In a newly published study, physician-scientists at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have shown that the flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19......Although it isn't exactly known yet how the flu vaccine provides protection against COVID-19, most theories speculate that the flu shot may boost the innate immune system. The results, said study authors, strongly suggest that the flu vaccine may protect against several severe effects of COVID-19.

The flu shot has nothing to do with covid and it is no similarity between covid and the flu other than they are both viruses. It has to do with exposing the immune system to a variety of pathogens. It’s like dating, if you know something about women you will be more successful at getting women to go out with them.

Those two sentences alone make more sense than anything Tony Fauci has ever said about anything. Admittedly, it was a low bar to start with. :-)

Remember when they said they were going to mix the flu vax with the covid vax?

Just starting to give this years flu shot.

Last year was not delta variant and no one was vaxxed. No dates in this study given, written in August.

Smells like utter bullshit.

Offer to take the flu shot and Opp! Little mistake, it was the WuFLu shot. So hard to tell the difference.

They really, really want you to get that shot.

And like anything else they try to push on you, it is not in your best interests.

I wouldn’t trust the flu shot going forward.

I wouldn't trust any doctor or hospital going forward.

They have destroyed their credibility in the past year and a half.

I’ve always taken the influenza vaccine. Never had an issue with it. Last one I took had four strains. Two A a B and a Swine strain.

Now I’m afraid to get the influenza shot because I don’t trust these sum-bitches. If they can sneak that mRNA in me, they will.

If you get your flu shot in a private physicians office they don’t have any COVID vaccine. They are not allowing it in drs office. Strange isn’t it.

It was suggested by someone today that doctors keep the vaccine handy when trying to persuade someone to take it, lest the person goes off and changes their mind. So it must be allowed in doctors’ office. Why wouldn’t it be?
