be dominant. If they guess right it will keep you from getting the flu. If they guess wrong it won't.

It is a vaccine but for a strain that you may or may not catch on a given year.

uh-oh - judge saying COVID 19 vaccines aren't vaccines - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:25:59
     Did you read the opinion or just the headline? (nm) - DC Jayhawk KU - 3/12 13:53:04

          It is designed to prevent infection by stimulating - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:48:14
               Vaccines, yes. That is why the COVID shot is NOT a vaccine. - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 12:55:57
                    so, the flu shot is not a vaccine?(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 3/12 13:47:46
                         The flu shot is a best guess each year of what strain will - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 14:30:39
                    The original COVID vaccine was over 90% effective in - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:02:54
                         Was it? Or did its roll out coincide with the weakening of - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:06:52
                              JFC.. when it mutated it was no longer the alpha strain(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:07:29
                                   So was the shot 90% effective or was the mutation - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:20:31
                                   and so the shot was never effective - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:14:29
                                        It is effective against every strain it is designed for.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:20:10
                                             oh, then you accept there are two types of influenza - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:32:14
          yes - vaccination should contribute to herd immunity - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:40:45
               After 80 years of flu vaccines, do we have 'herd immunity" - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:31:55
                    why would we? - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:34:37
                         The flu vaccine is a vaccine administered via a shot - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:40:56
                              so says the CDC - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:47:27
                                   It has been called a vaccine since the 1930's(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 14:13:24
                                        it sure has - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 14:23:38
                                             So you are only concerned about the COVID vaccine and - Spanky KU - 3/12 14:55:50
                                                  did I say that? no - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 15:16:12
                                                       So.. no immunity from current typhoid vaccine. - Spanky KU - 3/12 15:28:05
                                                            I say call it "the shot" and be honest to folks - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 15:54:17
                                                                 even though it is a tetanus vaccine delivered via a shot - Spanky KU - 3/12 16:38:12
               Herd immunity does not exist for COVID dummy.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:48:44
                    herd immunity can exist for any virus - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:50:04
                         No dummy. There is this thing called evolution.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:51:26
                              yes, that's Muller's ratchet - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:52:21
                                   Why is there not herd immunity for influenza?(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:52:47
                                        Is it a single virus? - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:55:09
                                             There are two viruses that cause infection in humans - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:01:29
                                                  no, there are two *types* of flu viruses - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:13:01
                                                       Dumfuk.. there are two influenza viruses A and B that - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 13:26:44
                                                            False - "A" and "B" are types - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 13:30:54
                                                       You would have an easier time teaching your cat quantum - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:23:55

                                                                 Do you really think evolution is taught in physics classes? - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/12 13:37:39
                                                                 probably a PE teacher that got thrown into a physics class - Seagull MU - 3/12 13:30:20

               no - FootballRefugee MU - 3/12 12:43:03
          It's not a vaccine though - AWOLTiger KC - 3/12 12:29:24
               I find it funny they actually had to change - BigDave MU - 3/12 12:42:36

                              Does the flu vaccine "produce immunity"?(nm) - Spanky KU - 3/12 13:10:49

                         Efficacy against the strain it was created for is very good. - TigerMatt STL - 3/12 12:46:27
