Opinion: Burnaby Covidiots switching their paranoia to the flu shot. It's ridiculous
Fraser Health ramps up influenza campaign

Fraser Health has launched its annual influenza vaccine campaign to raise awareness about the importance of getting the influenza shot.

And yet, despite everything we’ve gone through with the COVID-19 pandemic, I see people on social media platforms still saying they don’t plan on getting the flu shot.

Wait, what?

“I’ve never gotten the flu so I don’t see the need to risk taking another vaccine,” one Burnaby acquaintance wrote on Facebook. “Like the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, we don’t know what’s in this.”

What risk? What’s experimental about the COVID-19 vaccine? It’s a rigorously tested, carefully developed vaccine that has saved billions of lives.

Influenza vaccines are safe, effective and recommended for everyone in B.C. six months of age and older, says Fraser Health.

Of course, health experts saying flu shots are safe doesn’t mean much to people who get their information from “alternative” sources.

It’s more of the tinfoil-hat-wearing mob thinking they’re smarter and possess more freedom than the rest of us, simply because they refuse to listen to health-care professionals and scientists.

“As we continue to see COVID-19 impact our communities and the health care system, it’s even more important to get immunized against influenza and COVID-19 and continue to apply other COVID-19 safety measures such as practicing physical distancing, wearing a mask, washing your hands often, and

staying home when sick,” says Fraser Health. “We know the majority of people have received their COVID-19 vaccine, but as respiratory viruses continue to circulate, we want to ensure that people also get the influenza vaccine to stay protected from influenza.”

As of this year, getting the influenza vaccine is free of charge for everyone in B.C. six months of age and older...

Since we no longer have that man on our govt machinery, I’m a bit more relaxed.
You mean the orange one? Lol. I didn’t like him when he was a D or a R (or a reality star). But even he took the vax…which I’m not debating if one should or shouldn’t. I have enough of that drama with my employees and my insurance company. Its the part about how the CDC is somehow profiting from this…lol. GTFO. The US federal govt isn’t that smart for starters and it doesn’t meet the sniff test from a P&L standpoint either.

For what it’s worth, I am a vax believer. Got my double this spring and my booster 3 days ago.

Red America is now dying from COVID-19 at a clearly higher rate than blue America

By the end of 2020, there was no discernible difference between the rate of people who died of COVID-19 from areas that voted for President Biden and those who voted for former President Donald Trump — but "then the vaccines arrived," and "they proved so powerful, and the partisan attitudes toward them so different, that a gap in COVID's death toll quickly emerged," David Leonhardt writes in Monday's New York Times. And now, "the gap in COVID's death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point."

Residents of heavily Trump counties were more than three times likelier to die from COVID in October than those in heavily Biden countries — 25 per 100,000 versus 7.8 per 100,000
Leonhardt reports. "Some conservative writers have tried to claim that the gap may stem from regional differences in weather or age, but those arguments fall apart under scrutiny." In fact, he argues, the "straightforward" explanation is that "the vaccines are remarkably effective at preventing severe COVID, and almost 40 percent of Republican adults remain unvaccinated, compared with about 10 percent of Democratic adults."

So while the pandemic has shifted regions, Leonhardt writes, "COVID deaths have been concentrated in counties outside of major metropolitan areas. Many of these are in red states, while others are in red parts of blue or purple states, like Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Virginia, and even California.""

"This situation is a tragedy, in which irrational fears about vaccine side effects have overwhelmed rational fears about a deadly virus," Leonhardt writes, but the good news is that the partisan gap very well may have peaked, thanks to promising new antiviral COVID-19 medications from Pfizer and Merck and greater natural immunity in hard-hit red America. There are caveats, like that natural immunity appears to be weaker than vaccinated immunity, and that so much about the pandemic is still mysterious. Read more at The New York Times.
