New research suggests that patients who received their annual flu vaccine before contracting coronavirus may have some degree of protection against severe effects associated with COVID-19, such as stroke, sepsis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Data collected from patients around the world and presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Disease (ECCMID) suggests that those who had received a flu vaccine prior to COVID-19 were both less likely to visit the emergency department and less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Researchers from University of Miami Miller School of Medicine created two groups of 37,377 patients that had certain risk factors ...

...Among the COVID-19 group who did not receive a flu vaccine, researchers noted a 20% increased likelihood of being admitted to ICU, a 45% increased likelihood of developing sepsis, a 58% increased likelihood of having a stroke and a 58% increased likelihood of///

Study claims?  Naah, nowadays you wouldn't know what're they putting in the so-called vaccines.

I'll wait for the scientists in Spain to put some random vaccine vials in the electron microcope.

Contrary data and studies are useless now.

Pro-vaccine proclamations are all anyone can say.

We’re all in this together. Get your shot. /s

This is not new.

My allergist told me years ago that there are some similarities between all viruses and that when you get the flu shot, it also confers some level of protection against other viruses. Not enough to keep you from getting them, but enough to help lessen the severity of the symptoms.

FAKE NEWS.

2017-2018 flu shot - military who were vaccinated were 35% more likely to get Covid.

Fauci has talked about combining the flu shot with the Covid shot already, so suddenly the flu shot helps? I don’t think so. I don’t trust them to fill a needle and tell us what’s in it. It HAS come to that! :(

The CDC has been lying throughout the Covid plandemic - I have zero reason to believe they mean well.

I don’t buy this fake news. This 2017 - 2018 Military Study says the flu shots make people MORE VULNERABLE to Coronavirus…
