At risk groups have always been liable to suffer death due to the flu. Sadly, with the advent of Vaping there are younger victims now and because their respiratory system is compromised by the toxins in Vaping products.
People also die having received the flu vaccine. Many years ago a lot of people were reported. Unfortunately, they weren't aware that that particular flu vaccine was not a single strain vaccine. It was many vaccines in one. One for swine flu, one for avian flu, etc... If one's immune system is compromised in any way, by lifestyle, underpinning disease the patient is unaware of, and so forth, such a cocktail can have devastating effects. Because the body builds antibodies to address the properties in said vaccine.
This is why if the vaccine is effective one likely does not contract that strain of flu virus in future. Their antibodies are able to fight it off. However, one factor regarding virus need be considered I think.
A flu virus is able to mutate. That's what Covid-19 is. A mutation of the SARS virus. This is the Corona virus, (CV is a cap word for flu), Covid-19 is referred to also as SARS-CoV-2. It's called Covid-19 because the first outbreaks recorded occurred in 2019. The type L strain is the more aggressive strain of the SARS-CoV-2. This is said to be what cost so many lives in China.
The point being, if one gets a vaccine against this Covid-19 what comes next with regard to the mutations? Let's project. What if a nation makes a Covid-19 vaccine compulsory for all citizens? Doesn't the thought then naturally arise subsequent compulsory vaccinations will follow given the mutation characteristic of Sars-CoV-2?
The pandemic virus is slowly mutating. But is it getting more dangerous?
