With flu season approaching in the US, murmurs of a potential "twindemic" brewing are once again starting to surface.
"This could very well be the year," Vanderbilt infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner told NPR's Up First on Friday, "we have a surge in COVID, and simultaneously an increase in influenza."
One big reason that infectious disease experts are especially worried this year is because Australia's 2022 flu season was pretty bad, and what happens during the Southern Hemisphere's winter flu surge often forshadows the US flu season well.

I had the Hong Kong Flu 50+ years ago I honestly thought I was going to die AND was wishing I would die!! That flu put me IN BED for a month I thought I would NEVER feel like myself again, I was in my early 20’s OMG it was AWFUL!! I have NEVER had a cold OR flu since recovering from that 50+ years ago!! Never had a flu shot either!! When Covid hit I followed the supplement regimen my Doc gave me which was EXACTLY what most of us here were following, did not catch the damn thing did not wear a mask unless required by a store ect.
I tend to think the flu shot can be nominally effective against severe illness. A friend’s wife got it upon returning from Italy, said she was in bed for days and is just feeling better after 10 days.
Or it may not be.
If you are forced to wear a mask to enter a building, get one of these. I use them:

I say no to masking, the covid “vaccine”, the flu shot, the pneumonia shot, the shingles shot and everything else. When I finally did get covid, it was like having a very mild cold. It had no impact on my daily activities.
Bull S^^t!!
I’ll just wear my tach vest full of whatever. That will keep people away from me.
When you have asthma, even bronchitis can put you in the hospital with pneumonia. I don’t know which flu I had in 2008 but I ran a 106 fever for three days.
Here comes the fearmongering
I have been taking the recommended supplements for COVID and haven’t had it. My vaxed daughter had it though.
“Is this year’s shot an mRNA shot, or the traditional one?”
Traditional flu vaccines are made from either killed Flu virus or from inactivated live Flu virus.
There aren’t any manufactured mRNA flu vaccines but Flu itself is a negative strand RNA virus that contains plenty of mRNA.
If 5,000 IU and daily sun with shorts and short sleeves doesn’t do it I don’t want to know.
It’s in trial, across the country. First roll out was in CO.
....The new flu vaccines are based on mRNA technology, the same method that was used to create the most common and successful U.S. COVID-19 vaccines, those made by Pfizer and Moderna.
These vaccines use messenger RNA (or mRNA) to “teach” cells to make proteins. These proteins don’t cause illness, but are the same type that we’d get during a COVID-19 or flu infection. The vaccines then train the immune system to prevent actual infections.
The first group of participants in Colorado — 50 people ages 65 to 85 — could start receiving mRNA flu vaccines as early as mid-August. That’s when Dr. Myron Levin, an expert on infectious diseases and vaccines, expects to enroll older adults for the first round of testing at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Patients at the UCHealth Seniors Clinic will be able to volunteer for the study, as will other older adults.
The Colorado site is one of about 25 across the country where Pfizer will be conducting early tests on a new mRNA flu vaccine.
In the coming weeks, Levin also expects to enroll volunteers for another clinical trial realted to mRNA flu vaccines. Moderna has created a new vaccine that aims to provide combined protection against both flu and COVID-19, including the most recent variants of COVID-19. ....

Um...no, thanks!!

Wrong, again, Pelham.

But...there is a link, at my posted link, where YOU can sign up for these trials!
LOL...just string a yarn, Jacob’s ladder, from ear to ear ;-)
Whatever. The government nannies need to mind their own business.
Yeah, I had seen that. But when you go to an ordinary clinic or drug store this season you aren’t going to receive that. And if you somehow did you would be informed.
Vitamin D and wash your hands often. Not just a quick rinse, sing the Happy Birthday song in your head while you wash with soap for a good wash. And clean the shopping cart handles with the disinfectant towelettes they provide.
I was this close to ordering a 3 pack of thongs from amazon to use...
