Pre-Covid, my GP tried to get me to take a flu shot. I asked him how much it reduced my chances of dying. He said he couldn't tell me that, but the flu shot basically had no more reported adverse events than a placebo. I said no thanks. Later I find out the flu shot isn't tested against a real placebo; the "placebo" is another vaccine. It is incredible how bad the system is.

I was still under the illusion that I would be permitted to work in nursing homes in 2020, so I said, "what the heck, I'll take the flu shot." I thought of it as worthless (strain-based), but not risky.

Later I found out that the series of flu shot I took increased the risks for COVID (I can't remember where I read it, didn't make a note of it, what's done is done). Not that I had any more horrid COVID experience than anyone else (10 days down), but now I'm thinking of vaccines like antidepressants.

Psych drugs fiddle neurotransmitters that we really have absolutely very little understanding of their cascades and interactions with the entire body.

Vaccines fiddle immunity - again, that we have all kinds of language to describe, but our ignorance surpasses our knowledge. No, thank you.

And Doc - thank you!

That is true for all vaccines. They compare against a previous version or use a cocktail of all the toxic ingredients minus the alleged attenuated virus. It's all a con.
