I'm sure the healtcare industry would love to cut the ~500k hospitalizations per year by 40%, or even half that.... or sick days, etc. [Reply]

Um.. the numbers are pretty self explanatory. It's useless and in many cases detrimental.
People get shots and end up with other ailments due to the unknown chemicals in them. Anything from allergies to bad disorders.
It's either a placebo made of nothing. Or it's chemicals that are bad over a long period of time. If vaccines were worth a damn , you wouldn't need it every year. [Reply]
Work offered free flu shots, we just had to go over to another branch office to get them. Then that got canceled because of some covid theater, and it was deemed too dangerous to get a flu shot?
In any case, I haven't hit up the drive thru pharmacy for my complimentary injection yet. Doubt I will. No way to social distance that shit without a dart gun, and they won't administer that way. [Reply]

It actually reduces the likelihood of ICU admission by over 80 percent, hospitalization by 40 percent, and shortens duration of ICU admission by four days.
In comparison, that is substantially more effective than any current treatment for COVID, and it is completely covered by almost all forms of insurance. [Reply]

Who should I believe? The pharmacist on this message board or the troll? [Reply]

It isn't even about insurance anymore. Most places are flat out giving them away.
As you saw earlier in the thread, some Walgreens are offering a free shot AND a gift card, so they're PAYING YOU to get a flu shot. [Reply]

Lol no one here knows shit about virology.
They only teach you what govt wants you to believe.
True virology is not known. They want people to be clueless and helpless.
Never had a flu shot. Get never caught crap. And I worked in malls during Christmas for a decade. Which means contact logic is bullshit [Reply]
