   Flu season worst in a decade

   So far, there have been at least 29 million illnesses and 370,000 hospitalizations related to the flu -- the most since the 2015-2016 season, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly flu report.

     @LostInCalifornia @ninapaley The flu shot has never worked, they tried it during the Great Influenza and it failed, but they leave that out the history books. Numerous studies show the flu vaccines increases your chances of getting the flu, but tards like you just declare without evidence, that it made it more magical. A vaccine that doesn't prevent a disease, puts selective pressures on the disease, and it's retarded to use it.

     @ninapaley Doesn't have a 100% guarantee that you don't get the flu, but helps you fight it off. Standard disclaimer on all flu shots.

     Fewer people got the vaccine this year, so more people got sick. Current number is more people died from flu than COVID.

     We have a quademic rn: seasonal flu, COVID, bird flu and norovirus circulating.
