#2Is there a strategy here, or is this all emotional. Or is the strategy like, we can reduce social security spending if more old people die of the flu?
This isn't entirely cynical, I do assume there are some pragmatists who might think this way.

There is no strategy here except to disempower the establishment.

#5Last I spoke to a nurse about this she explained something interesting to me - in selecting the next flu shot they actually watch the opposite hemisphere to predict most likely strain to vax.
So despite US shenanigans rest of world may still be OK

For people who get the flu? I thought that was just for mental health problems.

#9This is a remarkably stupid decision. Flu vaccines are incredibly successful not just from a public health standpoint but also a business productivity standpoint.
I guess we're going to relearn this lesson the hard way. Especially with businesses also demanding people come back to the office to work.

#10Presumably it may be rescheduled? Let's say personnel is in flux at the moment. Might make sense to bump out an important meeting until things stabilize?
There is so much breathless hysteria in the media predicting or implying a prediction, and when 99% of it fails to materialize there is never a follow up.
