    Tiewaz:
    The flu vaccine ensures you don't get the flu at the same time as COVID19, so this is a priority recommendation by the WHO.
    Do you know from your research whether pneumonia vaccine is also helpful?  Or is the type of pneumonia suffered in COVID cases different?

    Thx.

    I had the pneumonia vaccine last autumn and my doctor has told me that that vaccine has little effect against the pneumonia suffered with Covid 19

    Unfortunately dear Tie, the article presents several inaccuracies such as the side effects of Chloroquine or that noone under 10 years old has died. I appreciate your good will to help, nothing wrong with that, but i believe we should be very skeptical and cautious with anything that's been written to the net.

    Thank you for pointing that out. Unfortunately, there are those that believe what's on the internet is gospel. To wit, the couple that saw what they treat their koi fish with to prevent ich had Chloroquine in it. They self medicated and the husband died while the wife's in the ICU hanging by a thread.

    Don't become a statistic, be prudent and trust science to get us through this, not charlatans and carnival barkers.
