Bill Gates: Flu Vaccine Isn’t Effective in the Elderly, COVID-19 Vaccine Will Have to be Different
The Epoch Times ^ | April 11, 2020 | ZACHARY STIEBER

The flu vaccine “isn’t that effective” in older people so vaccines for COVID-19 will have to be different, according to Bill Gates.

“The efficacy of vaccines in older people is always a huge challenge. Turns out the flu vaccine isn’t that effective in elderly people. Most of the benefit comes from younger people not spreading it because they’re vaccinated and that benefits on a community basis the elderly,” Gates said during an interview with CNBC.

“Here we clearly need a vaccine that works in the upper age range because they’re most at risk of that.”

Vaccine researchers are working to try to create a vaccine that “works in older people” but doesn’t have any side effects, Gates added.

Most vaccines being created are expected to be available next year if they pass through a gamut of tests. It’s possible ones using messenger RNA, a genetic platform, could be ready before earlier than others.

Gee, Bill...do you think your amazing vaccine could also include a special tracking chip?

That would solve all of the NWO problems, wouldn’t it?

“First Bill wanted to kill all the old people, now he wants to take care of them.”

Any flu shot or any drug that this anti human de-populationist backs/pushes will be a no go for me!

Uhhhhh.... the flu-vaccine isn’t effective in the elderly?!

That’s not what’s been advertised!!

So if it’s not effective in the elderly (presumably because their immune systems don’t adapt?) that infers it’s not effective in the immuno compromised...

And if that’s true that means it really only works in the HEALTHY who probably don’t need it anyway!

It has been 39 years since the outbreak of AIDS in the US. We still don’t have a vaccine against HIV. Why should we expect a vaccine against this virus in 12 to 18 months?

In my opinion, by “different” he probably means “lethal.”

Wasn’t Gates involved in that Texas program for HPV (warts) vaccine made mandatory for students? How did that work out?

Someone needs to tell Gates that there are two versions of the flu vaccine just for the elderly. Twice as powerful.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/65over.htm

BTW, during the 1918 ‘Spanish Flu’ the elderly were the least affected since most deaths were the result of an immune systems that over-reacted to the virus. The elderly had less effective immune systems that lacked the over-reaction of the immune systems of the young.

According to (college drop out and software plagiarist) Bill Gates. That’s as far as I read.

Gee, Bill, you sure seem to know a lot about viruses and vaccines and whatnot. Maybe you oughta spend some of your billions and invest in a lab that experiments with viruses and vaccines. And whatnot.
