Gosh why aren't you denouncing the "protesters" Dazzler? Aren't they putting all of our lives at risk? Or is it only white people in the Ozarks in a swimming pool that trigger you?HHusky said:

How many deaths have there been in the US due to corona virus?HustlinOwl said:Difference is the standard flu gets a new vaccine every year so all of your numbers could essentially go to zero if everybody was vaccinated. There is nothing for this corona thing, yet. 1 in 50 chance you die, slightly worse than rolling snake eyes.
There's been more deaths due to typhus (RIP, CD) than the corona virus in the US.
AAAARRGH MEAN ORANGE MAN!!!!!!

You obviously have no idea how the flu vaccine works. They basically make an educated guess each year what the vaccine needed for a specific strain. The vaccine this year was horrible. So no, the vaccine doesn’t necessarily protect you. Why don’t think they tell you to get it annually, instead of a single dose?HustlinOwl said:Difference is the standard flu gets a new vaccine every year so all of your numbers could essentially go to zero if everybody was vaccinated.

Yep some years are better than others but the vaccine takes so long to produce and Influenza has such an unstable structure and morphs so frequently that it will always be a guessing game. They make their expectations for which variation of the virus is likely to hit something like 6 months ahead of flu season so they can begin to grow the vaccine inside of chicken eggs. They do a really good job of guessing but it's the definition of an inexact science.greenblood said:

This is really long but a fascinating read by one of our generations greatest writers. It's from 1997 so some aspects are outdated (they have isolated the Spanish Flu variation now, presumably because of the research he's documenting). But it will tell you a lot if you're interested in understanding the flu and our response to it. Also just the history of the 1918 outbreak.
