According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 80,000 Americans died of influenza and its complications during the 2017-18 season.
This is the highest death toll from the flu in at least 4 decades.
Could someone kindly prove to me how this yearly flu shot is effective with numbers like this?
I have asked kindly several times earlier in this thread for someone to prove that the flu vaccine is effective.
One would think, even though not everyone is getting it, the trend would be in the opposite direction, (declining numbers of people infected)
Just saying... I mean, once the vaccines came out for those other terrible diseases that I mentioned earlier, (polio, smallpox etc) the prevalence of such said diseases didn't have this same trend.
When the universal LLama derived flu shot comes out things might start changing, I hope.
* Edited to add: Besides intro to Chem there was also the grueling but fascinating Organic Chem 1 and 2, Biochemistry, Botany, Statistics, Zoology, Physics and of course the hands-on Lab courses that went with the book-work. P.S (no astronomy and I believe in aliens)
Fun and educational times.
