With the "variants" popping up almost every month and all the side affects, I'm now thinking what's the point of a jab? It's become increasingly obvious that this virus mutates very quickly.

I'll probably still get a flu shot because I haven't had that virus since I started getting them some years back. Yes, I know it mutates also. However, they seem to guess correctly most years.

I'll probably still get a flu shot because I haven't had that virus since I started getting them some years back. Yes, I know it mutates also. However, they seem to guess correctly most years.

I asked my doctor about that Friday. He said we always test for Flu when someone is ill, but they aren't seeing any flu since this COVID pandemic started.

He tested my whole family for flu & Covid. No flu. 2 have COVID. My son was admitted to the hospital a couple hours ago for COVID-pneumonia.

My wife tested positive on the rapid test, but has either no symptoms or very mild ones.
