Flu Season Is Coming. mRNA Flu Shots Aren't Far Behind
Time ^ | Alice Park

Posted on 09/22/2022 5:54:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

After the remarkable success of the mRNA vaccines in protecting people against COVID-19, scientists are turning their attention next to another annual respiratory scourge: influenza. Both Moderna and Pfizer—makers of the first vaccines to earn U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval using the mRNA technology—are studying whether subbing in the influenza virus’ genetic material in that platform will prove equally fruitful.

On Sept. 14, Pfizer announced that the first volunteers had received doses of its mRNA flu shot; the Phase 3 study will involve more than 25,000 adults in the U.S. ages 18 and up who will be randomly assigned to receive either the experimental vaccine or a placebo. In June, Moderna announced its late-stage trial of an mRNA-based influenza vaccine that targets the same flu strains that are expected to circulate this fall and winter. Moderna’s study will involve 6,000 adults in the U.S. and other countries in the southern hemisphere, which experiences its flu season several months before the U.S. Both trials are now at similar stages; neither company has provided a timeline for when they might expect results, and, if those results are positive, when they might submit a request to the FDA for approval.

Public health experts are hoping it won’t be long, however. The advantage of the mRNA platform is that it’s flexible and generalizable. Theoretically, scientists only need to switch out the genetic material, or mRNA sequences, from one virus for another. It’s a matter of figuring out which specific genes will activate the immune system the best—and that’s where researchers have decades of experience with influenza that they didn’t have with SARS-CoV-2.

Both companies are targeting the four flu strains that the World Health Organization (WHO) identified in February as being most likely to circulate during the 2022-2023 flu season in the

I guess there’s no such thing as too much of a great thing, right?

The extraordinary lengths they are going thru to get mRNA into your system is in itself a reason to run from institutional medicine for the time being if you can do so. They are combining that modified genetic material into any shot they can.

There is something horribly sinister about the true motives behind this if you peel the onion deep enough.

I read, "After the remarkable success of the mRNA vaccines in protecting people against COVID-19..." and laughed until I was in tears. I thought it was a Babylon Bee, then I saw it was New York Slimes. What a bunch of lying scoundrels!

This will be the first time in quite awhile that I will not be getting a flu shot. Maybe never again.

AVOID ALL COVID AND FLU “SHOYS”.
They are useless and probably harmful.

Me either. I never took a flu shot - or a Covid shot.

IDs funny though - I was never anti-vaccination. My parents were against going to the doctor or taking medicine for common ailments, but they had no problem with us getting the vaccinations recommended by the school.

Then, when I did a lot of international travel for Scott Paper Co, I had no problem getting all the vaccinations their staff doctors recommended.

I assumed, as my parents did, that these doctors knew what they were doing and had no motive to lie to me.

We can’t assume that any more. The authorities are lying to us about everything.

“Take plenty of C, D3, and Zinc every damn day and you will be fine!!”

I started doing just that since the onset of Covid. Plus a few more items.

I “came of age” in terms of political awareness during the Watergate hearings and the fall of Saigon.

I “came of age” in terms of voter eligibility shortly before Three Mile Island.

My generation learned one simple truth: Government and their “experts” LIE.

NOTHING was FDA approved. COVID VAX is still EUA. mRNA secret sauce is EUA.

Even better if you add Quercetin and NAC during flu season-natural immunity is the best and safest kind-nothing unnatural involved...

Now, the flu shots are frankenvaxxes, too-glad I have not done that, either...

it's only since Trump that most of us are seeing the full scope of government evil and it's preoccupation with subverting the Constitution and destroying American culture.
