I got the shingles vaccine through the VA. That stuff is really bad news if you get it.

I told my doctor no at first and when I got home I research it to see if those shots had the mRNA in it. The one that was just coming out had it. I went back a couple of days later and asked them which company made the shot, and as far as I could tell it was the older shingles shot that didn't yet have the mRNA in it so I got it but to be honest I probably would of talked myself into getting it if even it had the mRNA stuff in it cause like you said, shingles is pretty bad stuff. As far as the future goes I don't think we will be able to avoid it cause they are putting it in all kinds of shots and medicine, but I may have read that from a bad media source.

Air Force officials reported that only about 40% of new recruits at Lackland chose to receive the flu vaccine after the policy change.

Of course, it doesn't say how many arrived at the base having already had a flu shot in the months leading up to their EOD and, of course, turned the AF down when it was offered.

You can still get the flu even if you’ve had the flu shot.

What was the comparison of the flu outbreak in troops when they were vaccinated?

“of the 160 who did get the flu, how many also got the flu shot?”

Yes. I guess that is The Big Question.

I won’t get a flu shot. God only knows what’s in those syringes.

Wuhan Flu Was a nasty bug and struck some pretty hard But I believe it was Purposely manipulated in it’s Treatment to Harm ,
Not Heal. Media Instilled The Fear, Hospitals, Schools and Services joined willing then small Businesses were targeted.
A Massive Hoax that Gripped the Planet.

On Wednesday, my PCP suggested a flu shot, and asked if I wanted a Covid vax. (I think she has to.) I just gave her the stink eye, and she laughed.
