Your evidence?

From your very own beloved, trustworthy, straight up CDC website -

Why do I need a flu vaccine every year?

A flu vaccine is needed every year for two reasons. First, a person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so an annual flu vaccine is needed for optimal protection. Second, because flu viruses are constantly changing, the composition of flu vaccines is reviewed annually, and vaccines are updated to protect against the viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming flu season. For the best protection, everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated annually.

 

Vaccine Effectiveness

Influenza (flu) vaccine effectiveness (VE) can vary. The protection provided by a flu vaccine varies from season to season and depends in part on the age and health status of the person getting the vaccine and the similarity or “match” between the viruses in the vaccine and those in circulation. During years when the flu vaccine match is good, it is possible to measure substantial benefits from flu vaccination in terms of preventing flu illness and complications. However, the benefits of flu vaccination will still vary, depending on characteristics of the person being vaccinated (for example, their health and age), what influenza viruses are circulating that season and, potentially, which type of flu vaccine was used. For more information, see Vaccine Effectiveness – How well does the Flu Vaccine Work. For information specific to this season, visit About the Current Flu Season.

 

Can I get seasonal flu even though I got a flu vaccine this year?

Yes. It’s possible to get sick with flu even if you have been vaccinated (although you won’t know for sure unless you get a flu test). This is possible for the following reasons:

  • You may be exposed to a flu virus shortly before getting vaccinated or during the period that it takes the body to gain protection after getting vaccinated. This exposure may result in you becoming ill with flu before the vaccine begins to protect you. (Antibodies that provide protection develop in the body about 2 weeks after vaccination.)
  • You may be exposed to a flu virus that is not included in the seasonal flu vaccine. There are many different flu viruses that circulate every year. A flu vaccine is made to protect against the three or four flu viruses that research suggests will be most common.
  • Unfortunately, some people can become infected with a flu virus a flu vaccine is designed to protect against, despite getting vaccinated. Protection provided by flu vaccination can vary widely, based in part on health and age factors of the person getting vaccinated. In general, a flu vaccine works best among healthy younger adults and older children. Some older people and people with certain chronic illnesses may develop less immunity after vaccination. Flu vaccination is not a perfect tool, but it is the best way to protect against flu infection.

Yeah but you swallow the crap from quacks and other ne’r-do-well liars , so who cares what you say?

Admitting that he doesn't accept DATA from institutions responsible for dealing with the problem is essentially the same as boldly proclaiming that he embraces nothing but cockamamie conspiracy theories.

DATA = FACTS.

I'm not sure you realize this, Allan, but this article offers no evidence to back the claim you made that I questioned.

My claim was that the flu virus mutates a multitude of times in any given year, this is why the flu shots are always a year too late...you asked for evidence...I've given you the direct evidence quoted from CDC website...here it is again...

    Why are their differnt flu viruses every year ? Because they MUTATE...like COVID...so what part of this info do you disagree or struggle with ?? Do you know more than the CDC (wouldn't be hard) lol

For those who follow NFL Sports...... it's been an interesting two weeks.

  • Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers QB [unvaccinated] got Covid.....(and yes, I know the tit-for-tat backstory).  He contacted Joe Rogan, who had recovered from Covid earlier this year) and followed the same protocols of Ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D3, etc......and played in the game today against the Seattle Seahawks.  Packers won 17-0.
  • Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers QB [fully vaccinated] got Covid.....and was placed on the reserve/Covid-19 list and missed today's game against the Detroit Lions.

These are the kinds of scenarios that are surfacing.  If we leave the politics and tribal thinking out of it.... why can't our health experts take a look at other therapeutic treatments like IVERMECTIN?

Rodgers was sick with Covid-19 just 10-12 days ago (??)..... and he's out on the football field TODAY leading his team to a shutout over the Seattle Seahawks 17-0.  Why is there silence in the media?  Shouldn't medical experts be phoning him and asking him to explain his treatment, his recovery?

 

If anyone sees a follow-up news article on this.......let me know.  Thanks.

Two high profile athletes.......one unvaccinated, one fully vaccinated.......you'd THINK that our 24/7 news cycle of "journalism" would want to get the scoop on this, right?

I'm sure everyone is SO BUSY running data points that no journalist has the time to follow-up on this.  No fact checkers?  Nothing?  lol

One.....Aaron Rodgers, uses a treatment that is not approved by the FDA and CDC......and only misses one football game.  His covid treatment:  Ivermectin, zinc, vitamin D3, etc.  Shortly thereafter.....he's back on the football field and leads his Green Bay Packers to a shutout victory over Seattle Seahawks 17-0.

Does everything have to be run thru the authoritarian institutions of FDA, CDC and Big Pharma?

Facts are incontrovertible characteristics of the world. But the basic bias of our perception and imprecision of our measurement systems mean that the data we collect is very rarely a fact. Instead it is an approximation of an aspect of a fact. Conclusions are based on our evaluation of the available data.23 Sept 2016
 

Data is not facts - the impossibility of being unbiased - Data ...

2016? HA! In data science, five year old narratives are archaic and anachronistic.

Nevertheless, you disavowed reliance on data for credible decision-making. You added a dismissive emoji as if you had proven anything? Sure, Poindexter.

This is what you said:

"Any vaccinations conjured up for for flu type viruses (including covid) are always too late because the virus mutates a multitude of times before the shots even ministered."

 

This is a direct quote from the article:

"the composition of flu vaccines is reviewed annually, and vaccines are updated to protect against the viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming flu season."

 

Do you honestly not see what's wrong with your claim?

Regarding the Sen. Cassidy video:

Some people made a choice to work remotely. We're not told why. Perhaps they have a medical issue that makes that choice the prudent one. We don't know. Regardless, what happened to the idea of "freedom to make a personal choice"? Apparently he would like to cherry pick which freedoms he considers valid.

 

Clearly, his objective here is to discredit the effectiveness of the intervention program.

Actually she did say the lab workers are on site. As for other employees, working remotely is no indication of being vaccinated or not. The Federal Government issued remote working guidelines back before June 2020. Not just for the CDC but for most Departments. I know personally this is true with the EPA, *if* a job can be done as effectively remotely as from the office, they are not required to come to the office. It may surprise you, but productivity has seen crazy upticks.

why? Well, for one thing commute times. Housing in DC itself is crazy high ($650k+ for a two bedroom bungalow, $750k for a townhouse, as a starter). As a result MOST government employees live an hour away in Maryland or Virginia. Not commuting saves over 2 hours a day.

What actually happens is the employee ends up working MORE hours than they would if they came to the office 9-5.

Federal employees, just like the those in the private sector, have learned during this pandemic they can get more done, AND have more family time, AND be healthier working remotely. Of course you have to quickly scramble and throw on a sport coat when a Cabinet member pops into the Zoom meeting LOL. (True story)

It has nothing to do with not being vaccinated. (Virtually all are, or will be by January). The workforce, public and private, are changing how things get done. Simple as that.

The journal wasn't presenting 'data', they were presenting as to why majority of data is open to bias and prejudice (something right up your alley) and cannot be taken as 'gospel'...if you didn't get the differnce, no wonder you're happy to blindly 'follow the science' :beer:

and this is a follow on from the quote...do you honestly think the EXACT SAME flu virus comes round every year ? If you do, I sure hope you're not working in the medical field :rolleyes:................text underlined to try to help you out !!

You may be exposed to a flu virus that is not included in the seasonal flu vaccine. There are many different flu viruses that circulate every year. A flu vaccine is made to protect against the three or four flu viruses that research suggests will be most common.

"But much of the harm had been done, said Garcia. Ivermectin had given people a false sense of security against the virus, making it difficult for public health officials to later dispel unproven claims about the drug."

 

 

Ever notice on a map South America is so far east if heading south from most parts of North America a person would end up in the Pacific, not South America?

You 'forgot' the next line oh darn...


However, a large study from the UK in August did find an increased risk of stroke associated with Pfizer.

Um, the HUGE ad for support CLIMATE JOURNALISM was a BIG RED FLAG for me...sorry but Im not one that swallows the whole 'man made global warming BS either...but it figures you, Waysider and Rocky do ,

 

The article was not about climate.  I said nothing about climate.  I was thinking nothing about climate.  Climate was not alluded to.  Climate has nothing to do with COVID or the vaccine topic.  I just looked at the article again and saw no ads about climate -  maybe you saw one.

Then you're lumping all posters together like they are one person.

Unplug.  Take a vacation.  Go save a wallaby.  I hear they poop in cubes.
