    I was the most ill I’ve ever been with flu age 21. My lungs were like bricks . I was taken home from work and I didn’t know why as I wasn’t quite right in the head. Luckily my flat mate brought me drinks as I lay in bed for four days and I remember nothing of those four days. Took weeks to recover

    When I was 33 I was running 33 miles a week. I got sick on my birthday with the flu (1983.) I am now 70 and that flu was the worst sickness I have had in my life. When you said you got to the door and just laid on the floor I understand completely. I spent more time lying on the bathroom floor than in my bed. Shockingly after the worst of it I was extremely weak for several weeks. Walking a few hundred feet was exhausting. So, I have had a flu shot every year since which is 37 flu shots (not counting earlier shots in the military and a swine flu shot.)

    Currently researching reports that Fluzone High Dose Flu Shot (3 in 1) for Seniors (4 times as powerful compared to the regular flu shot) may put recipients at higher risk for a cytokine storm/immunity over-response should they contract COVID-19. Several papers on this, but none peer reviewed, so am considering at over age 70 getting the standard rather than High-Dose flu shot. In the meantime, concerned and holding off on flu shot---thoughts? I never hear this distinction discussed while governments are recommending charging ahead with flu shots, especially for the most at risk population? Trust is waning at this point, understandably!

      Yeah, my GP surgery has done everything to protect themselves and don't seem to give a poop about the patients.
      I'd gone to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy to find it hadn't been sent over. Went to the GP and they had no knowledge because they'd changed their email address without bothering to notify me (or anyone) and I didn't get a bounce back. The door is cordoned off and there is a little table in the porch with all the paper forms and a pot of pens. No hand sanitizer (but that would be pointless, it would get stolen in a heartbeat -even if were bolted to the wall) but I had my own and was super conscious of what I was touching. The idea of these little paper forms and shared pens and lifting the lid to open the post box to put the forms, not very 2020 (my workplace went paperless 5 years ago). Having to shout over to the receptionist from the door, not very confidential. A staff member squeezed past me on her way in and out and there were no signs outside advising people not to all cram into the porch bit or to queue distancedly outside.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor .

    Thanks for the video. I had been sharing with others the initial study you presented with school children who became more vulnerable to covid19 if they were vaccinated for the flu. This current study does not refute or acknowledge the prior work. It's like saying one says it does make one more vulnerable; one says it doesn't. Both studies give scientifically statistically significant results. The flu vaccination is less than 40% efficacious. I think bottom line, they don't want hospitals overrun. Legitimate, but that's the priority and primary objective. I 🙏

    It seem likely the flu season in Australia was greatly minimised by the lock down and distancing of people in Australia this year particularly in the winter months. Those distancing practices included restrictions on public transport, public meetings, shopping, workplace distancing and bans on attending public sporting events as well as the emphasis on the need to sanitize. Added to that was the promotion of the flu vaccine.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.

      The guidelines and data analysis being used here is severely flawed and non-scientific to perpetuate an ongoing good day bad day information cycle to keep people tuned in. The only narrative that should be talked about, is the fact the pandemic is all but over and is by definition, well into what is known in epidemiology as the pathogen endemic, equilibrium phase. (viral stasis)
      Any vaccines that are being developed right now, are already dated and ineffective due to two fundamental factors, antigenic shift (mutation) and virulence dilution.
      The high case counts with low casualty numbers are a normal predictable pattern of all Corona viral outbreaks. The virus has drastically weakened virulence from T-Cell antibody immune response to massive population infection spread and saturation, to the extent it becomes, to the vast majority, nothing more than another common cold like annoyance.
      Because the SARS-COV-2 virus is now at the epidemiological low level virulence phase, all future focus should be towards (MPIE) mass population immunization by exposure, (herd immunity) from the healthy population, as rapidly as possible in order to protect the most vulnerable health population.
      This is neither a guess nor a theory, but rather verifiable, empirical, biological law. Everyone must take the time to listen to this interview with prominent top scientists, with over 3,500 virologist, epidemiologist, scientists and infectious disease experts signing onto a Sweden approach policy declaration. This many scientists signing on, is not surprising however considering it was the exact worldwide infectious disease policy that has been implemented for every pandemic for the past century.

And many more people than usual got vacinated. Also we have mandatory mask wearing since August as well as the recommended social distancing, hand hygiene. We have also been in lockdown. All this means hardly any flu or common cold.

      Here's some of the information I found about the pandemic in Sweden (apologies for anything irrelevant to your question, it's copy pasted from a document I reply often with.
      The citizens took the advice of their government and they self isolated. The Swedes generally trust their governments advice, so there was no need for shutdowns. Also, gatherings of more than 50 were prohibited.
      www.npr.org/2020/09/04/909793678/swedish-approach-to-the-pandemic-is-it-working
      Comparison of deaths per million in Scandanavian countries.
      Sweden 576
      Denmark 108
      Finland 61
      and Norway 49
      Of course trump’s (the guy who lied to his country about the severity of covid19)
      corona virus adviser, scott atlas, now recommends following Sweden’s example.
      But it's no surprise that *scott atlas has no background in infectious
      diseases or epidemiology, and trump found him on Fox News.*
      Also, the virus doesn't leave a person healthy after they've been sick.
      The doctors are recording that a growing number of covid19 patients have
      lasting heart damage and dangerous inflammation. It's not just the elderly
      either (as if that should matter). During the final week of June in the
      sunbelt states, nearly half the covid19 patients were ages 18 to 49.
      You may be inclined to think this is just all a democrat hoax still,
      but Europeans agree that Sweden has done poorly, and their system of
      what countries they allow free travel of quarantine from shows this
      as Sweden is always a red or orange color on the map (meaning they
      are either not allowed at all, or they must quarantine upon arrival.

      also agree they should have done more.

    Another trick used by the drug industry involves foundations. A foundation is a nongovernmental entity that is typically established to make grants to institutions or individuals for scientific and other purposes. Donors often give money to foundations instead of to the university itself, in part, because foundations have a fiduciary responsibility to represent the donor’s interest.
    Money given to a foundation can be kept private in order to protect the donor’s identity and does not become public record.22 So, it provides the perfect opportunity for industry corporations to pay for research on their behalf without receiving any public scrutiny for doing so. Likewise, Thacker noted:23
    “Researchers have documented corporate influence skewing research in food, synthetic chemicals, risk analysis, pesticides, air pollution, genetic technology, and climate change.
    Unlike medicine, these areas of science do not have the same volume of peer reviewed literature documenting corporate influence on academics, journals, regulatory bodies, and research. But these scientific disciplines have an enormous impact on public health.”
    The BMJ is among those calling for a reduction in commercial influence in health care moving toward transparency and has launched a global initiative toward that end. In a press release, BMJ’s editor-in-chief, Dr. Fiona Godlee, said:24
    “Patients and the public deserve to have evidence they can trust. Commercial influence has no place in scientific research, nor in the education and guidance of clinicians, nor in decisions about diagnosis and treatment. We hope that people around the world support our call for fundamental reforms.”
    The journal plans to add more content to the collection to further understanding of the conflict of interest between commercial Industries and medical decisions.
    They brought together experts from eight nations in medicine, law and philosophy to propose fundamental cultural changes with the intention of moving away from commercial influence. Hopefully this will prompt an emerging and widespread trend toward independence.

      Usually the "flu like" syndrom when it's real (not the coincidence of getting the flu at the same time someone get the vaccine), appears the first time you get the vaccine. I got it the first time I vaccinated with influenze vaccine more than 20 years ago, since then I haven't had any serious cold or flu.

    • @ghwk-phd2784
      @ghwk-phd2784 Před 3 lety

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor .

      It's absolutely ridiculous to recommend a flu vaccine that is only 40% effective at best. With all these measures in use for covid, the probability of catching the flu is minimal. Australia had a 90% reduction in their numbers this season just completed for that reason.

      Now, in your rural area, like mine, the chances of getting the flu are far less admittedly, but for those who live in more populated areas, that risk is obviously massively increased.
      You may find that the flu vaccine isn't as important for you personally, but that does absolutely nothing to discredit it's importance for those who are at far far greater risk because they come into contact with hundreds more potential carriers than you will.

      One strategy is to look for new Walk-In clinics and start going there as these often switch to regular practice once they have enough patients. I would ask a doctor you like at one of these clinics if they're taking patients or know one who is. There's always new graduate doctors every year.
