Further down in the article it mentions that the spike in infections is partly due to a flu type that wasn't targeted by this year's vaccine.

    In best matched years, the efficacy is about 60%, this year, it will be about 40%.

    The problem is all the lessons of hygeine and masking from 2020-2022 are gone, mostly driven by teachers who refuse to mask but have ALL been out >1 week with flu at my kid's high school.

    Ontario is cold Florida. We approach public health with denial now.
