There was another thread today that said people with the flu shot are more likely to catch Covid.

I’ve seen that, but there are quite a few articles attesting to the Flu Shot being beneficial with very compelling statistics of ICU rates, etc...

And while I have to do more research. I’ve heard even on FR of people being advised by doctors to get vaccinated against pneumonia as well as an add-on for *potential* protection against (severe) Covid.

And isn’t it funny that the regular flu has just affected a few hundred people over the past twelve months?

Instead of tens of thousands?

yes I saw that article. Those vaccinated 2018-2019 for the flu were around 38% more likely to get Covid-19

There is actually a window of time where that may be the case - more susceptible to infections in general as apparently they contain an immunosuppressant to allow the flu vaccine to actually get into the body vs. it being immediately intercepted and wiped out upon entry by the immune system and therefore be completely ineffective.
