People who received the flu vaccine in the year before testing positive for COVID-19 may have a milder case of the virus. Those who received the vaccine are nearly 2 1/2 times less likely to be hospitalized with a severe form of COVID-19. According to UPI, vaccinated patients were more than three times less likely to be admitted to an ICU with COVID-19. Researchers stress however that the flu vaccine does not offer protection against COVID-19. Instead, they theorize that it may help prevent progression to severe disease from the virus by "priming" the immune system. The researchers plan to look at whether other types of vaccinations offer the same benefit.
After the debacle known as the first debate between Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, moderator Chris Wallace had some strong words for his own viewers. According to Business Insider, the 'Fox News Sunday' urged viewers on Friday to 'wear the damn mask' after President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. Business Insider reports Wallace said that at the debate, the first family took off their masks, going against the strict guidelines in place. He noted that as Trump is 74, Biden is 77, and he himself is 72, they were 'all in the most vulnerable group.' If I could say one thing to all of the people out there watching — forget the politics. This is a public safety health issue. Chris Wallace
