source?   Who noticed it?   How could anybody have ever collected the data to even analyze and make that conclusion?   How in the world could getting a flu vaccine make anybody more susceptible to the Coronavirus?

Why are you spreading foolish gossip this way?

It was an article from a hospital doctor that quoted the correlation of a higher infection rate with people who had this years flu shot.

Also Italy this summer had a mandatory vaccination drive for all citizens as I quoted.

As a third issue of depressed immune function for a period of time after flu vaccination is a well known side effect. It may be better to take greater precautions if you have had a flu vaccination within 30 days.

As a forth issue, warnings have been given that those with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to serious adverse reactions to COVID.

As to it being “foolish gossip” obviously you have a strong bias. Do as you please, I was hoping for further information, not trying to insult your belief structure.

Good luck, hope it misses you and your household.
