New Flu vaccine

Unread post by Ray B »

It is great news coming from over the pond that a new vaccine has reached the final stages of development. It just need to pass for use in humans and should the give some protection against 20 known types of flu.
But let's not get to excited, because unfortunately the new vaccine offers little or no protection at all to protect the strongest of males from the dreaded Man Flu.
Don't worry, be happy

The only known treatment for Man Flu is Malt Whisky and even that takes several days of multiple doses.

Best not to take flu, colds or even covid too seriously, otherwise you end up totally depressed.
