It's usually because they fundamentally misunderstand the process.Covid jabs went from life saving and essential to not even being offered. No wonder people aren’t bothering with flu ones.
Both viruses mutate so it's hard to keep up with predicting what the strain is that will do the most damage. The vast majority of the vulnerable population have now been exposed to Covid either via vaccination or from actually having it so many fewer will actually become significantly ill.
The possibilities are:-
- You don't have the jab, you don't catch the virus
- You don't have the jab, you do catch the virus but aren't unduly affected although you do spread it around a bit
- You do have the jab, you don't catch the virus but you wouldn't have done anyway
- You do have the jab, you don't catch the virus because your jabbed immune system fights it off before you notice it.
- You do have the jab, you do catch the virus and because you had the jab you aren't as ill as you would have been.
Why bother with school children? Because they are super spreaders. They will share their viruses with all the other children, and then share them with granny, grandad, the elderly on the bus, and Uncle Tom Cobley and all. if we stop them having it, we stop them spreading it with their poor use of tissues etc.
