Notice how the right wing wallies and anti vaxxers are always on about how Covid vaccines are not a 'real' vaccine because they don't stop you getting Covid?
How come we never heard a peep out of em about Influenza vaccines - which work exactly the same - meaning, that you can still catch influenza - but, you get less severe symptoms
but, wait - I keep forgetting - it takes the righties several years to catch up with things
Flu vaccination has been shown in several studies to reduce severity of illness in people who get vaccinated but still get sick.
A 2021 studyexternal icon showed that among adults, flu vaccination was associated with a 26% lower risk of ICU admission and a 31% lower risk of death from flu compared to those who were unvaccinated.
A 2018 studyexternal icon showed that among adults hospitalized with flu, vaccinated patients were 59 percent less likely to be admitted to the ICU than those who had not been vaccinated. Among adults in the ICU with flu, vaccinated patients on average spent 4 fewer days in the hospital than those who were not vaccinated."
A 2018 study showed that from 2012 to 2015, flu vaccination among adults reduced the risk of being admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with flu by 82 percent.
