I just looked and Wikipedia’s flu vaccine page still has not been updated to hide how pitiful the flu vaccine is. Continuing evidence they are still laughing at the research skills of the general population.
As always we assume that whatever is on WP can be very unreliable and nearly always gussied up to support leftist dogma. And who knows when it will be changed to flush things into the memory hole if too much light is applied so I have also made an internet archive copy here.
But this is worth a gander since it’s hard to believe that the CDC would have let this page be taken over by anti-vaxxers…
Let’s take a look:
Key points:
Tom Jefferson from the Cochrane Collaboration calls the clinical evidence for the flu vaccines “rubbish”.
Even Michael Osterholm said that it’s all a “sales job”.
No effect on hospitalization was found in adults.
There was a modest decrease in symptoms and working days lost but without affecting transmission or flu related complications in adults.
Can provide moderate protection but it can be greatly reduced or absent in some seasons for adults. If you look at the effectiveness table it can be as low as 29% in the last 5 years and as low as 10% historically.
Evidence for an effect in the elderly is unclear — there is a lack of high quality evidence!
The elderly group — the ones most at risk from the flu — benefit the least from the flu vaccine!
The reasons cited for the steep decline in vaccine efficacy in the elderly include the decline of immune function with age and the frailty associated with advanced age.
A person in the 50-64 age group is 10x more likely to die of the flu than someone younger and someone over 65 is more than 10x more likely to die than those in the 50-64 group!
None of this has a feeling of deja vu at all now does it?
Especially based on what we are learning about the gathering C19 vaccine failure they keep struggling mightily to cover up?
Of course the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” propaganda is complete B.S.1 except insofar as escape variants generated by the vaccinated lead to more spread from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated. So yeah, let’s make everyone into a Marek’s disease factory to “solve” that?
The CDC is dangerously devious in manipulating data. More often than not you have to go to other countries like Israel or the UK to flush out what’s really happening.
