In a newly published study, scientists have shown that the flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19.
This was the largest study…which strongly suggested that the annual flu shot reduces the risks of stroke, sepsis, and DVT in patients with COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 who had been vaccinated against the flu were also significantly less likely to visit the emergency department and be admitted to the intensive care unit.
Members of the first study group had received the flu vaccine two weeks and six months prior to being diagnosed with COVID-19. Those in the second group also had a positive COVID-19 diagnosis but were not vaccinated against the flu. The incidence of 15 adverse outcomes (sepsis; strokes; deep vein thrombosis or DVT; pulmonary embolism; acute respiratory failure; acute respiratory distress syndrome; arthralgia or joint pain; renal failure; anorexia; heart attack; pneumonia; emergency department visits; hospital admission; ICU admission; and death) within 30, 60, 90 and 120 days of testing positive for COVID-19 were then compared between the two groups.
The analysis revealed that those who had not had the flu shot were significantly more likely (up to 20% more likely) to have been admitted to the ICU. They were also significantly more likely to visit the emergency department (up to 58% more likely), to develop sepsis (up to 45% more likely), to have a stroke (up to 58% more likely) and a DVT (up to 40% more likely). The risk of death was not reduced.
Although it isn't exactly known yet how the flu vaccine provides protection against COVID-19, most theories speculate that the flu shot may boost the innate immune system—general defenses we are born with that do not protect against any one specific illness.

Kinda like 1984!
The deeper issue (that is almost never discussed) is that every person has a different health profile.
The vaccines will affect every person differently, and that is why a physician who knows the patient should be recommending if the patient should take the vaccine and which vaccine would be best for the individual patient.
Mass inoculations and massive propaganda campaigns are a grotesque violation of medical ethics.
It takes “leaders” who are sociopaths to even consider such an approach.
Well I regularly got the flu shot until last year since I figured with all the isolation and measures that it wouldn’t be needed. I didn’t get the flu . I think my theory was accurate. That said while I haven’t gotten any of the covid ones I can see getting the flu shot this year if this has validity.
Protection from what?
"The risk of death was not reduced."
Can you say IRONY???
Actually, you missed this, which I did not post:
“The investigators were also able to calculate how many COVID-19-positive patients would need to receive an influenza vaccine to avoid one adverse outcome. Notably, they found that only 176 patients needed to have received a flu vaccine to prevent one ED visit within 120 days of testing positive for COVID-19. Additionally, only 286 patients needed to have received their flu vaccine to prevent one case of sepsis, which is known to be the most expensive condition to treat in the U.S. health care system. Last, for every 440 patients who were up to date on their flu shot, one ICU admission was prevented.”
Those serious event reductions show a lot of benefit.
Remember, in all the testing done by Pfizer to get the emergency use approval, more than 99% of the control group did not even get COVID-19.
So those number for the flu shot benefit are stunning.
Another toxic vax.

I heard that they are going to start using mRNA in the flu vaccine. If so, I’m not getting it any longer.

The Flu Vaccine Is “Significantly Associated” With An Increased Risk of Coronavirus
Maybe they’re just TELLING you it’s a flu shot because you won’t take the mRNA shots.
I have refused to take a normal flu shot for the majority of my adult life. The way things are now, I would not trust doctors to give me an actual, plain vanilla flu shot if I requested one. I can just see a PA or whoever slipping in a Pfizer covid shot and saying oops afterward.
Life and death is pretty much the bottom line here.
20% fewer hospitalizations, but the same death rate?
Sounds odd.
Since all the vaccines are still experimental, it is actually a violation of federal law.
Interesting. I got a flu shot in fall 2019, which I almost never do. I was sick the entire month of January 2020. I still wonder if it was flu or Covid. Unlike the flu, it had a “pneumonia” feel too it. It would be funny if I got Covid and getting that flu shot not long before helped. I will never know.
I still have no clue if I got Covid. Nobody seems very interested in finding out who already has been infected, unless they died or went to the ICU and can stoke the fears.
So this is actually the flu with a fancy name
