FDA approved the first mRNA flu shot on Wednesday. The strongest case against the headline number isn't ours - it's in FDA's own briefing document, in FDA's own words.
I wrote this here before but worth repeating. I was permanently maimed 13 years ago by a "safe and effective" flu shot when my PCP took note of my age and advised it. It was the 2nd flu shot of my life, the first at age 51 (no adverse event). I was an active, healthy, 52 year old. She assured me nothing would happen except possible mild flu symptoms for a day or two. Ten days later while falling asleep I had sudden onset of excruciating burning pain that traveled from the back of my neck, down my arm, through my elbow to the end of my right index finger. The pain was intense, steroids two weeks later helped (I waited to see my PCP, thinking it would get better but when intense weakness set in, I knew I was in trouble). While the pain subsided I developed a winged scapula: a hallmark of a condition called brachial neuritis, AKA Parsonage Turner Syndrome, neuralgic amyotrophy, brachial plexopathy or brachial plexus neuropathy - basically paralysis of the muscles innervated by the brachial plexus, a bundle of nerves that sits under the clavicle. The muscle that holds the shoulder blade in place (serratus anterior) was paralyzed so my shoulder blade or scapula stuck out like a bird's wing. I could not lift my arm all the way up over my head for 14 months, my triceps was flaccid and I lost my brachioradialis reflex.
It took 9 months for M.D.'s to conclude (with the help of my own intense research, my neurologist agreed with me when I showed him a medical article I found re: winged scapula as a known sequela of vaccination) it was the result of the utterly useless flu shot. Brachial plexus neuritis is an immune-mediated response to something in the flu shot: the immune system attacks the brachial plexus. It is idiopathic, they don't know for certain why this occurs. Another top neurologist said I had a classic case of brachial neuritis secondary to vaccination and wrote me a letter that helped me get the VICP settlement. At least 30% or more with this affliction do not recovery completely and face a lifetime of weakness /neuropathy and partial disability including myself.
Three years later I received a very modest "payout" from the VICP which I had never heard of. I'd give every cent back today to get my pre-"vaccine" body back. I live with 24/7 symptoms in my right dominant shoulder/arm/elbow, right wrist/hand/fingers and thumb that have not abated in 13 years: paresthesias (numbness/tinging), greatly reduced dexterity/stiffness, muscle atrophy, weak grip strength, overall weakness and occasional shooting pains. In 13 years, I have not had one "good" day, it's a a relentless baseline of neuropathy symptoms. That's why neurologists tell patients that nerves do not heal like bone, muscle or tissue because: they DO NOT. Nerves heal very slowly, often don't heal completely or in the correct way. Some people view me with suspicion when I tell them what happened as they've all been brainwashed by the safe and effective mantra as well as the shaming "Do it for yourself but mostly also do it for others".
Flu shots have always been a scam with piss poor efficacy, no one received flu shots when I worked as a hospital nurse in 80s-mid 90s, the adjuvants in these products are toxic. It is truly mind boggling that the FDA approved the new mRNA based flu shot. Absolutely everyone MUST SAY NO.
There’s a very good reason flu vaccines are a waste of resources. Virus mutations between seasonal outbreaks mean efficacy will only occur by accident. See :https://www.intechopen.com/online-first/1238245
“It is also an arithmetic projection, not a measured result, because no trial has ever compared this product to no vaccine at all.”
Has anyone ever measured flu outcomes of an unvaccinated-by-flu-shot population, and all the sequelae associated with coming down with flu on that unvaxxed population?
So riddle me this we are we using relative and not absolute. Ive read that the cdc has advised these companies not to use relative. The old flu shot at 2.2% efficacy compared to 2.9% for the mRNA is a .7 % better absolute. So this new technology is less then 1% better
Excellent breakdown of the math for us non-experts.
And of course, no long term data yet on side effects of an mRNA flu shot.
I quit flu shots years ago. I definitely wouldn’t get any mRNA shots. Or any vaccines for that matter.
Thanks for the great information. My wife and I will also pass on the flu shot, as we did on the Covid shots.

Stay away from the mRNA.
“It is also an arithmetic projection, not a measured result, because no trial has ever compared this product to no vaccine at all.”

I’ll never take an MRnA jab ever! Fooling around with genetic engineering is insanity!!!! Beyond unnatural! 👿

Never took a flu shot.
Any thoughts on studies like this that seem to find that taking the flu shot reduces the risk of Alzheimer Dementia in those over 65?
