My take is -
Am I more likely to catch COVID or Flu this winter? No idea, but COVD is certainly seems a lot more transmissible so my bet is COVID.
Which of the 2 jabs is more effective? My guess is COVID as it is aimed at a particular strain and I believe they have to guess/estimate the predominant likely Flu strain to vaccinate against - so likely COVID will be more 'accurate'.
Which sounds nastier? They're both possibly really bad so who cares.
So if I had to choose it would be COVID over Flu - luckily I don't have to choose, so I will have both.

I don't think I have ever had flu in my life. Certainly nothing that had me in my bed for a week.
Will take any vaccine jab offered.

There will come a time when population immunity is sufficiently complex that only people with predispositions need the vaccine, as is the case for flu. But we aren’t there yet and as a doctor that understands clinical trials data and epidemiology better than many of those on Twitter that are ranting about it, e.g. Malhotra, I’ll be having the vax and I would recommend the same to all sensible people. You have probably seen much coverage of death rates with Covid, and mention of long Covid, but subclinical inflammatory organ damage, even with mild Covid, proves to be quite common and might become a huge problem.

I have had all the jabs offered or recommended (including the childhood ones) but not had anything the jabs are intended to prevent. I presume there is a correlation, so will continue.
