This 'head' varies between strains and changes over time — which is one reason why the vaccine must be updated each year.

The new research focuses on the 'stem' of the protein. Because this is sufficiently similar between different strains, the theory is this will offer protection against all strains.

Why would anyone trust these people again?

They just need two weeks to flatten the Flu curve.

C’mon Man!

Unlikely.

But I still wouldn’t take it.

The entire medical establishment short a few brave doctors who still have some integrity left, has proved itself completely untrustworthy. There is no reason to trust the CDC, FDA, big pharma, and hospitals again. They have lied to us too much and too consistently the last 3+ years to give us any reason at all to trust them.

A “jab” that kills you will certainly “keep ALL flu strains at bay.”

Decades ag, when flu shots first cam out, my sister persuade me to get one. And then I got the flu. Haven’t had it since. Worst thing I’ve had in the last 20 years was a cold that a lasted five days. Cllor triton and Mucinex from the drug store kept symptoms mild.

But then, I’ve taken one gram of vitamin C every day for the last 40 years. That builds your immune system. My MD didn’t think I needed a covid vax because I have an immune system.

Oh yea, I’m going to just run right out and get my shot. Besides what can go wrong?

Great news, so people won’t die from flu. They might die of vaccine-induced AIDS, but at least it won’t be the flu.

Can they also find a way to slip in the rona vaxx with just one shot? Science.

Good News: you don’t have to worry about the flu anymore! Yay!!

Bad News: mRNA spike proteins will induce a sudden and unexpected myocardial infarction resulting in untimely death, but it will be explained away as natural causes

Isn't it interesting how media has become marketing? Sell. Sell. Sell. And in the case of this last mRNA "event," sell without any product liability.

The real "holy grail" is and has always been a healthy immune system, one which doesn't need these latest "holy grail" injections. The later are products, and products require marketing, as even the vocabulary of the last mRNA "event" marketing proved with the lingo, "uptake" and attack against those rejecting the marketing, "hesitancy."

Marketing wants sales, uptake and even allegiance, while "caveat emptor" is still very sound advice indeed.

“mRNA” did not appear in the article.

It should have, to say whether or not the vaccine is mRNA based.

Infectious Disease ping - Changes in procedure may develop into a possible universal influenza vaccine
Changes in methodology of addressing influenza vaccines

SeekAndFind : " This 'head' varies between strains and changes over time — which is one reason why the vaccine must be updated each year.
The new research focuses on the 'stem' of the protein.

(From the article):"The annual flu vaccine currently protects against four strains of the virus
which scientists believe are most likely to be in circulation in the coming winter."

"There are three different types of flu virus affecting humans — A, B and C, with various sub-types (including 29 of type A alone) which may mutate over time.
Scientists look at patterns of flu in other parts of the world to help decide which strains to include in the annual flu vaccine given here
— but that has to be months in advance, to allow time for the vaccine to be made.
The vaccine will include two A strains and two B strains thought most likely to be circulating in the coming winter
(type C strains are not included, as they usually cause only mild symptoms)."

"But scientists don't always get the selection right. In 2014/15, for instance, the flu jab ended up being only 3 per cent effective at preventing cases of flu
because the strains contained in the vaccine were so out-of-kilter with what was circulating."

"Now, by adopting a new approach, scientists at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
have made a 'major step forward' in the search for a universal flu vaccine.
Current vaccines target the 'head' of proteins called hemagglutinins, which are found on the surface of the flu virus."
