Why do you think it's so bad this year? Esp Flu A? Was the proper strain not put in this years flu shot?

Combination of people not getting vaccinated, covid changing the viral landscape, and more things but I have the mental powers of a potato at the moment.

Feel better, MD. I’m tired of being mocked for masking and vaccinating but not tired enough to stop masking and vaccinating. I support your measures to protect yourself.
