Guys, let me make it very clear
The average adult gets flu once every 5 years
Before Omicron, covid was estimated to infect every 16 months
Covid dysregulates far more than flu, it infects T cells and depletes dendritic cells

EXCITING—The Novavax protein-based #COVID vaccine has been authorized as a booster for adults ages 18 and older. People who got Pfizer, Moderna or J&J can now also receive #Novavax as a #booster! Also has benefit against #BA5. Cuts another anti-vax excuse.

Is the pandemic over?
⚠️Hell no—Not even close.
🔹 Excess mortality still exceeds THIRD global cause of death!
🔹#LongCOVID itself is a pandemic crisis
🔹Evolution of new virus variants not done yet
🔹Transmission still very high
