He was complaining to me that he still got the flu even though he was vaccinated. So I had to explain to him that the flu vaccines, like the covid vaccines, don't prevent you from being infected, they prevent you from ending up in the hospital...or worse. He's in San Diego. I sent him that article. That shut him up!
