You extrapolate your own experience as applying to a population that varies too much by age, immune system and pre-existing conditions for your experience to be valid for EVERYBODY.
Take that kind of illogic, junk science and critical thinking impairment and shove all of it up YOUR ass
Yeah, a plant diet is a big secret. Why then do we see those incessant fruits and veggies supplement TV ads? Almost as laughable as the morbidly obese woman dancing and singing about the 'little blue pill with the big story to tell'.
'With diet and exercise' flashes on the screen, a point that she missed, a point that apparently eludes her and several of the other dancers.
You mfr's and your lame-ass conspiracy theories are a f'ing joke. Unvaxxed Trumpers died in great numbers in '22 and a steep learning curve will insure that history repeats.
Congrats on a short bout with the flu.
Meanwhile outside your bubble of willful ignorance and sweeping generalizations, but not very far away from you....

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's that time of year again. The sneezing, sniffling, coughing, and seemingly endless illness season is upon us.
Doctors say they're seeing a major uptick in emergency room visits and hospitalizations due to respiratory illnesses like the flu, COVID-19, and RSV.
Right now, 11 states and New York City are seeing high or very high levels, which doctors say we don't typically see until later in the season.
"Family gatherings at Thanksgiving very definitely had a role," said Dr. David Manoff, the chief pulmonologist at Temple University Hospital.
Manoff says RSV starts out like a cold but can become more severe, especially for children, older adults, and people with compromised immune systems.
Understand? Capiche? Comprende?
"The people who should go to the emergency department are the people who have a course of worsening shortness of breath, people who have high fevers," said Manoff.
While flu cases are rising in Pennsylvania, most counties are seeing between 50 to 1,200 cases.
Most counties in the state are seeing between 300 and 2,200 cases of RSV, with Philadelphia County seeing the highest level in the state.
"A lot of people sort of tend to think, 'Oh I have a cold. I'm going to go about my day, I'm going to sort of be out in public.' So it is easily spread and still very common," said Manoff.
According to the CDC, more than 1,100 people, including eight children, have died from the flu this season.
"It is concerning and I think it's everyone's responsibility to do their due diligence and protect themselves. Get their flu shots and things of that sort," said Hope Pleasant from Mount Airy.
COVID is still spreading, too. Hospitalizations are up from more than 17,000 per week to over 19,000.
"A few of my co-residents actually had it recently right after Thanksgiving break so it's definitely on the rise right now," said Andriy Leshkiv from Fairmount.
Doctors are urging people to get their vaccines, saying it's not too late for that flu shot, especially as we enter what is normally the height of flu season.
