We have yet another example of the capture of the federal regulatory apparatus by the drug industry. This time it will potentially result in great harm to patients.
The mRNA vehicle was used for the Covid vaccine that caused so many problems. Many people to this day live with the consequences.
The FDA approved within the last couple of days an mRNA vaccine for the flu. This is a horrible decision. Patients will potentially have little way of knowing if they are being given this vaccine when presenting for their annual flu shot.
Check out what was glossed over by the FDA:
The FDA’s own briefing document reveals that 75.3% of senior mRNA-vaccine recipients experienced at least one solicited adverse reaction within seven days, compared with 49.3% of those receiving Fluzone High-Dose.
Even more concerning, severe (Grade 3) systemic reactions occurred in 6.7% of mRNA recipients versus 1.7% with the traditional high-dose flu vaccine—nearly four times as frequently.
Even worse, the pivotal efficacy trial contained no placebo group. Instead, Moderna compared mFLUSIVA against traditional flu vaccines.
This is a mess. RFK Jr.’s hands have been tied. Trump and his people have succumbed to pressure from Senate Republicans on the matter of vaccines because of the industry’s enormous campaign donations.
I recommend patients ask a lot of questions if they choose to get the flu shot. Or even better, it might be safest to forego the flu shot completely.
No placebo control group; that isn’t science. No matter how corrupt you think the medical-industrial complex is, it is worse.
Trump would not have won the election without the MAHA voters. RFK’s appointment aside, almost none of the MAHA values have been advanced. A vaccine-mandate DEI appointee was just confirmed CDC head. The very excellent Marty Mckary was let go from FDA leadership after a year. Taxpayer money is still going to buy the toxic jab for children–still under Emergency Use Authorization fraudulently obtained.
This is very much in line with my thesis that the US is ruled by a corrupt, cancerous organism. Elections are just a ploy to make the sheep buy in.
The real divide in America is not between Republicans and Democrats, but between those in on the racket and those excluded from it. John Thune, Chuck Schumer, Bibi Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Pfizer, and the rest of the Epstein class are in on it. You, I, and the rest of the sheep who pay taxes are excluded.
It is interesting, J. Sobran, that Tucker Carlson and others are beating the drum for a 3rd party. Of course, I would argue that we already have a 3rd party– the Constitution Party– whose values and platform would serve well those who wish to correct the uniparty’s deficiencies.
TC, I have had the annual flu shot every year since I turned 50 ( that will be 40 years )
In plain language please tell me how the risk factor is now greater than my previous jabs.
If they give you the new mRNA vaccine without your knowledge, Fred, your risk is much greater than with the previous flu shots. I would recommend that everyone insist on the older type flu shot–not the mRNA type– if they are going to be vaccinated.
