Not true. Common cold coronaviruses have already long mutated that current flu vaccines are already obsolete and useless against them.
(Bloomberg) -- Around 110,000 British workers are off sick with long Covid symptoms, costing them £1,100 ($1,320) in lost earnings at a time of an escalating cost of living crisis, new research shows.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimated that one in 10 sufferers in employment are forced to take leave on vastly reduced earnings. Statutory sick pay in the UK is just £99.35 a week.
The financial hit -- amounting to almost £1.5 billion a year in total -- is adding to the strain on households being caused by the fastest inflation in 40 years. Those who were less well off before the pandemic are more likely to have persistent coronavirus symptoms.
“The impact of long Covid has continued to grow over time, with almost 2 million now suffering from the condition,” said Tom Wernham, a research economist at the IFS and author of the report. “For a significant minority of long Covid sufferers, the condition has severe effects not only on their health but on their ability to do paid work.”
The analysis shows how the virus is continuing to inflict a toll on the economy a year after remaining restrictions were lifted. The most common long Covid symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of smell and muscle ache.
Someone needs to remind Bill on this by way of twitter.
Initially, the Wuhan lab theory is started by the Republicans. Biden administration picks up the Wuhan lab theory to undermine China but CNN was never a big part of spreading this conspiracy theory.
It probably is due to the fact that promoting the Wuhan lab theory is hurting China as much as it hurts Democrats as many conservatives tie big government sponsored lab as the culprit behind covid. Bill Gate, Anthony Fauci and Democrats were accused of conspired to develop and spread covid to undermine Trump administration and make huge profits selling vaccines.
I saw that the Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun also relayed this report.
Vicious political attacks as always.
There's a section on Weibo about the commenters' translation, but I won't share it for now. They still stick to the same argument they made two years ago, insisting that they want China to make reparations for the world.Some netizens insisted that the virus was made in the laboratory.
I am not surprised by the Japanese attitude. But the Chinese people have had enough of this practice of leaving their own problems (dereliction of duty in epidemic prevention) to others to bear the cost.
Considering that their situation is still serious, this view is still an attempt to transfer contradictions: the audience only cares about which country the virus originated.

They swing back and forth depending on political needs. Even Fauci has recently stated we must remain open to China lab leak theory. The guy is a fraud.
