Got my flu shot today. Some researchers I admire have thought for years that heart disease in general may be due to ongoing chronic infection, and/or damage caused by previous infections, from things like the flu. This research is bearing that out, heart attack risk reduced 45% in those at risk, if they have a flu shot. That's enormous. https://sph.med.unsw.edu.au/news/flu-jab-lowers-heart-attack-risk
