“They” sure are wanting to jab everyone with whatever they can.“

It really is the smoking gun of all of this. I even read now where they want those who already had covid to still get vaccinated!

Madness.....

My doctor finally talked me into getting the flu shot last fall. I told him it wouldn’t affect Covid19, but he said it would ramp up my immune system. He got me to take it by telling me if I caught Covid19 and gave it to my husband,(who’s very high risk) that it could kill him. I accused him of dirty pool, but I took the shot. We will NOT be getting the Covid19 vaccines!

The coronavirus and the flu are two entirely different viruses.

Not even in the same family of viruses...

Correlation is not causation...if the influenza vaccine had any effect it would just be that it put the immune system on alert, if that is even a thing with the immune system.

But the most likely reason I think is probably what is relayed in this part of the article:

Chi also noted that, "on average, those who get flu shots tend to be people who are more cautious and care about their own health. These are the same people who are more likely to [adopt] a higher level of safety-hygiene practices during the pandemic," which could mean that their future COVID-19 exposure might be to a "lower density of virus."

There is actually a window of time where that may be the case - more susceptible to infections in general as apparently they contain an immunosuppressant to allow the flu vaccine to actually get into the body vs. it being immediately intercepted and wiped out upon entry by the immune system and therefore be completely ineffective.

I did not know that. But if it gets immediately wiped out by the immune system that would be a good thing, no? Shows your immune system works.
