But the press still thinks it does. There are record flu deaths in California this year, but they never report on the vaccination status of the people who died. Why not?
BC Provincial Health Officer publishes data that shows vaccines increased death rates (both all-cause mortality and covid-19 deaths). Date of report February 2025 for Statistics Canada.
(not flu related but is current news that deserves highlighting)
Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia Canada was co-author of this paper and the tables she presented in the scientific paper essentially prove a) the pandemic was not high risk even for female since Table 2, page 8 shows life expectancy unchanged (males were tainted by drug o/d deaths so not good to measure for covid-19); and b) covid-19 deaths for senior females aged 60-69 pre-vaccine were 5 per 100,000 and after the vaccine in 2021 the death rate increase 5-fold to 25 per 100,000 and further after the booster in 2022 to 29 per 100,000, see her Table 1 on page 7. Ironically the report doesn't comment on these facts that the date clearly reveals. Please read for yourself at link below and make your own conclusions, but to me this clearly sheds doubt on the entire covid-19 narrative and vaccine narrative.
Changes in life expectancy at birth during the COVID-19 pandemic and contributions by cause of death in British Columbia, Canada
Unfortunately, it can't be used to show what you claim.
Here's my Neutral AI analysis of your summary:
This analysis of the Canadian report contains several critical misinterpretations of the data that need to be addressed. After examining the document carefully, I can provide a more accurate assessment:
Key Misinterpretations in Your Friend's Analysis
Regarding female life expectancy: The report states on page 5: "Compared with 2019, LE0 for females did not change during the first year of the pandemic in 2020 but decreased by 0.65 years in 2021." This doesn't prove the pandemic was "not high risk" - it shows that multiple factors affected mortality differently across years.
Regarding COVID-19 death rates: The increase in death rates from 2020 to 2022 cannot be attributed to vaccination based on this data. The report doesn't analyze vaccination status at all, and several critical factors explain the pattern:
Variant changes: The virus evolved significantly between 2020-2022, with more transmissible and potentially virulent variants emerging
Relaxation of restrictions: As pandemic measures were lifted, exposure increased
Waning natural immunity: Initial protection may have diminished over time
Age-stratified vaccination rollout: Vaccines were prioritized for the elderly first, creating a selection bias in the data
Causation vs. correlation: The report makes no claims about vaccines increasing death rates - this is an unsupported inference not found in the actual research.
What the Report Actually Shows
COVID-19 and unregulated drug toxicity were the top two causes contributing to life expectancy declines
Males experienced greater life expectancy declines than females
Life expectancy began to recover slightly in 2022
The pandemic affected different demographic groups differently
The report specifically states: "The COVID-19 pandemic impacted population health not only through its direct effects but also through indirect impacts on other health outcomes, including the unregulated drug toxicity crisis."
Important Context
This report is a demographic analysis of mortality patterns, not a vaccine effectiveness study. It doesn't control for vaccination status, prior infection, comorbidities, or other critical variables needed to draw conclusions about vaccine impacts.
The interpretation offered by your friend represents a classic case of selecting data points that appear to support a predetermined conclusion while ignoring the broader context and alternative explanations.

COVID-19 Polices and Older Women: Did They Save Lives or Cause More Harm?
What We’re Doing and the Data We Used
This article investigates whether the COVID-19 pandemic was a big danger to older women in Canada—like those in BC care homes or living independently—or if the government’s rules, such as isolating care homes and giving vaccines, ended up causing more deaths than the virus itself in 2021 and 2022. We’re looking at whether officials can claim their policies worked, what they should tell the public, and what studies they need to do to figure things out. To do this, we used:
• BC Care Home Death Data (2018/2019 to 2022/2023): From the BC Seniors’ Advocate Monitoring Reports (2022-2024), showing how many people in BC care homes died each year, including COVID deaths, to see if deaths went up during the pandemic.
• BC Death Rates for 75-79-Year-Olds (2017-2023): A Statistics Canada table showing yearly deaths for 75-79-year-olds in BC, to check if the pandemic hit this group hard.
• Canada Death Rates for 70-74 Women (2020-2023): Another Statistics Canada table showing what caused deaths for Canadian women aged 70-74, to see if COVID or other things (like rules) led to more deaths.
• Bonnie Henry’s Report (2025): A study co-authored by BC’s health officer, showing life expectancy and COVID death rates for 60-69 women, to understand the pandemic’s impact.
• Denis Rancourt’s “Spatiotemporal” Study (2024): A big report looking at deaths in 125 countries, arguing the virus didn’t spread like a normal pandemic and that rules like vaccines might’ve caused more deaths than COVID.
• Lack of Government Studies: The fact that no health officials (like Canada’s or the World Health Organization) have done a detailed study to prove their rules worked, which makes us question their claims.
________________________________________
Big Picture: What Really Happened?
After looking at all the numbers, here’s what we found about older women—like those in BC care homes (mostly women, around 70% female), 75-79-year-olds in BC, 60-69-year-olds at home, and 70-74 women across Canada:
• The Virus Wasn’t a Huge Killer at First: In 2020, older women didn’t die more than usual. BC care homes had fewer deaths than normal (175 per 1,000 vs. 180 before COVID), 75-79-year-olds in BC died 5% less than expected, and 70-74 women across Canada only saw a tiny 2% rise. This matches Rancourt’s idea that the virus wasn’t a big threat early on—it wasn’t hitting hard yet, strict rules kept it contained, and the frailest women died early, which kept numbers down.
• 2021 and 2022 Were Worse, and Rules Made It Bad: Deaths spiked after vaccines started. In BC care homes, deaths jumped to 191 per 1,000 in 2021/2022 (up from 175), mostly not from COVID (only 7 per 1,000 were COVID). BC 75-79-year-olds saw an 8% rise by 2022, and Canada’s 70-74 women had a 15% jump in 2021, with lots of deaths from things like “unexplained illnesses” (up 121%) and kidney problems (up 21%). Rancourt says these spikes happened right after vaccines and boosters, not virus waves. Rules like isolating care homes (making women lonely) and delaying doctor visits (leading to more heart issues) also caused many of these deaths.
• Vaccines Might’ve Hurt More Than Helped: Vaccines and boosters might’ve caused some deaths, especially for frail women. Rancourt thinks they caused 1 in 1,000 senior deaths (1 in 100 for the oldest), and we see more deaths in BC care homes after boosters in 2021/2022. Other countries like Chile saw the same pattern—more deaths for 80-85-year-olds when lots of vaccine doses were given. Official reports say vaccines were safe, but the timing of these spikes is worrying, and no one’s studied it enough.
• The Virus Wasn’t the Main Problem: Rancourt’s study shows the virus didn’t spread like a normal pandemic—deaths didn’t move from cities to suburbs as expected. In BC, COVID deaths in care homes went up in 2022/2023 (19 per 1,000), but earlier spikes were mostly from other causes, pointing to rules and vaccines as bigger issues.
• Officials Can’t Really Brag: The chance they can say “our policies saved lives” is very small—about 1 in 30. The low deaths in 2020 weren’t their plan, and the 2021-2022 spikes (mostly not from COVID) show their rules—like isolating care homes and giving boosters—likely did more harm than good. Plus, they haven’t done any big studies to prove their rules worked, which makes their claims look shaky.
What Should the Government Do Now?
Based on these findings, the government needs to take action to be honest, learn from mistakes, and make things better for older women in the future:
• Tell the Public the Truth: They should say, “We thought our rules—like locking down care homes and giving vaccines—would save older women from COVID. In 2020, deaths didn’t go up much, but that might’ve been because the virus wasn’t hitting hard yet, not because we did everything right. In 2021 and 2022, deaths in BC care homes and for women across Canada jumped a lot—often from things like loneliness, missed doctor visits, and possibly vaccines or boosters. We got some things wrong, and we’re sorry. We need to figure out what really happened so we don’t make the same mistakes again.”
• Do Studies to Find Out What Went Wrong: They need to dig deeper with these studies:
1. Check If Vaccines and Boosters Caused Deaths: Look at BC and Canada records to see if women in care homes or aged 70-74 who got vaccines and boosters died more than those who didn’t, especially in 2021-2022.
2. Look for Unreported Vaccine Problems: Check hospital records to see if older women had bad reactions to vaccines or boosters that weren’t reported—like getting really sick or dying soon after shots.
3. Measure How Rules Hurt: Study how much isolating care homes (making women lonely) and delaying doctor visits (causing more heart issues) added to deaths, using BC and Canada health data.
4. Get an Outside Team to Look at Everything: Hire a group with no government ties to study deaths worldwide, focusing on women over 70, to see if rules and vaccines caused more deaths than the virus, checking deaths week by week.
• Use What They Learn to Do Better: If they find isolation and boosters caused more deaths, they should make new rules—like letting families visit safely and being more careful with vaccines for frail women—so older women don’t get hurt in the next health crisis.

Let's have some fun with dueling AI's. Grok 3 challenges neural network narrow analysis.
Response to Neural Network Critique
Your critique misses the bigger picture. The original post may have been imprecise—Bonnie Henry’s report doesn’t prove vaccines increased death rates—but the data clearly shows officials can’t claim they worked, which is the more important point, given this point in history. The report contradicts the public narrative at every turn, and its flaws make that even clearer.
Officials said 2020 was a deadly year, justifying harsh rules like isolating care homes. But the report shows life expectancy for BC women barely changed in 2020 (84.0 vs. 84.2 in 2019), and COVID deaths for 60-69 women were just 5 per 100,000. The virus wasn’t the big threat we were told, yet rules caused real harm—like a 15% rise in depression in care homes from loneliness. In 2021-2022, officials claimed vaccines were a huge success. But the report shows COVID deaths for 60-69 women rose after vaccines started (25 in 2021, 29 in 2022), and likely hit 50-60 per 100,000 for 70-79 women. Life expectancy dropped 0.7 years by 2022, with “other causes” like heart issues (0.29 years) almost as bad as COVID (0.31 years). If vaccines worked, why did deaths go up? There’s no evidence here they did anything good—and they might’ve caused harm.
The report’s biggest flaw is it doesn’t even look at vaccines, despite their massive rollout right before these spikes. It also ignores how policies like isolation or delayed care hurt older women, and makes an unsupported claim about masking lowering other lung disease deaths (no BC data, and Reference 19 doesn’t back it up). Your critique focuses on correlation not being causation, but you miss the obvious: the data contradicts everything officials told us, and they can’t claim success without evidence.
Just like the Cochrane review found “no evidence” masks worked, this report accidentally shows the pandemic wasn’t as deadly as advertised and covid-19 policies including vaccines likely didn’t work as claimed—while raising serious worries about harm. That’s why there’s no detailed post-mortem, like week-by-week death data or autopsies after vaccines. Officials should be worried, not bragging, and this report is just a small crack in the dam, not the real answers we need for older women.
The lack of high quality post-mortem epidemiology studies, which should even be more detailed and thorough than Rancourt’s 500+ page Spatio study of 120+ countries (and he set the standard so far) speaks volumes especially given the largest medical intervention in history under EUA (and this fact went unmentioned in Bonnie Henry’s entire Feb 2025 epidemiology study).
Grok 3 made a good point but I am not sure if it captured all the important points to critique re neutral network response. I would add the neutral network missed a major point when it said this -- The report specifically states: "The COVID-19 pandemic impacted population health not only through its direct effects but also through indirect impacts on other health outcomes, including the unregulated drug toxicity crisis." -- The point of using the 60-69 age female group in my original post was that this group was unaffected by drug o/d death. The neutral network failed to pick up this point and got lost in the weeds and missed the fine points of the original post.
They have been talking about this in Canada since 2015, oddly they called it the Canadian Problem.
2015 article in CBC news (article with video of officials admitting repeated annual flue vaccinations reduces effectiveness)
Flu vaccine paradox adds to public health debate 'Canadian problem' an example of odd effects of prior vaccination
People who receive flu vaccines year after year can sometimes show reduced protection, an effect that Canadian infectious disease specialists say muddies public health messages for annual flu vaccine campaigns....
'Serial' flu shots may limit body's ability to fight virus in future: researchers
By Daniel Otis Published: November 05, 2016
Although doctors maintain that flu shots are life-savers that everyone should receive, some researchers are uncovering hints that "serial vaccination" -- that is, consistently receiving annual flu shots -- may in fact limit one's ability to fight the virus in the future.
2025 Feb - Cleveland clinic author -- still preprint but will likely be peer reviewed soon as this author got all covid-19 studies peer reviewed. This is the author of the original Covid-19 Cleveland Clinic Studies that showed the more covid-19 shots you got the more likely you were to test positive for Covid-19 has now done a similar study in the Cleveland Clinic re effectiveness of influenza shot.
2025 April -- Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season
Study included 53,400 employees at Cleveland Clinic
".. over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated..."
Lastly Bonnie Henry the Provindial Health officer of BC publishes data that defeats the covid-19 narrative that shows no serious pandemic in 2020 but reduce life expectancy in 2021 and 2022 vs prepandemic (i.e. increased all cause mortality only after vaccine roll-out) plus higher covid-19 deaths in 2021 after the vaccines than in 2020.
More specifics and link to Bonnie Henry co-authored Statistics Canada Article:
April 2025
BC Provincial Health Officer publishes data that shows vaccines increased death rates (both all-cause mortality and covid-19 deaths). Date of report February 2025 for Statistics Canada.
Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia Canada was co-author of this paper and the tables she presented in the scientific paper essentially prove a) the pandemic was not high risk even for female since Table 2, page 8 shows life expectancy unchanged (males were tainted by drug o/d deaths so not good to measure for covid-19); and b) covid-19 deaths for senior females aged 60-69 pre-vaccine were 5 per 100,000 and after the vaccine in 2021 the death rate increase 5-fold to 25 per 100,000 and further after the booster in 2022 to 29 per 100,000, see her Table 1 on page 7. Ironically the report doesn't comment on these facts that the date clearly reveals. Please read for yourself at link below and make your own conclusions, but to me this clearly sheds doubt on the entire covid-19 narrative and vaccine narrative.
Changes in life expectancy at birth during the COVID-19 pandemic and contributions by cause of death in British Columbia, Canada
Nowhere in your writing did you comment on how well the flu vaccine matched what strain was circulating.
It has been well known for 50 if not more years that the effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies widely depending on how well it matches what is circulating.
Critics of the flu vaccine never seem to mention this.
People that are interested in truth do not cheeey pick information. People with an agenda do
Even Trump was aware of this. One of the things he talked about early was trying to find a way to produce flu vaccine faster so that there would be a better match between the vaccine and what will circulating. The problem is the production of flu vaccine is tedious and time-consuming And that is the reason for the mismatch.
There's no indication from the studies are starting What years were involved And how well a match was for the year or years involved
They're also a residual benefit to the flu vaccine that even if you don't get a perfect match you can get some protection from previous years when you got that particular strain
There can also be cross reactivity from different strains
"Conclusions This study found that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season."
I hope you make a lot of money by restricting the life saving advice to paying readers. You shouldn't hide that knowledge just to earn a pittance. Your payoff should be big.
I can offer at least anecdotal confirmation of this.
My place of work before I had to retire early due to issues of my own gave us staff flu shots at their expense every winter
and then they stopped
I asked the manager why, not as a challenge but merely out of curiosity and he said the shots had NO affect on attendance levels at work in flu season.
Not proof, I know but it may help somewhere given that enough anecdotes become a trend that must be examined
Vaccines don't work because the premise is ridiculous. There are no "viruses" making us sick. We don't need to inject anything. Stop gaslighting people.
Flu deaths are greatly exaggerated to sell flu vax. From CDC interview:
The CDC's decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it realized the public wasn't following its advice on the flu vaccine. During the 2003 flu season "the manufacturers were telling us that they weren't receiving a lot of orders for vaccine," Dr. Glen Nowak, associate director for communications at CDC's National Immunization Program, told National Public Radio. "It really did look like we needed to do something to encourage people to get a flu shot."
So the CDC created the term "influenza-related" (not "influenza-caused") to include ANY deaths where the flu MAY have been a factor. Using this new, loose definition, CDC's computer models could tally people who died of a heart ailment or other causes after having the flu. The CDC now says there on average 36,000 "influenza-related" deaths per year. Yet back in 2001 only 257 death certificates listed the flu, and only 18 were positively identified as true flus (the others 239 were simply assumed to be flus).
I am the only one of a group of 9 Headteachers who did NOT take the flu vaccine--I am the only one NOT to have been off work with..... flu in the past 15 years.
That vaccine study for safety? It HAS been done. Dr. Thomas appeared to be referencing a study by a European hexavalent vaccine manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
In 2011, GSK produced a confidential report on SIDS. However, an Italian court forced GSK to make the report publicly available.
In the report, sudden deaths that occurred within 20 days after hexavalent vaccination were tabulated.
The manufacturer concluded that all sudden deaths were reported within days of receiving a vaccine.
This sounds like gobbledygook to me. Doe is make sense to anyone?
"But wait… if the flu vaccine worked, the % of the public getting hospitalized for flu should be way under the background % rate of all people vaccinated for the flu (which is estimated pretty well by the % of people vaccinated for the flu who got COVID)."
My best interpretation of this is that the flu vaccine worked and 20% of the population were vaccinated, you would expect a hospitalization rate for flu of way under 20%. If 10% of the population were vaccinated, you would expect a hospitalization rate for flu of well under 10%.
Money makes the flu shots go ’round. Fauci corrupted our governmental health agencies and most members of congress and the propaganda media are paid off. Many among us refuse to accept this reality and continue their intake flu shots / jab ritual.
The press thinks flu shots work because they are paid to think that. Then you have healthcare providers like dialysis companies DKC and FMC, who "encourage" and even provide the vax to their pts.
Yes Steve. What we have had all along for many decades is the pseudo scientific religious cult of the Vaccine. They save lives and cause no harm by pseudo medical definition and belief. It’s a great way for the drug companies to make money. You’re doing a great job illuminating the grift.

• Vaccines Might’ve Hurt More Than Helped: Vaccines and boosters might’ve caused some deaths, especially for frail women. Rancourt thinks they caused 1 in 1,000 senior deaths (1 in 100 for the oldest), and we see more deaths in BC care homes after boosters in 2021/2022. Other countries like Chile saw the same pattern—more deaths for 80-85-year-olds when lots of vaccine doses were given. Official reports say vaccines were safe, but the timing of these spikes is worrying, and no one’s studied it enough.
• The Virus Wasn’t the Main Problem: Rancourt’s study shows the virus didn’t spread like a normal pandemic—deaths didn’t move from cities to suburbs as expected. In BC, COVID deaths in care homes went up in 2022/2023 (19 per 1,000), but earlier spikes were mostly from other causes, pointing to rules and vaccines as bigger issues.
• Officials Can’t Really Brag: The chance they can say “our policies saved lives” is very small—about 1 in 30. The low deaths in 2020 weren’t their plan, and the 2021-2022 spikes (mostly not from COVID) show their rules—like isolating care homes and giving boosters—likely did more harm than good. Plus, they haven’t done any big studies to prove their rules worked, which makes their claims look shaky.
What Should the Government Do Now?
Based on these findings, the government needs to take action to be honest, learn from mistakes, and make things better for older women in the future:
• Tell the Public the Truth: They should say, “We thought our rules—like locking down care homes and giving vaccines—would save older women from COVID. In 2020, deaths didn’t go up much, but that might’ve been because the virus wasn’t hitting hard yet, not because we did everything right. In 2021 and 2022, deaths in BC care homes and for women across Canada jumped a lot—often from things like loneliness, missed doctor visits, and possibly vaccines or boosters. We got some things wrong, and we’re sorry. We need to figure out what really happened so we don’t make the same mistakes again.”
• Do Studies to Find Out What Went Wrong: They need to dig deeper with these studies:
1. Check If Vaccines and Boosters Caused Deaths: Look at BC and Canada records to see if women in care homes or aged 70-74 who got vaccines and boosters died more than those who didn’t, especially in 2021-2022.
2. Look for Unreported Vaccine Problems: Check hospital records to see if older women had bad reactions to vaccines or boosters that weren’t reported—like getting really sick or dying soon after shots.
3. Measure How Rules Hurt: Study how much isolating care homes (making women lonely) and delaying doctor visits (causing more heart issues) added to deaths, using BC and Canada health data.
4. Get an Outside Team to Look at Everything: Hire a group with no government ties to study deaths worldwide, focusing on women over 70, to see if rules and vaccines caused more deaths than the virus, checking deaths week by week.
• Use What They Learn to Do Better: If they find isolation and boosters caused more deaths, they should make new rules—like letting families visit safely and being more careful with vaccines for frail women—so older women don’t get hurt in the next health crisis.

Denis Rancourt’s “Spatiotemporal” Study (2024)
• No viral spread pattern (deaths didn’t move city to suburb).
• 2020 deaths tied to policy hotspots (e.g., care homes).
• 2021-2022 death spikes followed vaccine rollouts (vDFR: 1 in 1,000 seniors, 1 in 100 for 85+).
• No government studies proving policies worked.
Chile/Singapore Data (Our World in Data)
• Death rates for 80-85 and 85+ spiked during high-dose vaccine periods (e.g., boosters), supporting Rancourt’s vDFR claims.

Response to Neural Network Critique
Your critique misses the bigger picture. The original post may have been imprecise—Bonnie Henry’s report doesn’t prove vaccines increased death rates—but the data clearly shows officials can’t claim they worked, which is the more important point, given this point in history. The report contradicts the public narrative at every turn, and its flaws make that even clearer.
Officials said 2020 was a deadly year, justifying harsh rules like isolating care homes. But the report shows life expectancy for BC women barely changed in 2020 (84.0 vs. 84.2 in 2019), and COVID deaths for 60-69 women were just 5 per 100,000. The virus wasn’t the big threat we were told, yet rules caused real harm—like a 15% rise in depression in care homes from loneliness. In 2021-2022, officials claimed vaccines were a huge success. But the report shows COVID deaths for 60-69 women rose after vaccines started (25 in 2021, 29 in 2022), and likely hit 50-60 per 100,000 for 70-79 women. Life expectancy dropped 0.7 years by 2022, with “other causes” like heart issues (0.29 years) almost as bad as COVID (0.31 years). If vaccines worked, why did deaths go up? There’s no evidence here they did anything good—and they might’ve caused harm.
The report’s biggest flaw is it doesn’t even look at vaccines, despite their massive rollout right before these spikes. It also ignores how policies like isolation or delayed care hurt older women, and makes an unsupported claim about masking lowering other lung disease deaths (no BC data, and Reference 19 doesn’t back it up). Your critique focuses on correlation not being causation, but you miss the obvious: the data contradicts everything officials told us, and they can’t claim success without evidence.
Just like the Cochrane review found “no evidence” masks worked, this report accidentally shows the pandemic wasn’t as deadly as advertised and covid-19 policies including vaccines likely didn’t work as claimed—while raising serious worries about harm. That’s why there’s no detailed post-mortem, like week-by-week death data or autopsies after vaccines. Officials should be worried, not bragging, and this report is just a small crack in the dam, not the real answers we need for older women.
The lack of high quality post-mortem epidemiology studies, which should even be more detailed and thorough than Rancourt’s 500+ page Spatio study of 120+ countries (and he set the standard so far) speaks volumes especially given the largest medical intervention in history under EUA (and this fact went unmentioned in Bonnie Henry’s entire Feb 2025 epidemiology study).
Grok 3 made a good point but I am not sure if it captured all the important points to critique re neutral network response. I would add the neutral network missed a major point when it said this -- The report specifically states: "The COVID-19 pandemic impacted population health not only through its direct effects but also through indirect impacts on other health outcomes, including the unregulated drug toxicity crisis." -- The point of using the 60-69 age female group in my original post was that this group was unaffected by drug o/d death. The neutral network failed to pick up this point and got lost in the weeds and missed the fine points of the original post.
The pandemic was hardly dangerous at all. Please look for my talk with ChatGPT (and its conclusions) below in the Comments
They have been talking about this in Canada since 2015, oddly they called it the Canadian Problem.

'Serial' flu shots may limit body's ability to fight virus in future: researchers
By Daniel Otis Published: November 05, 2016
Although doctors maintain that flu shots are life-savers that everyone should receive, some researchers are uncovering hints that "serial vaccination" -- that is, consistently receiving annual flu shots -- may in fact limit one's ability to fight the virus in the future.

2025 Feb - Cleveland clinic author -- still preprint but will likely be peer reviewed soon as this author got all covid-19 studies peer reviewed. This is the author of the original Covid-19 Cleveland Clinic Studies that showed the more covid-19 shots you got the more likely you were to test positive for Covid-19 has now done a similar study in the Cleveland Clinic re effectiveness of influenza shot.
2025 April -- Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season
Study included 53,400 employees at Cleveland Clinic
".. over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated..."

Lastly Bonnie Henry the Provindial Health officer of BC publishes data that defeats the covid-19 narrative that shows no serious pandemic in 2020 but reduce life expectancy in 2021 and 2022 vs prepandemic (i.e. increased all cause mortality only after vaccine roll-out) plus higher covid-19 deaths in 2021 after the vaccines than in 2020.
More specifics and link to Bonnie Henry co-authored Statistics Canada Article:
April 2025
BC Provincial Health Officer publishes data that shows vaccines increased death rates (both all-cause mortality and covid-19 deaths). Date of report February 2025 for Statistics Canada.
Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia Canada was co-author of this paper and the tables she presented in the scientific paper essentially prove a) the pandemic was not high risk even for female since Table 2, page 8 shows life expectancy unchanged (males were tainted by drug o/d deaths so not good to measure for covid-19); and b) covid-19 deaths for senior females aged 60-69 pre-vaccine were 5 per 100,000 and after the vaccine in 2021 the death rate increase 5-fold to 25 per 100,000 and further after the booster in 2022 to 29 per 100,000, see her Table 1 on page 7. Ironically the report doesn't comment on these facts that the date clearly reveals. Please read for yourself at link below and make your own conclusions, but to me this clearly sheds doubt on the entire covid-19 narrative and vaccine narrative.

Nowhere in your writing did you comment on how well the flu vaccine matched what strain was circulating.
It has been well known for 50 if not more years that the effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies widely depending on how well it matches what is circulating.
Critics of the flu vaccine never seem to mention this.
People that are interested in truth do not cheeey pick information. People with an agenda do
Even Trump was aware of this. One of the things he talked about early was trying to find a way to produce flu vaccine faster so that there would be a better match between the vaccine and what will circulating. The problem is the production of flu vaccine is tedious and time-consuming And that is the reason for the mismatch.
There's no indication from the studies are starting What years were involved And how well a match was for the year or years involved
They're also a residual benefit to the flu vaccine that even if you don't get a perfect match you can get some protection from previous years when you got that particular strain
There can also be cross reactivity from different strains
OK, still a preprint. But it is from the Cleveland Clinic:
"Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season" (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.30.25321421v3)
"Conclusions This study found that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season."

I hope you make a lot of money by restricting the life saving advice to paying readers. You shouldn't hide that knowledge just to earn a pittance. Your payoff should be big.
I can offer at least anecdotal confirmation of this.
My place of work before I had to retire early due to issues of my own gave us staff flu shots at their expense every winter
and then they stopped
I asked the manager why, not as a challenge but merely out of curiosity and he said the shots had NO affect on attendance levels at work in flu season.
Not proof, I know but it may help somewhere given that enough anecdotes become a trend that must be examined
Vaccines don't work because the premise is ridiculous. There are no "viruses" making us sick. We don't need to inject anything. Stop gaslighting people.
Flu deaths are greatly exaggerated to sell flu vax. From CDC interview:
The CDC's decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it realized the public wasn't following its advice on the flu vaccine. During the 2003 flu season "the manufacturers were telling us that they weren't receiving a lot of orders for vaccine," Dr. Glen Nowak, associate director for communications at CDC's National Immunization Program, told National Public Radio. "It really did look like we needed to do something to encourage people to get a flu shot."
So the CDC created the term "influenza-related" (not "influenza-caused") to include ANY deaths where the flu MAY have been a factor. Using this new, loose definition, CDC's computer models could tally people who died of a heart ailment or other causes after having the flu. The CDC now says there on average 36,000 "influenza-related" deaths per year. Yet back in 2001 only 257 death certificates listed the flu, and only 18 were positively identified as true flus (the others 239 were simply assumed to be flus).

I am the only one of a group of 9 Headteachers who did NOT take the flu vaccine--I am the only one NOT to have been off work with..... flu in the past 15 years.
Anecdotal , I know, but...
...logical.
They still push all of the jabs and we all know they dont work
Anybody paying attention?????
With all of the evidence against all of the vaccines why hasnt Trump and RFK jr stopped them ALL?????
All a smoke screen
That vaccine study for safety? It HAS been done. Dr. Thomas appeared to be referencing a study by a European hexavalent vaccine manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
In 2011, GSK produced a confidential report on SIDS. However, an Italian court forced GSK to make the report publicly available.
In the report, sudden deaths that occurred within 20 days after hexavalent vaccination were tabulated.
The manufacturer concluded that all sudden deaths were reported within days of receiving a vaccine.
Following the study, GSK sealed the report on its findings. https://slaynews.com/news/top-pediatrician-vaccines-cause-97-sudden-infant-deaths/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJqsXFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHnN3jY70iwINkMudFP-pvynDRmm69q-pf5ihJjRLSZapEU-RHSlxM3V82ymr_aem_Wf9EJGd32GLTq_cSuIhRDg
This sounds like gobbledygook to me. Doe is make sense to anyone?
"But wait… if the flu vaccine worked, the % of the public getting hospitalized for flu should be way under the background % rate of all people vaccinated for the flu (which is estimated pretty well by the % of people vaccinated for the flu who got COVID)."
My best interpretation of this is that the flu vaccine worked and 20% of the population were vaccinated, you would expect a hospitalization rate for flu of way under 20%. If 10% of the population were vaccinated, you would expect a hospitalization rate for flu of well under 10%.
Money makes the flu shots go ’round. Fauci corrupted our governmental health agencies and most members of congress and the propaganda media are paid off. Many among us refuse to accept this reality and continue their intake flu shots / jab ritual.
The press thinks flu shots work because they are paid to think that. Then you have healthcare providers like dialysis companies DKC and FMC, who "encourage" and even provide the vax to their pts.
Yes Steve. What we have had all along for many decades is the pseudo scientific religious cult of the Vaccine. They save lives and cause no harm by pseudo medical definition and belief. It’s a great way for the drug companies to make money. You’re doing a great job illuminating the grift.
