Where did you read this nonsense? The COVID vaccines are FAR more effective at preventing illness and death than the flu shot. The things we learned about mRNA vaccines made for COVID will be used to improve the flu shot and other vaccines in the future. There is quite literally no reasonable argument against the vaccines. They’re extremely safe and extremely effective.
Like annual flu shots, the covid shot are freaking amazing at keeping people alive and out of the hospital. Do the ensure that you won’t get sick? No. The point is to reduce severity and spread.
This simply isn’t true, they’re extremely effective at preventing serious illness and death. Variants came along that stressed them but the main purpose of those two things has stood firm.
The Covid vaccines were really very effective against the original strains they were developed against. They effectively reduced the chances of infection.
By the time we got to omicron- less so, though still good at preventing serious disease

I’m not making one.
I’m arguing the continued need for masks to inhibit spread and further development to protect the very old and very young who can’t benefit from them.

Plenty of vaccines do. More R&D is needed. Masking, particularly during new outbreaks is needed.

But underwhelming at preventing infection and spread, particularly for newer variants.
Which is why further R&D needs to continue. And people still need to mask up if they want to avoid contributing to contagion.
