I have a close colleague/moderately close friend who is an anti-vaxxer. We agreed years ago that the topic was off-limits because it only led to intractable arguments.
He emailed me today about a study into the efficacy of the flu jab last year in certain US cities. He summarised it 'so I wouldn't have to read it' by saying that essentially it had zero to negative effect. There are SO MANY REASONS why this could be the case, my money being on poor study design closely followed by the fact that the flu jab is a bit of a crapshoot anyway-they have to guess the strain long before its obvious. Anyway, I'll never know because I deleted the email and emptied my trash.
I'm really angry that he's done this. I'm also really angry that I previously haven't been able to convince him that the theory of vaccines is not a conspiracy.
Although TBF I never will. Like all of us (to some degree) he's inconsistent. When there was talk of measles in his kid's school he got the kid vaccinated quick-smart.
Gaaaah. Anyway, welcome to the pub, how was your day? Your turn to rant.

“Is vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?
Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.
Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?
People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.
Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.
Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?
Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.
It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”
