Does the latter part mean it won't be available to the broader public until October, since they will be focused on the elderly and such first?
What on earth are you talking about? Coronaviruses and influenza viruses are only related in that they're both viruses. You're essentially relating a zebra and a bumblebee because they both have stripes.
What? They’re clearly saying that Covid is as dangerous as the flu. They’re obviously wrong and also downplaying the importance of getting a flu shot, but they’re not talking about the genetic relationship of the two.
Well it’s just that, it’s willful. It’s a lot easier to say it’s just another flu than to worry about the reality of the situation.
Isn't the situation essentially equivalent to the flu at this point in time?
I'm choosing not to get any more boosters since my last one gave me severe side effects for 3 months, but would if absolutely necessary.
My roommates both have health difficulties that would put them at high risk if they contracted Covid. So the least I can do is make sure I am vaccinated and masked to reduce the risk of me contracting it and infecting them.
Because I'm not a terrible person that only thinks about myself.
Don't you get a straight A if one of your roommates dies?

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. It’s also categorically incorrect, and can be statistically proven as such.
Yes but you need flu shots so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.
