Excellent thread on why saying “updating the Covid booster annually is just like the updated flu vaccine” is nonsense.
An annual COVID19 mRNA not is *NOT AT ALL LIKE* an annual flu shot, a small list of differences

1. It is far more reactogenic
More people take a day off work/ way more AEs than flu
2. Flu vax tries to predict FUTURE North America strains, BA4/5 are PAST strains...

If you say “masks do not work” you’re about as smart as the folks who say “we should still be masking.” Nuance. Masks DO work to REDUCE the risk of contracting any airborne pathogen. But they aren’t magic, 100%, nor did they make a significant difference at the population level…
