Flu season may well be bad this year. H3N2 now accounts for the majority (72%) of subtyped flu infections in the U.S, and subclade K represents about half of those. This data was not available when the vaccines were developed so less protection than desired. And H3N2 tends to be a bad strain.

It’s outrageous that our elected officials would rather funnel our money overseas, to places like Argentina and Hungary, than invest in healthcare or help families put food on the table through SNAP.
How do they justify this?
