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...

There are 300 Trillion underfunded liabilities reasons why viruses and vaccines must be manufactured.

My brother and his wife are actual anti-vaxers. SIL has been involved with RFK for many years regarding this.

They have three sons, ages 21,16, and 12, and I don’t think they’re ever sick. (One conveniently has a stomach ache on Sundays just before church, which miraculously disappears at noon. Dad called it “Sundayitis”.)

I never thought I would be in that group today. I used to make fun of those people. Then MRNA made me take a hard look at that particular Vax. I’ve read stories where they want to replace traditional vaccines with MRNA versions. If that’s the case will not be taking one at all.

Same here. In fact the last vaccine of any kind I took was administered by my pediatrician. Probably for tetanus.

To get rid of the vaxxed ones who survived the first vax onslaught.

Through my multiyear health recovery and research for my book, I endeavored to also perform a retrospective analysis of my health. The details exposed of my health condition through childhood has revealed symptoms which placed me squarely under the autism spectrum disorder umbrella, leaning a bit more towards Aspergers. I cannot explain how I snapped out of the stupor in those young years, but even today it’s clear that I’m different from most people. For years I believed that it was not necessarily the vaccines, but the vaccine schedule which damaged me.

What has concerned me is the glaring lack of research which might expose a connection between childhood conditions and the vaccines. The ‘pro-vaxxers’ like to talk up their game, but they don’t embrace science (a red flag) and the studies which might exonerate vaccines and/or cast a shadow over their damaging vaccine schedules.

Again, I’ve always been a supporter of vaccines and, had I children of my own, would have supported vaccination but on my own schedule, not theirs and neither their combined shots (eg MMR).

But after the covid plandemic, the facts which I’ve learned about polio, all the hyperbole governing the jabs and the hypocrisy of orthodox medicine, now I’m firmly in the camp in which I don’t support ANYTHING WHATSOEVER promoted by this government for ‘public health’, especially since the government sought to label me an ‘anti-vaxxer’ and criminalize my independent thought.

As well, in conversations with others - both in my sphere and online (FR as well) - it’s clear that I’m not alone (overwhelmingly a Conservative, pro-science position).

The plandemic exposed troubling details about our government and I’m of the opinion that we’ve far from seen the worst of it. ‘Vaccines’ are merely a symptom of a much, much larger problem most of us agree is killing this country and so, yes, color me now an ‘anti-vaxxer’.

I shoot back.

“I always wondered if it was really a good idea to swoop in with all vaccines at once for newborns. Seems to me it’d be a better idea to wait a couple weeks between each shot.”

Exactly.

It has been 50 years, but I did take a course in proper vaccine administration. IIRC, the body needs some time to react to the vaccine, it is a month, or so. The body ramps up interferon and blocks any reaction to additional challenges, and this takes a while to wear off.

Of course, your “vaccines” are not given by doctors these days, more like a HS dropout, so none of this applies any more.......

The Vaxx is safe!!! Just don’t jog, don’t participate in any sports...especially tennis. Oh yeah, don’t make any plans more than 3 or 4 years out.

Being stupid can be very unsafe. What a stupid question. The VAX isn’t safe no matter what else you take.

“Why such a VAX push? Is it to reduce the unVAXed control group or just to increase drug company profits?”

If you really have to ask that question at this point... you haven’t been paying attention ...or you’re floating down that infamous river in Egypt. Pushing the jab has multiple “incentives” for the globalist ghouls. All have been outlined and discussed nearly to death on this forum, in fact.

As for profits, look at most of the cable news advertisements these days. Probably 70% or more are for “medications”. Big Pharma is spending millions on these ads... and raking in billions in the process.

The left will now push the jab as a harmless annual flu vaccine, which most Americans still think of as “safe and effective”. They’re not. Even the “pre-mRNA” flu vaccines were not safe.

Giving the shots at the same time means that, if the person dies, it’s impossible to tell which shot killed him.

I am so offended with this Covid/flu push……I have decided against the flu shot, even though I usually take it

And some day, if you completely fill in all of the lines and checkboxes on your covid sweepstakes control card from the pharmacy,

Pfizer, Moderna, and Black Rock will send you a gift certificate for a one month free ventilator rental, 30 day Spotify subscription, and voucher for Fauci and Sons Caring, Conserving, Cremation and Recycling™ * service.

People need to understand that they are using mRNA technology to make most injections these days. They are too lazy or in too big a hurry to make shots the old-fashioned way by carefully testing for outcomes before injections. How they are getting away with “emergency use,” expedited, short or abbreviated preinjection testing is beyond me. Yes, they are even using this technology to make injections for livestock.

“A woman I work with (she’s all boosted up) has had COVID three times, and currently has it now. She says this third time is by far the worst of her COVID bouts. That’s a heck of a vaccine.”

Probably the world’s first “smart vaccine”. It keeps coming at you, again and again, until you finally succumb to the virus. It’s a feature, not a bug.

Lol... clever. But probably more true than we’d care to acknowledge.
