Covid made us more insular I feel, people turned on each other and it was a hell of a "success" for governments around the world on how quickly they could get their citizens to obey them.
What are your thoughts on having the flu jab and Covid top ups WCV? Waste of time likely to cause any number of medical emergencies to those who take them or are they of use? I'm particularly thinking of those with underlying health issues, especially respiratory conditions.

You see although it's very well managed I do have asthma, a history of childhood pneumonia (double), adult bronchitis and then chickenpox in my mind to late 30s where the blisters spread to my lungs necessitating the use of penicillin.

As such getting inoculated always seemed the sensible thing to do. I've had the flu jab for years now with no side effects that I'm aware of and I've had every Covid jab available up until being told the advisory categories have changed meaning I don't need one this year.

Much obliged if you could help me out here as although I don't think I've had any side effects it seems my brain must have melted somewhere along the way and I'd have been better off forgetting the inoculations in favour of opening our windows even further than I already do.
