I think Tony Faucci among others might say otherwise: from a recently published article in the journal Cell host & Microbe, Tony was one of three authors on a paper titled:
Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses

Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses
"As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases.7 Even decades-long efforts to develop better, so-called “universal” influenza vaccines—vaccines that would create more broadly protective immunity, preferably lasting over longer time periods8,10—have not yet resulted in next-generation, broadly protective vaccines, although a large number of experimental vaccines are in preclinical or early clinical development."
here is the part that matters:
"the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases."
so the flu shot works great...so great that even the captured FDA would not likely license the product if it had a different therapeutic target.
do they John, its a proven fact?
