The definition of a vaccine is something that provides immunity against a disease: But then you go and say the flu jab isn't perfect.
But we still give it to certain groups (older/some health issues) Em, does that not defeat your own argument? :)
RE not vaccinating younger people: You are not mentioning long covid, which doesn't happen much at all with the flu (post viral immune system problems can happen). And that happens with all ages. Some people get it for years.
As for wanting to lose your job, I am hoping it won't come to that. I have to say I don't agree with mandatory vaccination for work (testing/masking yes...)
But what is it you want to see? Just...part vaccination? Or one jab for 90% of people and boosters only?
What is your ideal outcome? (me? getting tired of being unable to travel to mainland Europe where family is, Brexit doesn't help there... I'd be happy if the rules relax. But with only 83% of people with one jab/ lack of tests / people behaving as if there's no virus EVEN with free tests...I don't know)
What are you will to do? Are you ok with masks/lfts?

I think i've covered this quite a bit but...The definition of a vaccine is something that provides immunity against a disease. These don't do that! reduction in hospitalisation is fine and useful for the vulnerable but not necessarily the right choice long term for the young and healthy.
The flu jab is only offered to the old and vulnerable which reiterates my point. This is off the top of my head so might be wrong but I think the flu jab only offers protection for about 3 months and even then it is only about 30% effective.
