Influenza Vaccine is Perfect Example of MEDICAL QUACKERY at the FDA and the CDC
Is only Covid vaccine utterly ineffective? And the rest are good? Not at all!
The October CDC ACIP meeting is a true gold mine for vaccine skeptic writers. (that’s a hint for my fellow substackers.) That meeting discussed many vaccines besides the childhood Covid vaccine schedule and is full of gems and gold nuggets. Almost every presentation, when looked at critically, highlights failures of various vaccines (flu, Covid vaccine miscarriages and infant deaths, chikungunya, etc.)
Take, for example, the “influenza vaccine.” The presentation prepared by and for CDC, compiled by Jessie Chung et al., shows data on the performance of “the influenza vaccine” in the 2021-2022 season. The study uses a “test-negative design” and is not a randomized trial. (James Lyons-Weiler and Justin Hart discussed many times how CDC prefers this method to hide the underperformance of vaccines). But even that method could not hide the utter ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine.
It shows that influenza vaccine’s effectiveness at preventing hospitalization is statistically indistinguishable from zero and is even negative for older people. And older persons are the people who actually would benefit from “flu protection”!
The presentation further admits that previous seasons also showed that the flu vaccine was ineffective:
Flu Vaccine is Medical Quackery
Non-working, non-proven (flu vaccines are NEVER tested with randomized trials prior to rollouts) treatments are called medical quackery, and the quacks promoting such treatments should be called charlatans.
You would think that the CDC, upon hearing news of the utter ineffectiveness of flu vaccines, would withdraw them from circulation, right? Would you suppose that our authorities care about us, so they would never promote treatments with negative effectiveness?
Actually, promoting non-working flu vaccines is prioritized almost as highly as promoting harmful Covid vaccines!
Here’s Rochelle Walensky, who was down and out with “mild” Covid for three weeks after receiving her bivalent booster a month before her getting ill with the variant she was boosted for, but recovered eventually:
Have influenza vaccines reduced the incidence of the flu? This picture is a tweet from a confused doctor “Zachary Rubin,” who is totally serious about promoting flu vaccines, not even realizing the irony of how much worse we have become as people were injected with useless but immune-suppressive flu vaccines and Covid vaccines:
Here’s a great article based on the UK NHS data, analyzing 170 million health records. Found zero benefit for flu vaccines. (H/t our astute reader Tim Fallon).
My Own Bad Experience
My one-time experience with “the flu vaccine” about 9-10 years ago was terrible. First, I had influenza-like symptoms from the vaccine. Then a few weeks later, I had the worst flu of my life. I had no flu for years before the “flu vaccine” and had none after. Never again!
Have you had the flu vaccine even once? What was your experience?
I had the flu vax for the first (and last!) time in 2008. I decided to get the flu vax because my mom was going through chemo and I wanted to protect her. Later that day, while driving with three kids in the car my entire left side went numb. In the emergency room I was tested for stroke, (negative) then sent to a neurologist and tested for two years for MS (negative). At the end of numerous blood tests and MRI’s with contrast, all negative, my primary care doctor leaned in and whispered “if I was you I would never get another flu shot.”
i work at a hospital and so many “intelligent” people cannot figure out why I say I will never get a vaccine in my life again. Thanks for the ammo.
