True, but kind of misleading...if 10% fewer people were contracting and then transmitting it, that can significantly reduces the number of additional infections.

And apparently the infection is less severe to those who get the vaccine who don’t get fully immune to it from the vaccine.

I hope "less severe" doesn't mean that the victims don't bother staying home, but go into school or work to infect others.

Last year, I think had the flu that's going around this year. Soon after, I recall going into stores and hearing the exact same distinctive cough I had, from cashiers with red eyes and drippy noses.

Uh, no. That's not how it works. You need much higher percentages for there to be any actual benefit. Flu shots are mostly useful for the old and very young (who tend to have weakened immune systems. For healthy folk outside of extreme contamination zones (schools and hospitals), given the effectiveness of the typical flu shot, it's really a waste of time to get flu shots.
