Wayne to your question, I'd like to see someone chime in with some expertise in this area. It doesn't make much sense to me either.
Well, yes, you can get the flu shot and still get the flu.

Does being unvaccinated give you better immunity?

No.

Like this, avoiding exposure to the flu is a valid response.

General incubation for the flu is 1-4 days.

People who get the flu tend to self isolate pretty much right away.

This thing has a 5-12 incubation time meaning an infected individual may be out in public spreading it for far more time.

If someone with the flu infects 10 others per day before they self isolate they’ve infected 10-40 vs someone with covid who would have infected 50-120 before they isolated.

It’s one of the reasons this thing can go off the charts faster than the average flu.
