Long before I began adding comorbidities to my health resume, I was suspicious of the flu shot. This was long before the left became the earned-media cheerleaders for big Pharma. The term “anti-vaxxer” did not yet exist as part of the public consciousness. There were also only a handful of childhood immunizations, and the food pyramid wasn’t quite as upside-down. But the flu shot was a thing, it just wasn’t my thing.
Part of my distress was based on personal experience. I rarely got sick, and if I did, it was a short-lived thing (except for the ten years when I smoked cigarettes). A few years after I quit, things got back to normal for me. Cold or flu symptoms were rare, and an actual illness was even less likely, but one thing proved true. If I got the flu shot, I always got the flu.
No shot, no flu.
My immune system knew what to do, and as I learned more about vaccines in general, it became clear that the thing they wanted you to get was literally a shot in the dark. A guess that missed the mark —every time, in my case, unless the goal was to make sure I got the flu.
During the dark years of the COVID tyranny, many of us got a front row seat to the “get your flu shot” propaganda writ large. Globally. Complete with the consequences on both sides and a newfound desire to know more about everything involved.
We are currently in the churn that followed, in which revelations about deceptions within the medical industrial complex are producing serious research about the entire “vaccine” endeavor. Even the sacred cows like Polio and smallpox are getting some scrutiny, but neither is as pedestrian as the annual flu shot.
Did you get your flu shot? Would you like a flu shot? Everyone is a pusher for pharma and their pointless injection, and new research from the Cleveland Clinic jibes with my own experience.The flu shot doesn’t protect you from the flu.
Among 53402 employees, 43920 (82.2%) were vaccinated by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1130 (2.12%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over time the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. …
Conclusions This study was unable to find a protective influence of influenza vaccination among working-aged adults during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season and found that influenza vaccination was associated with a higher risk of influenza when influenza activity was high.
The flu vaccine increased the risk of flu by 27%.
The science, therefore, demonstrated that not getting the flu shot reduces your chances by almost one-third. It nearly makes you want to print copies of the graph and leave them wherever there’s a “Get Your Free Flu Shot Today” sign.
People could still get them, but at least they’d know that the shot was more likely to give them the flu.
Nothing anti-vaxxer about that, by the way. If you want flu, knock yourself out. I’m not going to stop you. But the self-righteous crap isn’t going to work. The respected Cleveland Clinic did this review, not an anti-vaxxer among them.
