[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flu is bad this year, but this years misalignment of the shot has zero to do with the current administration. The makeup of the shot is established many months out, and some years they pick wrong or the dominant strain is a recent mutation. This is one of those years. It remains to be seen how the shenanigans over the meeting you referenced will affect next year’s flu shot, which is what it was designing. But for this year, it was just a bad alignment with the shot and which variant of the flu became dominant. The shot should still give you some protection against very severe illness, even if you feel like crap when you get sick.[/quote]

Of course it has something to do with the current administration, which denies the value of mrna technology. Continuing to rely on conventional vaccine technology is largely responsible for the current mismatch, since it is slow and done too far in advance. I can't wait until we have an administration that respects science rather than tin foil hat conspiracy thinking with little basis in reality.

This year’s shot still has nothing to do with this administration. If next year’s is a disaster then you have a point. I’m not trying to minimize the extreme medical malpractice that this administration is starting to do against American public health, but this bad flu season isn’t one of them. [/quote]
