Totally not a medical fact, but all of my family have been really, really unwell with very bad colds thru to flu this Christmas,

3 very fit, healthy adult children and partners, healthy husband. No flu jabs (will rectify this from now on).

Very poorly in the run up to Christmas, we’ve come away to a holiday cottage and I’m pretty much Florence Nightgale to everyone.

i feel fine. I’m either bionic, or will be floored by the weekend. the only thing I can think of is 1 year plus on Mounjaro, which is not a medical consideration in terms of immunity,

anyone else on the WLIs escaping the worst of this horrible virus, or am in indeed bionic?

I’m glad many of us have not caught it!

I’m not on Mounjaro and also didn’t have flu this Christmas.

Same. But I do drink blackcurrant squash, and my husband who doesn't has had a bad cold 🤷

Don’t be silly… I’ve had many a year where I haven’t caught a respiratory infection when everyone else around me have dropped like flies and have never been on WLI.

Correlation is not causation.
