Every healthy responsible person gets a flu shot every single fall, we already do this and no one complains about the long term flu plan.
You might be allowing the current discourse to knock your reasoning off track. Not trying to attack you, it's easy to get carried away with something so impactful to all of us.
The implication of your phrasing here is that people who do not get a flu shot every single fall are irresponsible - which seems pretty silly to claim given that seasonal influenza does not pose a significant risk to a majority of the population, especially healthy children and adults.
You're purposefully ignoring a piece of the "critical thinking" so that you can be anti-science.
I'm very disappointed in the anti science comments on HN as of late.
