Why even bother mentioning the US in the headline? They’re irrelevant.
So Americans are getting two jabs still instead of one?
Two scoops of horse paste.
Humanity will find the cure for cancer and conspiracy theorists will oppose it referencing the plot of Deus Ex
American approval of RaccoonPeen™ is imminent.
Ask your doctor if RaccoonPeen™ is right for you.
Please come to Canada. I hate getting needles. I do it, but this would make things so much easier than 2 shots
I am so glad they specified “not US”, I almost thought that by “Europe” they actually meant “US”
As an American I appreciate the friendly, and unfriendly, reminders that we not only dropped the ball, we walked away from it.
Anyone actually surprized by this? The US is currently heading backwards on so many fronts, they are basically a country-sized time machine heading back to the “better” times when gay people were just killed, women had no rights, and black people were slaves.
The US won’t even look at mRNA vaccines anymore.
I don’t need a flu or a COVID vaccine if I die of measles first!
Of course.
Goddamnit, Donald.
You get what you vote for
That is factually untrue in most respects.
Ours is not a representative democracy, if you look past a surface level analysis of American politics and read up on just how strong the correlation between public opinion and our governance actually is in reality.
Just saying that if the other party had won the stance on science and the leadership of the department of health and human services would have been minutely different.
Minutely is the correct word.
When we elect Democrats, the major difference is that the regressive movements progress more strongly at the state level, and the Dems we elected claim to be powerless to stop it. (Which we know is untrue because we’ve seen Donald wield near unilateral executive power.)
At the end of the day there is such little material difference between Democrats and Republicans that a growing segment of the population sees no use in missing a day’s pay to vote.
This is why I think it’s a tad incorrect to say “you get what you vote for”. Because we really don’t.
I used understatement. The current course it’s so blindingly stupid that a 2x4 could’ve done a better job at governance.
But if you want to see things otherwise feel free, it’s one of the few freedoms that won’t get disrespected by the twat in chief.
How do you know that FlashMobOfOne voted for trump?
Because they didn’t take five seconds and look at my profile.
He was very vocal against Harris during the elections
True.
Also predicted in September 2024 that she would fail and they’d blame the Greens. And I was right.
The US being behind civilised parts of the world?
I’m shocked… /s
Anyone know much about the efficacy of the flu part of it? Says it’s more effective than existing ones but is this the revolutionary flu shot that takes us out of the yearly flu vaccine rat race or not that far yet?
It works as well as existing flu shots, which rely of an educated guess on which flu strain will hit NA in the fall. This dual vaccine is just convenient.
Anyone know much about the efficacy of the flu part of it?
A full cohort study would have to be made to attest to that. But guessing from the efficacies of the corona vax, probably not a drastic difference.
is this the revolutionary flu shot that takes us out of the yearly flu vaccine rat race or not that far yet?
Not a chance. As the flu virus mutates every so often, new vaccines will have to be made to adapt to the current epidemiology. It is a circular race.
And there was much rejoicing.
