REVELAC-i Network Predicts Minimal Effectiveness of 2023 Influenza Vaccine Campaign
Southern Hemisphere Data Disappointing for High Risk Groups
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
As an adult medicine physician, every year I am personally confronted with the decision on annual influenza vaccination. As a former student, intern, resident, attending physician and professor of medicine working in large medical centers, I took 40 flu-shots over the years in keeping with medical staff requirements. For this entire time, I have never taken an influenza test for viral infections. What am I or anyone getting out of annual influenza vaccination?
Fowlkes et al, published interim data from REVELAC–i Network and the results of influenza vaccination March through July, 2023, from the Southern Hemisphere are disappointing. Systematic monitoring of influenza and COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE), is conducted through the Pan American Health Organization’s Network for the Evaluation of Vaccine Effectiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean–influenza (la Red para la Evaluación de Vacunas en Latino América y–i])† el Caribe—influenza [REVELAC-i]. The overall rate of influenza vaccination among patients hospitalized for severe respiratory illnesses was 23.9%. Of those hospitalizations, 32.4% tested positive for influenza. No deaths were reported.
Because patients were not randomized, adjustment is required to calculate theoretical vaccine efficacy. As you can see, the vaccine efficacy for older adults, the high-risk group of concern, was a paltry 37.6% with the lower bound of the confidence interval at 13.1%. To recommend a vaccine clinically, I demand at least 50% vaccine efficacy, and since the point estimate is a statistical blur, I conservatively look at the lower bound of the confidence interval. None of the high risk groups met this clinical acceptance criteria to recommend influenza vaccination this year. Thus, influenza vaccination will not be recommended in my practice for this influenza season.

Thank you! I’ve had 1 flu shot and that was many years ago. I won’t take another. No C jab either. Didn’t take one. Never will.
The only flu shot I ever took . . . I came down with flu just a few days later!
And now with all the info out about the very PURPOSE of the adjuvants in the shots being to CAUSE inflammation (to trigger the immune system) they are nothing but trouble for the brain. Retired neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock claims that each subsequent shot causes brain inflammation that persists for more than a year, causing a continuous and unremitting inflammatory attack on the brain that significantly increases the risk for Alzheimer's Disease.
But with the advent of mRNA technology, the danger is immensely increased. Genetic manipulation that causes the body to churn out billions of foreign, non-human proteins will inevitable cause a devastating and perhaps indefinite attack on the body's own cells and tissue.
Recent research has revealed that 100% of mRNA/DNA viral-vectored COVID shots produce cardiac muscle damage. Those things are not, and never will be, safe for administering to humans and MUST BE STOPPED! It is a completely failed technology from its conception.
