The US Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the United States’ first mRNA-based flu vaccine for adults 50 and older, drugmaker Moderna said.
“Flu remains a significant public health challenge, and mFLUSIVA provides an important new option for America’s seniors,” Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said in a statement. “This approval also reflects the ongoing potential of our mRNA platform to help address important public health challenges through continued scientific innovation.”
The new vaccine was found to be about 27% more effective during the 2024–25 respiratory virus season than standard flu shots in Moderna’s study, which enrolled over 40,000 adults 50 and older.
Side effects included injection-site reactions such as pain, tenderness and swollen lymph nodes; fatigue; headache; muscle or joint pain; nausea or vomiting; and fever.

How about NOOoo!!
Ooooh, do we get free boosters?
I dont think I would ever trust something that has “mRNA” attached to it in the rest of this life and beyond..
They redefined the word “vaccine” to fool the public.
I suppose this one, like the last, won’t prevent the flu but will kill you.
The efficacy of the standard flu shots is highly variable from year to year, because of antigenic drift in the viral surface proteins. The effectiveness from year to year is based upon the accuracy of the educated guesses made about what the new strain will look like. The "27% more effective" could also vary significantly from year to year, with no better or even worse relative efficacy of the mRNA in specific years.
mRNA kills and disables.
I did fine with the old flu shot...I guess I’m now through with them.
I wasn’t originally, but I became anti-vaxx about 6 years ago. All done.
F off scumbags.
Side effects include blood clots, cardiac damage and death. They mistakenly left those off.
They are bound and determined they are gonna get that poison into every last persons body one way or another.
F that noise.
Never had a flu shot to begin with, damned sure not gonna start now.
NO.
It will take a LONG time before the medical community/pharmaceuticals etc. regain any trust.
There’s a new version every year too. The big difference is that they don’t have to pick a strain six months ahead and stockpile flu vaccine from March to September. They can pick the target strain as little as 8 weeks ahead and manufacture enough doses. If the outbreak strain mutates mid season, the vaccine can be adjusted quickly.
These are unfortunate but unavoidable consequences of the main goal -- the big picture: Big Pharma profits.
True, some little people may have to suffer and die, but that is acceptable if we are to achieve this worthy cause.
That’s a hard no.
Surprise!
In my mid-70s and...
- never had a “flu shot”
- rarely get a cold (perhaps one every 2-3 years)
- even more rare, I get the flu (perhaps every 10-15 years)
At this stage of my life, there is absolutely no way I’d get a “vaccine”...especially with recent history of dishonesty that verges on genocidal murder.
