Singapore has temporarily halted the use of two influenza vaccines as a precaution after some people who received them in South Korea died, becoming among the first countries to publicly announce a halt of the vaccines’ usage.

South Korea reported that, as of Saturday, 48 people had died after getting flu shots, but said it would carry on with the state-run vaccination programme because it found no direct link between the deaths and the shots.

No deaths associated with influenza vaccination have been reported in Singapore to date, but the decision to halt the use of SKYCellflu Quadrivalent and VaxigripTetra was precautionary, the health ministry and the Health Sciences Authority (HAS) said in a statement on Sunday. More

For myself- Flu shot = I get a bad flu.
No thanks.
Your mileage may vary.

RFK Jr will have more ammunition to point to on his anti vaccine crusade. I bet he blames his wife’s suicide on a flu shot.

Well, maybe the yammering about South Korea being the gold standard of ChinaVirus tyranny can stop now.

I know it’s not what I’m hear to talk about but if everyone could just send me 5 dollars I can win my race.

British study, at Imperial College London, finds covid-19 antibodies ‘fall rapidly’ after infection. Especially among the elderly. Questioning herd immunity. Well, maybe. The study not yet peer-reviewed for accuracy.

“British study, at Imperial College London, finds covid-19 antibodies ‘fall rapidly’ after infection.”

It’s the T-cells that count for long term immunity, not simple initial antibodies. Do people know nothing about how the immune system works?

… health authorities have said a preliminary investigation into six deaths found no direct link to the vaccines, with no toxic substances uncovered.

Perhaps some of the substances they’re assuming are nontoxic aren’t.

The most deaths in South Korea linked to seasonal flu vaccinations was six in 2005, the Yonhap news agency said. Officials have said comparisons to previous years are tough, since more people are taking the vaccine this year.

GMAFB! If the math of figuring out deaths per 100,000 vaccine recipients is too hard for you, then you’re very, very stupid. As stupid as “Math is hard!” Barbie.
