Mackay said the rising numbers of flu made it far more likely for people to be infected with both influenza A and SARS-CoV-2, leading to a co-infection“A lot of the literature played down the risk of flurona earlier in the pandemic but that was because there was so little flu around,” he said.
But they have not developed a flu shot for this years flu. all they are doing is sepping the stock from 2 years ago as there has not been any new flu since the start of covid in 2020. so what a scam.
