Because flu and corona are very similar viruses?

 

That doesn't matter how similar are different they are. The effect of the vaccine would be similar for both and that's to be expected.

Once again, we agree.

And you make your assumption that the efficacy will be similar based on what?

Just the nature of the beast. Viral vaccines train your immune system to know how to stop the virus from replicating in the body.  Doesn't mean the virus won't enter your body or that your immune system will stop enough of it for you to not get sick.  

 

When someone gets the flu vaccine and still gets the flu, it's already widely accepted.

Yet the first person to get covid after getting the covid vaccine, it'll be front page news in every newspaper.

Also, the Lewis quote in your signature has probably never had more meaning than it does now.  I copied it and texted it out to many friends this afternoon.

I agree a most appropriate quote.

I don't see any quote.

Some vaccines work better that others. It will be very interesting to see how the mRNA vaccines work out. It is very difficult to extrapolate efficacy of older vaccines to a new technology.

Click expand on the signature.  That should do it.  That has been there for a decade and a half minimum.

It’s at the very bottom of his signature after all of his cruises.

I don't see signatures when viewing this forum on my phone either.  I do see them when I am on my laptop.

Go into your settings and turn on signatures.

I checked. It is turned on. I just don't get them on my phone. I don't even see my own signature with my phone.

If your phone does landscape turn it horizontal and you should see signatures.

Maybe it depends on the browser too. On my iPhone I see the CS Lewis quote. I did have to select “expand signature”

I had to log in first and that allowed me to see "Expand signature" and click "Quote" to respond.  It is right there on the bottom of the page.  Otherwise, I couldn't see it if I wasn't logged in.  Love C. S. Lewis' writings.

So, we have our friend from the Canadian/American NW coast to thank for after 15 years people noticing my special message to this forum.  

 

It is all disappointing, to think I always assumed people understood my point of view all of these years.  Sigh....😇🤔

You inspired me... I'm now including one of my favorite quotes on signature line.

Hmmm... all I see is Dave email me.... and all of your cruises, apparently, I am computer challenged as my good doctor friend

Thanks to @Ourusualbeach for how to fix the settings.   

I was not familiar with the quote, so I "Googled" it.  Came up with a lot of options, but settled on one by John Robert Lewis:  "“Every generation leaves behind a legacy. What that legacy will be is determined by the people of that generation. What legacy do you want to leave behind?”  ― John Lewis, Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

Thank you for having guided me to such a well spoken man, even if it was not the one being referenced.
