A comment on Pfizer board member suggests end to mask, vaccine mandates. Parent comment
We have some hypotheses that children are the flu reservoir and that if we required them to get an annual shot it would tamp down flu seasons.
The primary difference is that the flu vaccine is predictive and can miss. It's kind of hard to demand that people take something that may not work.
If we got something genuinely terrible like Spanish Flu, yes, everybody would be demanding that people get a flu shot.
