That would be amazing. A needle stick every year and significantly less (even mild) illnesses? Let's do it.

(I say this as someone who fortunately almost never gets sick. People who are often sick would relish this even more.)

I get sick every year for some reason, often gastro, and the bi-yearly AC switch off/on giving me a long cold because I grew up in a country without AC. A year out of two I have a bad flu, a year out of 5, a bad otitis so painful I can't eat for a while...

Well the ONLY year of my life (I'm 33) I wasn't sick was 2020-2021. I think... the mask helped a lot. I feel like I understand now all these people telling me getting so sick every year wasn't normal...

I didn’t get a cold for just over 14 months. It was glorious. Now that I’m vaccinated I’ve been out a bit more and have been dealing with a head cold all week. If there’s a shot to stop colds, sign me up.
