Govt. Study: Flu Shots Not Effective in Elderly–Potentially Deadly

Sharyl Attkisson:

An important and definitive “mainstream” government study done nearly a decade ago got little attention because the science came down on the wrong side. It found that after decades and billions of dollars spent promoting flu shots for the elderly, the mass vaccination program did not result in saving lives. In fact, the death rate among the elderly increased substantially.

The authors of the study admitted a bias going into the study. Here was the history as described to me: Public health experts long assumed flu shots were effective in the elderly. But, paradoxically, all the studies done failed to demonstrate a benefit. Instead of considering that they, the experts, could be wrong–instead of believing the scientific data–the public health experts assumed the studies were wrong. After all, flu shots have to work, right? more

  1. These same entities pretty nearly forced us to take experimental shots that were known to be ineffective at preventing acquisition or transmission of the disease they were developed to treat. I find it unbelievable that anyone would deal with such evil entities as anything less than a mortal enemy. What else are they?
    Most medical interventions carry risk, but there’s a reward that outweighs that risk. Not in the case of the COVID shots, and by inference, not in any shots for respiratory ailments. In fact, all injections are by inference and adjacency, highly suspect and to be avoided whenever reasonably possible.

    And yet, we’re still blabbering along about shots this and pills that, etc. etc. Normalcy bias anyone?

  2. I was getting a flu shot every year because my specialist insisted. I usually felt crappy afterwards. I made a comment to the gray haired pharmacist at Walgreens one time about it. He said at best even if they pick the correct strain that year the flu shots are about 30% effective. He was unsure if past vaccination of other stains offered any immunity or not.

    That guy left. I think he got fed up with everything.

    So, no Covid vax for me and no flu shot either. I’ll assume they’d MRNA it and I want none of that BS in my system, thank you very much.

  3. It is July 13, 2023 and my father is still dead. Dad starved to death in February because he was in a semi-responsive state as a result of sepsis. Dad’s sepsis came from a bedsore caused by inadequate care in a nursing home. Dad’s stay in the nursing home was for rehabilitation because he had lost the use of his legs early in 2022. Dad gradually lost the use of his legs after receiving a couple of doses of Pfizer’s experimental gene the-rapy “vaccine” in March of 2021.

    Dad’s death certificate claims that Dad died of his prostate cancer which was under control with Lupron.

    My Dad developed sciatica after his Moderna booster shot. He’s always had the stride of a much younger man. Now, he has balance issues and a permanent pain in his leg. And, got Covid anyway.

  5. So I have changed jobs. Left hospice and am now at a rehab hospital. My people typically have strokes, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries.

    I am taking care of more people with Guillain Barre Syndrome than Ibhave ever before. Granted, it’s a facility dedicated to the recovery of neurological insults so I’ve changed my demographic, but about 3 out of 4 of these people tell me it happened after they had a vaccination. The other 1 out of 4 say it happened after a virus.

    Collateral damage for Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, etc.

  6. In MJA’s link to Sharyl Attkisson, a request is made for a video CBS posted in 2006, but has since been deleted for some reason. Archive.org’s earliest capture of Sharyl’s work (capture dated, June 3, 2014,) contains a date of January 24, 2006:

    Sadly Sharyl’s video does not play. After digging a bit more, it seems that Sharyl was assigned the story almost a year after Carla K. Johnson published a print version of essentially the same story on February 14, 2005:
