Estimated Effectiveness: Early estimates suggest that the flu vaccine may be 30% to 40% effective in adults and 70% to 75% effective in children at preventing severe illness that requires medical attention.
I've had excellent success with flu vaccines, and I'll continue to get them. The Fluzone high dose that we septuagenarians get works just fine.
Even if I do get this flu (subclade K), I'm betting that the H3N1 antigens in the vaccine will assist my immune system into attenuating the severity and duration of the disease, although I'd be surprised that it got bad enough to notice.
To each his/her own.
You’re unfairly using actual medical knowledge in that post. It will never fly around here. We demand conspiracy theory mixed with quackery.
