Yeah the flu jab suffers from some (though not all) of the same problems as the COVID jabs. You can't provide immunity from infection for a respiratory disease by giving a systemic vaccine. A systemic vaccine (injected) will, assuming it works, create IgG antibodies, which reside in the systemic immune compartment. To become immune to a respiratory disease, you need mucosal compartment immunity, which utilizes IgA antibodies. There is literally no way that an injected vaccine can generate any form of immunity to a respiratory infection. It could actually harm natural immunity though, through the generation of IgG4 antibodies, which act to suppress the bodies immune response. This is particularly evident in repeated treatment within a short timeframe (regular boosters). Indeed, repeated antigen exposure is a treatment that is sometimes used to treat severe allergies (allergen immunotherapy).
It's a bit funny, a lot of the people at work are currently freaking out about the flu. So, they all rushed out and got their flu shots. Consequently, lots of them are now off work... with the flu. Management response was to remind people to get their flu shots, and that they could also consider a COVID booster. SMDH. Luckily, the boss is a reasonable guy and was fine even in the height of COVID when I told him there was no way I was getting the jab, mandated or not.
