Yes, it literally is. The COVID variant updates to the vaccine's base are no different than what is done for a flu shot each year. It's not like a flu shot goes through FDA approval every year, because it is not somehow 'different' each time.

You realize the comparison is to the flu shot, and how the flu shot is updated every near - not a comparison to the flu sickness, right? I assume you have to just be TRYING to be difficult and dumb.

But pray tell me, what "version" of the vaccine did most people take?

This is the problem with so much political discourse these days. You're not trying to engage with the ideas here, you're trying to score hypocrisy points. You're bringing up a completely different time that different people were talking about a different comparison between covid and the flu, and using that in an attempt to discredit a perfectly reasonable comparison between covid and the flu.
