How safe is getting a COVID booster and a flu vaccine simultaneously?
American Thinker ^ | 27 Sep, 2023 | W.A. Eliot

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce is arguably the best tight end in the NFL. Recently, he appeared in a commercial sponsored by Pfizer and aired during NFL games promoting getting a COVID booster and a flu vaccine simultaneously, showing two parallel band-aids on his arm, with the pitch being it saves time (“two things at once”). You can see the commercial on his Instagram page. Given Kelce also appeared recently in a Bud Light commercial and is rumored to be dating Taylor Swift, some conservatives are calling him out for triple wokeness.

But how safe is getting both vaccines simultaneously? A CDC-funded JAMA study published July 15, 2022, by researchers from the CDC and Emory University, looked into this very question, recording adverse events reported in the period September 22, 2021 to May 1, 2022 for one week following the injections through v-safe, a self-reporting app, for 92,023 receiving the booster and the flu vaccine simultaneously, compared to 889,076 receiving the booster alone. (Note: the study excluded the 2,647 who got more than these two vaccines simultaneously. All I can say to this group is: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?”) According to the Key Points:

Findings In this cohort study of self-reported data from 981099 persons aged 12 years or older, simultaneous administration of a COVID-19 mRNA booster dose and an influenza vaccine was associated with 8% to 11% increases, respectively, in systemic reaction compared with COVID-19 mRNA booster alone. These differences were statistically significant.

Similarly, at the end of the abstract:

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, compared with administration of COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccines alone, simultaneous administration of COVID-19 mRNA booster and seasonal influenza vaccines was associated with significant increases in reports of systemic reactions...

Yes.

Two things can be true at the same time.

“I really think they are a bad idea in general.”

now that we’ve done a deep dive technical study of the plethora of “recommended” AND mandated vaccines, we’ve come to the same conclusion ... no more vaccinations for us ...

prior to our in-depth vax studies, we lined up with the rest of the sheeple to get our annual (nearly worthless) flu vaccinations ...

but when the covid vaxes were being developed using experimental gene therapy that heretofore had been tested on just a very tiny number of people under very tightly controlled protocols, alarm bells went off, and we started to study the whole vaccination situation, and our studies REALLY opened our eyes ...

now add to that the MASSIVE (and completely false) 254 x 7x 365 vax propaganda by the Feds, the fascist corporate media, the medical communities, the drug store chains, and everyone else who would benefit from a MASSIVE campaign to inject the whole world with a non-FDA approved experimental gene therapy that skipped all of the normal vax testing protocols, the alarm bells REALLY went off! ... because, naturally, we also asked ourselves that if these vaxes were REALLY safe and effective, why the need for this GIGANTIC propaganda effort, a propaganda effort of this magnitude never before seen in history?

“I always wondered if it was really a good idea to swoop in with all vaccines at once for newborns. Seems to me it’d be a better idea to wait a couple weeks between each shot.”

you’re 100% correct: it’s completely insane to inject dozens of different antigens all at once into infants whose immune systems are in the early stages of development ...

In the past I used to get a flu shot knowing that it wasn’t 100% effective but that they did offer a level of protection with dead viral strains from A and B group. Now that greedy Big Pharma in bed with Big Govt and Global Elites hitched up with their unholy alliance and forced the experimental expensive Covid Vax’s and the new drugs on us like Remdesivir plus now the push to inject together Covid and flu vaccines together well I don’t trust any of it anymore. I’m still a believer of valid and time tested vaccines but not the evil poison pushed by these modern era demons and their sheep followers. Eff it, I’m going all natural immunity and trust the Lord for survival or not.

Former major city police detective reveals 50% of SIDS cases happened within 48 hours post vaccine 

My 16-minute interview of Jennifer, a former police detective in a major US city who handled over 250 SIDS investigations over 7 years implicates the childhood vaccines as the major cause of SIDS.

“now I’m firmly in the camp in which I don’t support ANYTHING WHATSOEVER promoted by this government for ‘public health’”

vaccination of the populace has often been justified as most beneficial to the herd, rather than the individual ... a lot like communism, actually ... in fact, vaccination of the populace can be thought of as medical communism ... you’re right to be suspicious of certain aspects of public health ... OTOH, ubiquitously safe water and food is tremendously beneficial ...

“Being stupid can be very unsafe.”

indeed ... as i’ve aged and developed numerous chronic and acute health problems, i’ve come to the conclusion that navigating the medical system to select that which is beneficial and reject that which is dangerous is the ultimate intelligence test ...

“Giving the shots at the same time means that, if the person dies, it’s impossible to tell which shot killed him.”

that’s also true of being told to start several NEW medications all at the same time: impossible to tell which one is causing serious side-effects ... lesson: NEVER start more than one new medication at a time ...

I would like to know if refuseniks are still being told they might not get needed care unless they are vaxxed.

I would also like to know what nosocomial rates of CoupFlu are doing in hospitals.

Why is it we never hear/see/read anything about nosocomial spread?

Inquiring minds want to know...

That’s like asking how safe it is to play Russian roulette while driving drunk.

Who's to say that that isn't happening already with flu shots? Sorry, but I don't trust the medical establishment not to combine the two without telling us, for our own good, of course.

I have never had either type of shot, and will not knowingly take either. I also have never had flu that I can remember, and haven't had even a mild cold since before COVID-19.

Fauci said in a press conference, "I think I'm going to combine the flu shot and the Covid shot..." I think that's all the notice we're ever going to get.

Also, Fauci said all vaccines would be based on the mRNA platform going forward. I think that's all the notice we'll get when standard vaccines become mRNA based because, you know, they don't want to encourage 'vaccine hesitancy'.
