How safe is getting a COVID booster and a flu vaccine simultaneously?
American Thinker ^ | 27 Sep, 2023 | W.A. Eliot

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce is arguably the best tight end in the NFL. Recently, he appeared in a commercial sponsored by Pfizer and aired during NFL games promoting getting a COVID booster and a flu vaccine simultaneously, showing two parallel band-aids on his arm, with the pitch being it saves time (“two things at once”). You can see the commercial on his Instagram page. Given Kelce also appeared recently in a Bud Light commercial and is rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, some conservatives are calling him out for triple wokeness.

But how safe is getting both vaccines simultaneously? A CDC-funded JAMA study published July 15, 2022, by researchers from the CDC and Emory University, looked into this very question, recording adverse events reported in the period September 22, 2021 to May 1, 2022 for one week following the injections through v-safe, a self-reporting app, for 92,023 receiving the booster and the flu vaccine simultaneously, compared to 889,076 receiving the booster alone. (Note: the study excluded the 2,647 who got more than these two vaccines simultaneously. All I can say to this group is: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?”) According to the Key Points:

Findings In this cohort study of self-reported data from 981099 persons aged 12 years or older, simultaneous administration of a COVID-19 mRNA booster dose and an influenza vaccine was associated with 8% to 11% increases, respectively, in systemic reaction compared with COVID-19 mRNA booster alone. These differences were statistically significant.

Similarly, at the end of the abstract:

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, compared with administration of COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccines alone, simultaneous administration of COVID-19 mRNA booster and seasonal influenza vaccines was associated with significant increases in reports of systemic reactions...

“five days a week of school was more than enough ..”

Sounds logical. It wouldn’t have worked for me since Dad was the preacher.

My book became so voluminous that I separated it into volumes (now 4).

There’s one exclusively about drinking water, and what I outline isn’t pretty.

Same for food.

How safe is drinking gasoline and lighting your nose on fire simultaneously?

Despite your belief that vaccines are a bad idea, the fact remains that vaccines have saved millions and millions of lives. Vaccines have eradicated smallpox and polio for example. I guess you think thousands of children in iron lungs are a good idea.

Thankfully, less and less people are buying your line.

Well, we’re down to only two ardent defenders of big pharma on a major vax thread. The gasbag bust have gotten fired or something.

I haven't yet gotten an answer about whether the flu "vaccine" is also an mRNA injection.
If they are combining both the covid "vaxxine" along with the flu shot - I'll pass !

I’ve heard that wither it is, or it’s in the works.

But considering how much I trust the government, I wouldn’t even consider taking the chance. They’d tell us *No* all the while knowing they were lying.

I put NOTHING past our government, media, or big business, especially big pharma.

Care for a little word of advice? You need to moderate your pitch just a bit. It's just a little too "over the top." You keep going at this rate, and you're handlers are going to replace you with a more sensible sounding AI bot. And then where will you be?

LOL. well done!

I’ve been an “anti-vaxxer” since just before my first child was born. Took a trip down that rabbit hole and never returned. None of the vx except maybe one has actually been true placebo tested for safety. They are always tested against another vx. If one wants to be healthy, avoid childhood diseases, avoid chronic disease, and reduce cancer risk, there is no substitute for diet and nutrition + sunlight, fresh air and exercise. If vaccines ever became “mandatory” ie. we’re coming to your house to plunge a needle in your arm, I would be inclined to treat it as assault with a deadly weapon, requiring deadly force in self-defense.

Ironically, it is the lefties who are rabidly in favor of vxcines and the cv19vx. They are in favor of penalizing those who do not take them. So whatever BS you are spewing today, go sell it on DK or another liberal site, DemocratMom.

This reply is for everyone.

I haven’t gotten any of the virus shots or boosters.

Got a shingles vaccine and a pneumonia Vax and a flu shot a few years back.

By a pharmacist. Stupid decision.

He put them all in one arm.

The next day I couldn’t get up.

Next time I saw him I asked why did that happen?

He said, prolly from the shingles vaxx

Then he told me I needed a booster for the shingles vaxx
Lol, I said no thanks.
He said its only 70% effective then.

No prob, no more jabs for me!

It’s all about money, government pays them big bucks to give ppl a “free” shot.

I figured out something a couple of years ago.

The vaxx wasn’t made for the covid China fauci virus.

The virus was made for the vaxx!

And who made the virus?

Well Dr Science Fauci!

Grain of FUNKtion!

7 ceos of Big Pharma vaxx makers became BILLIONAIRES a few months after they started pushing the Jab-o-Death!

Now the are pushing it again. But not for everyone.

Just everyone over 6 months old!

Virtually no children have ever died from Covid!

I think more have died from the Vaxxx than the virus...

The cure is worse than the disease!

Great book!

I saw RFKjr interviewed about it on Daystar TV
When it came out.

I was gobsmacked, no wonder the Deep State hates him so much.

Everyone should know what that book exposes

Thanks 2A!

"And this study shows that concurrent and sequential administration of the two vaccines is equally UN safe"

Then it lies

Notice where I put the big UN !

The Bible says that at tribulation time, one third of humans will die.

So it’s gonna get worse.

Check out the last book called Revelation.

How much do they pay you shills to repeat your lies? Do you get paid by the word, or is it per key phrase?

How much are you being paid to spout these misleading internet narratives?
You must be paid, no one can be so dumb to believe that vaccines haven’t been the greatest advance in preventing diseases in the history of mankind. Vaccines have saved millions and millions of lives.

Instead of insults, try facts. So far, you have none.
