The WHO has recommended dropping a component of many flu vaccines because the viruses it protects against appear to have been driven into extinction in the Covid pandemic.
Wouldn’t an honest title state that a certain flu variant now seems extinct? Why spread a title that makes it seem like the vaccines are unsafe?
Please downvote distortions like this.
What? Statnews.com isn’t a model news source with integrity? I’m shocked!
Vaccines scary
Because the media is only interested in click generation and very much not actual journalistic integrity
It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS
For anyone who just wants to know what component: they want to drop the influenza B/Yamagata variant of the flu virus since it appears to have gone extinct in the wild.
And it didn’t just go extinct by luck. It’s a good case study of how to control and/or eliminate a virus (e.g. COVID):
“The rapid and global implementation of social distancing measures, masking, and the profound early reduction in international travel resulted in a substantial reduction in flu transmission.”
