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

FWIW, and I’ve posted this before:

Four of my friends and I have been taking IVM and/or HCQ for a long time now. None of us have had any of the bioweapon shots or boosters. None of us have had the China virus or influenza or even a common cold since we have been taking these meds.

Something to consider.

See tag.

FDA/CDC’s Woohoo strategy was designed to hoist mRNA on the public. They want to go full-on CRISPR, but they haven’t had the excuse yet — yet.

I too issued my own “EUA” for Ivermectin use.

I am a free man.

I just had my annual (traditional, protein-based) flu shot.

This shall never change.

Makes me glad I have been politely declining the flu shot for the past decade.

I wonder if they are going to declare there is "no treatment" for the flu like they did with WuFlu?

I also wonder how many doctors are going to go along with it because they are wholly owned by the hospitals now and the hospitals are owned by megacorps.

There's no need to ever take a flu shot again. It's right there in the government data - no one died from flu in 2020 and 2021 because COVID-1984 killed the flu.

When did they declare there was no treatment for it? I don’t remember that.

I’m on the similar timeline. I grew up knowing most political leaders were liars. What took me longer to accept was how many voters and serfs believed the lies.

President Trump has exposed a lot of corruption at the top, but also a lot of ignorance at the bottom.

The entire Democrat electorate believes the bad guys are the good guys and visa versa.

Back when the vaccines came out the CDC declared there was no approved treatment for the WuFlu so they could get a fast track approval.

If there is a treatment for an illness then you have to get your approval the old fashioned way, by doing lots of testing.

Never took a flu shot ,EVER! As a combat medic 85’-93’ during every pom I stamped my own vaccine pamphlet (I had the stamp) and never took any of the myriad of shots they push for going overseas. That’s how hardcore I am ...these drug companies are not interested in making anyone healthy,no money in it for them .

I added those to my regular vitamin/supplement daily regimen as soon as the china flu started spreading-I got a mild case of it then, knocked it out in 3-4 days with a favorite homeopathic remedy-it was like a medium bad flu-but I did stay on my own property and work here for 10 days so as not to spread it. I still carry a package of masks in my truck in case I have a customer who is paranoid about the virus-but I didn’t wear a damn mask from day one unless it was required-fortunately most businesses out here stopped that mask nonsense early on-no one in this community that I know of died of china flu and I know of only 3 people who even went to a doc or hospital-but this is a remote area without a lot of people-but the snowbirds who book the cabins and RV parks for the Winter here likely brought he china flu to us...

As for the fake vaxx-I only know 3 people who got it-and 2 of them got a really bad case of China flu within 24 hrs-the guy I work with-a carpenter-was not able to work for nearly 2 weeks-he says he is still fatigued sometimes for no reason, but is getting better after getting a supplement plan from a nutritionist to rebuild his immunity. I wouldn’t take it for any amount of money-a simple flu shot will send me into anaphylactic shock in 30 minutes or less-so no thanks to any of that-I have had awful reactions to even some OTC drugs, so I avoid all drugs and I continue to live the naturalist lifestyle I grew up with-no drugs, no doc unless I have an injury I can’t fix, no processed/canned/packaged food, paleo diet all organic non GMO and free range grass fed-no sugar or refined/processed flour, no white rice, and avoid most wheat.

There are other people like me out here, as well as back-to-nature tourists-the small-chain rural grocery store about 18 miles away caters to us with fresh organic meat and produce...
