This year’s flu vaccine may not be particularly effective against the strain of the virus now widespread in the United States, experts said.
Don't need some expert to tell me that as I got the shot. Thanks for nothing.
It seems that every story I have read about at least the last 20 years, talks about how “last years flu vax wasn’t particularly effective against the flu strains that year.”
They have sucked very hard ‘guessing’ what flus we will have the next year. Very hard. Risk is higher than the perceived reward.
My date tonight cancelled claiming she had to fill in for someone else with the flu.
And two online dataing site scammers have since turned down meeting me tonight.
So yeah, it’s getting ugly out there.
It’s bad in southern maryland, the local walgreens has baskets and baskets of prescriptions laying on the floor because the racks are full. I’m talking a few hundred white bags in baskets that they can’t fit on the racks. Never seen a more messed up jacked up frazzled pharmacy... never
Wasn’t it a foregone conclusion that this year’s flu season was going to be a bear?
The cure: Rebel Yell Whiskey
The good news: You’ll survive the flu.
The bad news: You might look like Keith Richards after imbibing.
Flu shot sales are down .... time for the CDC and its propaganda army the Marxist State Media to start the scare tactics .... 700,000 people dead from flu this season, mostly babies .....
It turns ugly.
EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
I see the CDC shills for Pharma are at it again.
We need the picture of the Not this $*&^ again guy with the coffee cup.
Every year, 30,000 people die of the flu.
Real records are hard to find but I do recall one recent year, it closer to 300 people or something more statistically insignificant compared to all the fear mongering.
For the 57th year in a row, I will regret skipping my flu shot.
I’m sure they are hoping. I mean I’m sure that helps their job preservation. Job and Family Services they get rewarded for handing out more stuff not less. There aren’t any raises when they get people off the welfare rolls.
I have been coughing since October, is it the flu?
Same prediction for hurricane season every year.
“Increase our budget before it’s too late!”
There’s a chest thing going around my area. Starts with sore throat and fever, then moves into your chest as a hacking cough that lingers. I don’t know if it’s anything out of the ordinary or just that I’m extra aware because I happened to catch it this year.
I’m not sure I ever heard them tell us it was going to be a mild Flu season - every year seems to be the same warnings, the same ineffectiveness of the vaccine and on to the same next season.
Neither is a cold.
People expecting that they get the shot and be in perfect health are expecting something that is impossible.
