Science Daily ^ | August 4, 2021 | Univ. of Miami Miller School of Medicine

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.

So if the flu shot vax, based on this study provides protection against the severe ill effects of Covid 19, then WTH would we mess with potentially dangerous Covid m-RNA vaccines which dont prevent the Covid but only stops its severe effects just like the flu shot? Based on this study I'll take the flu shot ONLY.

Stop it with the common sense. Critical reasoning is forbidden also.

Or the Flu shot can leave dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis the rest of your life. 1 and only 1 Flu shot, life time autoimmune disease.

I don’t believe this article. Reason being, a similar study conducted in 2017-2018 revealed the opposite! The recent military study shows military personnel evaluated who received the flu vaccine were at 36 percent higher odds of testing positive for coronavirus (pre-SARS CoV2)…

This study has since been debunked by the people in charge of debunking. They also debunked aspirin yesterday after it was said to be beneficial as a prophylactic clot therapy. According to Doctor Lester Holt (NBC News) and Doctor Neil Cavuto (FOX News Division) aspirin can kill you if used improperly, so it’s best to lock it away in your gun safe.

This is really weirdo - how in heck can an influenza vaccine impact coronavirus - totally different viruses. At least the authors admit they don’t understand the mechanism.

My 16 grandson got fully vaccinated and had no problems. Then he got the flu shot and immediately got sick, fever, etc. He has gotten better but missed 3 days of school. Hopefully he continues to be fine.

Flu shot protects against severe effects of COVID-19, study finds, and if you fail to take it, we’ll destroy your careers, opportunities, kill your jobs, go after your politically, stop your from traveling, shopping, and put you on black lists just for starters.

I have gotten the flu shot in the past. I’m skeptical this year because the jab zealotry going on may make them feel justified slipping the C19 to you unbeknownst.

And, in other countries including Spain, the head of the Health Organization can not prove that covid is a virus, and not a biological weapon. How can a vaccine protect against a virus that is not a virus. I have been informed that there is a patent out there on covid 19, which is a biological weapon.

I haven’t seen the patent, but I was told about it by a credible source, several people, as a matter of fact.

Does Fauci hold the patent?

Maybe the flu shot is better against COVID than it is against flu.

At this point, it doesn't appear that being "more effective than the covid vax" is all that much of a hill to climb.

If I had been given any of these shots past and present, I would certainly have to wonder “what is going on inside my body????”
