This flu season may be awful — but a well-timed flu shot and strategic masking will help protect you

With flu season approaching in the US, murmurs of a potential "twindemic" brewing are once again starting to surface.

"This could very well be the year," Vanderbilt infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner told NPR's Up First on Friday, "we have a surge in COVID, and simultaneously an increase in influenza."

One big reason that infectious disease experts are especially worried this year is because Australia's 2022 flu season was pretty bad, and what happens during the Southern Hemisphere's winter flu surge often forshadows the US flu season well.

Strategic masking? That's a new one. 🙄

You know where they can put their Strategic mask

[Interesting Times]

What about tactical masking?

[mykroar]

I think that’s for Monkeypox.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Skip the shot.

Load up on D3. Blood level above 50.

Is this year’s shot an mRNA shot, or the traditional one?

[toddausauras]

“Protect me”. No thanks I’m a full grown man.

[beaversmom]

I wanna do guerrilla masking.

Sorry Dr. Fauchi, but you need your friends in China to give us a new ‘pandemic’.

[EvilCapitalist]

No more masks.

Vanderbilt.....LOLOL....the perv place???

No, thanks!

[Interesting Times]

Stealth masking here....

[caww]

I’m uncertain if i will get the flu shot or not this year. Got one two years ago when Covid was hot but I just don’t see that threat now, even if it’s out there this year as it was at the start.

> Strategic masking? That's a new one.

It's like strategic vs tactical nuke weapons -- tactical are the little ones, strategic are the big ones.

"Tactical masking" is when you put a mask over part of your face.

"Strategic masking" is when you get a mask for your entire body.

I’m gonna bet that LESS folks get the flu shot. Of course Seniors in hospitals are forced to get it. My mother in law got it for the first time...and a couple weeks later...she got the flu for the first time. I think it was the year it was about 25% effective.

I am calling B.S. This year will be just like every other.

Do your research.....someone posted that there are rumors they’re mixing the flu shot (which is such a farce, to begin with) with the mNRA china virus (and/or technology), this year.

Up your Vit D level!!
