Fresh off the press this week!!
Cleveland Clinic did a study on their vaccinated employees this winter.
Results?
Among 53402 employees, 43857 (82.1%) had received the influenza vaccine by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1079 (2.02%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9%.
The flu shot had a NEGATIVE EFFECTIVENESS. I made a post last fall in September stating that this seasons “flu shot” had already shown a paltry 20% success rate at best (for whatever reasons they determine a shot to be a success, they are all crap and worthless but I digress). Now post flu season, the data from one clinic, among full time employees who took the shots, the data is even worse. The vaccinated had a HIGHER risk of getting influenza than their unvaccinated counterparts.
Stop the shots.
I always hear from the flu shot lovers how they get them every year and don’t get the flu - as if that is proof they work. The study showed your chance of even getting sick is 2% or less if you don’t get a shot. Why even have an intervention, since every intervention has risk, for something so insignificant. Probably keeping your vitamin D levels up during the winter would further reduce any chance of illness.
Failure? No way. This is a raging success! Moving from no effect to a position of actual decreased infection resistance sounds exactly like something those who want us dead would desire.
