It all seems pretty binary to me. Either the vaccine prevents the flu for
a
high percentage of people or not.

I'm the one using wishy-washy words, while you write something like "Either
the vaccine prevents the flu FOR A HIGH PERCENTAGE [emphasis mine] of people
or not"? Yeah, right.

In any case, no one originally said anything about the vaccine working on a
"high percentage of people". That's your own straw man, and you should feel
free to knock it down if you like.

Jay's post said "you're pretty much [on your] own with this particular
strain", and that's simply not true. The vaccine IS helpful for some
percentage of people. That percentage is likely to be lower than compared
to previous years, but to say that the vaccine is useless is just plain
wrong. That's what Jay said, and since you're "with Jay", that's what you
said too. You're both wrong.

From what I have heard and based the
number of people getting sick it looks mostly like a _not_ situation.

First you say it's a binary question to you, then you say "it looks mostly
like a _not_ situation"?

Get your story straight. Is it a binary or isn't it? It's a simple yes or
no question. To help you out, here's a hint: when it's a binary question,
the situation won't be "mostly not". Either it IS or it ISN'T. There's no
"mostly on" or "mostly off" when you're talking about a binary question.

The rest of your rant about the medical industries fault in the current
situation is just absurd. I won't even bother to comment on it.
