Govt. study finds flu shots not effective in elderly, after all.

Newsflash: Flu shots dont work at all and, in fact, do the exact opposite.
The best way to stay healthy, coming from someone who hasn't had the flu since I stopped getting the shot in 2012, is simple:
The military forced the flu shot every year and, for 24 yrs of my service, ended up violently ill 5-10 days after the flu shot EVERY time. After retirement (Im 56 now) in 2012, I said no more to that shit and haven't been sick with the cold or flu since. Even my allergies have all but vanished. Most I've had is a 24hr stomach bug twice in 10 years now.
Think about this: why is the flu shot free when just for walking into a Doctors office costs you $50? Same reason they pushed the COVID (Flu) shot for free or under duress.
Great comment, MordenGeist. Plenty of additional supplements are also helpful especially if you're coming down with something -- NAC (cheap), lactoferrin (not cheap), mushroom extracts inc. beta glucans for immune function, and dozens of others -- but for everyday use, I like your list, and not just for preventing the flu. Those actions lower your chance of cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and almost every other disease or harmful condition as well.
Why is the flu shot free? Economics, actually. A few years back there was a study done at the public health level of the costs of flu, particularly including hospitalizations for the two major risk groups of children and the elderly. The net result of that study was that mass vaccination against influenza saved tens of thousands of lives, but more importantly prevented hundreds of thousands of trips to acute care centers.
Recall that flu is a virus. While it can be treated with antivirals like oseltamivir or baloxavir, it's not terribly common for mild-moderate cases. In fact, they don't routinely test for it unless a person is hospitalized and it would make a difference in their care. Typically, treatment is "go home, rest, eat some chicken soup, wash your hands and don't spread it." That's cheap. Tamiflu and Xofluza aren't cheap ($300-500/course), if they're used, but they're a hell of a lot cheaper than an ER visit or an inpatient hospital bed.
By preventing hospitalizations, the flu vaccines save the system a HUGE amount of money. More importantly to health insurers is that they save the health insurers huge amounts of money. So, a business case was made to major insurers that they would benefit financially from covering the flu shot at no cost. And that is why the flu shot is "free" (included in the premium) on any health plan in America.
LoL, ok.
So they are proven to not work for the elderly, but they’re being pushed on young adults and children? Make it make sense. Clearly the shots just don’t work, period.
They do work in training people on unfalsifiable anecdotes like, “it could have been worse!”
And they do work at making a ton of money for Pharma!
They do work in culling the elderly
My elderly parents swear by the flu shot and become quite agitated when the issue is brought up.
Thank you very much for posting this!!
It is really critical to note that this article was published in 2006 regarding a study published in 2005. (Link to Sorenson et al, 2005). This "news" is 17 years old.
Edit: Let's look at data that are a bit more recent. These are "official" from the CDC, but they're each cited to the original papers which did the work. (Link to CDC's flu vax efficacy page). Of note, the 2020-21 data are going to be messed up because 95% of flu cases that year just magically "disappeared." It was a miracle! Thank goodness for COVID for curing the flu! /s
I stopped getting flu shots years ago. I believe during Sorrentos occupation. Why, illness, I have never been so sick after getting a flu shot. Then coworker gave me a flyer telling me about the dangers of vaccines. I did not believe it, I was still under Mockingbird control and a full npc. But her insistence vaccinated me and I started to deprogram, it took a few more years but now I never watch TV. And I see the programed and marvel at MSMs ability to blind the normies. I was their, marching in lockstep not realizing I was a slave. So take the effort shake them just enough to wake them for a moment. It may not be immediate but you will get them thinking.
They have never worked.
Just imagine if all the flu shots were nothing more than saline, and the amount pharma has made off them every year!
Except pharma wouldnt miss the opportunity to inject you with heavy metals and more ways to make you sick so that they can make more money.
Dats true.

I am disgusted by this, but had suspected them all along. I'm glad I never got flu shots. The way they were being pushed was just plain creepy.
