No, that's not really correct....

The "experts" recommend the flu vaccine especially during the time of 'Rona for 2 reasons...

1) To keep you from contracting both at the same time, which would be a disaster...

2) To keep flu numbers down as low as possible, so as to not overtax the medical system in general (ICU space, testing capabilities for both flu and covid, whatever).
