The FDA has recently approved Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine. The vaccine, known as mFLUSIVA (mRNA-1010), is designed to protect adults ages 50 years and older.

*snip*

Moderna expects that mFLUSIVA will be available in the United States for the 2026 to 2027 respiratory virus season.

I have no quarrel with the old, traditional flu shots. But I am hugely suspicious about anything connected to mRNA “technology”.

So here’s a heads up for anyone who thinks as I do. If you’re going to get a flu shot, make sure it’s not an mRNA one.

I was asked at the VA last week about getting a flu shot. I declined and the nurse said good. Okee dokee then.

Yeah, the medical/death industry sure has gone out of their way to ensure no one trusts them.

That MurdeRNA is even still in business says it all.

To each his own. But shingles is a nasty thing. I got a major shingles attack 20 years ago. It even threatened my sight in one eye. So I didn’t hesitate to get the new shingles vaccine.

But who can say? And maybe the mRNA ghouls will eventually put an mRNA shingles “vaccine” on the market.

Buyer beware, indeed.

PLEASE have the traditional flu shot available!

The mRNA COVID shot made me sleepy. If the “noo” mRNA shots do the same, I won’t be able to get home safely!

“Noo” (and new) shots and medications need to be tested for ALL side-effects!

If the CDC recommends it, I avoid it.

Just as with guns that can kill people, it is not the tool that is the problem; it is how it is used.

That said, I don't trust ANY flu vaccine or (mRNA therapy "vaccine") simply because the chance that they'll have the right strain in it has been proven many times to be virtually nil and therefore not worth the risks and/or side effects.

Dr. Marion Gruber and Dr. Philip Krause (Late 2021 / Early 2022): The Director and Deputy Director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review announced their departures in late 2021.
Their resignations took full effect heading into 2022. They famously stepped down in protest of the Biden administration’s premature rollout plan for COVID-19 booster shots before the FDA could independently review the data.
Are the same political hacks appointed by the Bidenites to rubber-stamp approval still running the joint?

A vaccine by definition works, to at least some degree. I will submit to a vaccine.
Remember all the jabbed getting re-infected back then, president Trump for one?
A vaccine is a biological preparation that stimulates the body’s immune system to provide protection against a specific infectious disease.
The covid jab by definition is not a vaccine. I suspect this new & improved version is no better: a ‘cure for the common cold’.

“Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine approved by FDA. When is it available? [heads up]”. I got the flu vaccine once...it gave me the flu.

Last month at my annual Medicare visit my doctor wanted to know if I wanted a flu shot?

Nope. Not with the chance it’s a mRNA shot.

I never had a flu shot and never got the flu. I did catch a cold about 16 years ago.

Never had a covid shot either, but my friend had all of them. Then had covid four times. I had to buy groceries for her and leave it at the door.

Have taken tons of vitamins every morning for decades, never miss a day. Large amount of C daily keep those rotten germs running for cover.

My friend had Moderna and got Covic 4 5imes. What a lousy company.

The article does not disclose what date the mRNA vaccine started, nor the locations that used it.

That makes me instantly suspicious.
