Anecdotally.,, I’m on Mounjaro and have not got flu this Christmas…

[KnewYearKnewMe]

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?

Correlation is not causation.

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

I’m not on any weight loss injection, work in healthcare, and have not caught flu this season….

DH had flu for weeks. Ive not caught it and Im not on WLJs

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.

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

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

I was on MJ last Christmas and had the worst flu of my life was bed ridden for a week

@PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich blackcurrant squash is a known medical miracle!

Maybe your immune system is better that you have lost weight.
My DS has a cough/cold all winter, usually a flu, D&V, if it’s around he’ll catch it. I have only had flu once as an adult.

Im not on MJ. The rest of my family had flue. I didn’t 🤷‍♀️

Me too! I've been on MJ since May and not a hint of cold/flu, when everyone else seems to be dropping like flies!
Also, I every year I succumb to the dreaded cold/flu around Nov/Dec - not this year.

And it's the first year in about a decade that I'm the other side of Xmas and still slim. Magical stuff.

I’m not on it and haven’t caught it despite helping care for someone with properly diagnosed flu

I think that may be it, @EmeraldShamrock000 - I’m usually the first to succumb 🤞

not on WLI, work in a hospital, no flu

3 family members have had horrendous fevers, coughs and headaches. I have had a mild sniffle.

Anecdotally....I just didn't have time to be sick as I was dealing with everyone and everything else. 🙃🫠

Weirdly OP, WLIs did not exist until a few years ago and, historically, not 100% of the population got flu every year.

I have been on a low dose of mounjarno since Feb and I am the sickest I have been in years with this horrible flu which just won’t shift.

Are you eating more fruit and vegetables too? It’s a good sign.

That's - not how viruses work.

This isn't the first time i've heard this. Lot of people on MJ have reported a reduction in viral illness compared to usual.

Coincidence maybe. But there is a lot about GLP1'S we don't know.

It's how sarcasm works though

I've been on mounjaro for over a year and I had horrendous flu before Xmas AND I was vaccinated 😑

How was it sarcasm? You seemed to be implying that you were somehow better than them, or they were weaker.

I’m not on mounjaro and never have been and also haven’t had flu this season nor have I had even a cold this season 🤷🏼‍♀️
