OT: Flu shot making the flu worse

That’s what the CDC did on that question of whether a flu shot does see quite a few who would otherwise have got the flu, not get it.

CDC uses a lot of Industry funded studies and are themselves funded by industry. They are compromised.

For the CDC's results to be accurate, they must show similar results in non-industry funded research. They don't.

As I said, use the scientific method, or don't bother writing me back.

Like your scientific methods, whereby you told us that dental amalgam fillings harden by the mercury coming out, otherwise they would not harden? How stupid is that? It would mean you'd get a fatal or close to fatal dose of mercury from having a few filings done.

Or right here:

"" In the relatively uncommon circumstance of vaccine matching the viral circulating strain and high circulation, 4% of unvaccinated people versus 1% of vaccinated people developed influenza symptoms (risk difference (RD) 3%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2% to 5%). The corresponding figures for poor vaccine matching were 2% and 1% (RD 1, 95% CI 0% to 3%). These differences were not likely to be due to chance."

It clearly says that even when the vaccine is a poor match, it reduced your chances of getting the flu by about half. And in years when the match was good, it cut the chance by 75%. The problem is that you either simply are incapable of understanding what you read or you just lie, lie, lie. Quite like Trump. There are no scientific methods involved.

Not on that particular question they didn’t.

and are themselves

They are in fact partially funded by the fees they charge for some of the work they do.

How odd that other similar operations in other countries that receive no industry funding what so ever, have found the same results with the number who avoided getting the flu by vaccination using the scientific method.

Another bare faced lie.

That is what the other comparable operations to the the CDC in other countries do.

or don't bother

You get no say on what anyone writes back.

All those CDC equivalents in first world countries do just that.

You get no say on who goes anywhere.

Ah ha! You are Rot Speed. Give him hell peeler! Your new nym shift is added to my ass holes filter.

Everyone who confronts you with the truth and exposes your silly BS winds up on your filter list. It's part of how Trumptards are created, they just keep listening to what agrees with what they think they already know.

I did have the yellow fever booster about 20 years ago and had to take the Hep B vaccine until I developed decent AB levels (it took

No, tetanus does not confer immunity. You have to vaccinate tetanus survivors.

You can get tetanus from something as trivial as a tooth cavity. The germ exists all over the world. All it needs is a decent environment and it grows. It's a stupid risk to take, not having a booster every 10 years or so. No, there is no Clostridium braziliensis. Same here as there. []'s

But havent you retired now ?

I havent for much longer than that but don't see anything like that many people a day.

I meant tetanus shots, not tetanus itself.

I meant more commonly seen there. We don't get yellow fever here.
