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.
I agree completely, Faith, & also follow Dr. Blaylock. Having two friends that developed pancreatic cancer in 2022, I read Dr. Blaylock's book, "Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients", hoping I could pass along some useful information to them. Sadly, one of those friends died 12-days ago. The other friend is still hanging in there. Unsurprisingly, they were both jabbed. I also subscribe to Dr. Blaylock's monthly newsletter. There is a Q&A section where someone recently asked about the shingles vaccine. He did not recommend it & knew of many cases where those vaccinated got shingles anyway. In fact, he did not recommend ANY vaccines. I am following Dr. Blaylock's advise.
You are a good friend. I am about to lose my sister in law to turbo cancer. I suggested she try fenbendazole however she opted for stem cell treatment instead. She went 100% with mainstream medical.
I am very sorry to learn about your sister-in-law, Fred. Many have seen much success with fenbendazole. The one friend who is still hanging in there, has been on fenbendazole for the past 4-months. Her cancer had traveled to her liver. It is a rare, aggressive cancer. She has also been on chemo for many months. A recent scan showed that some of the tumors had shrunk, which chemo will do. However, some of the tumors had disappeared completely, which I attribute to the fenbendazole. However, one of her liver enzymes (ALP) has risen quite a bit, which may be from the fenbendazole, based on a recent substack article by Dr. Colleen Huber. After reading the article, she decided to discontinue the fenbendazole until her next blood work, to see if the ALP comes down. I spend most of my time trying to help her beat this awful disease, by reading & researching as much as I can. Here is Dr. Huber's recent article about fenbendazole & liver enzymes...https://colleenhuber.substack.com/p/street-meds-for-cancer-repairing
I read a story a couple of years ago about a man who had a terminal illness. After the diagnosis he spent all his free time going to medical libraries looking for information on his illness and a cure. It took him over a year but he finally found the cure in an obscure medical journal. He managed to beat the disease.
You never know if the answer is just around the corner unless you look. Good luck helping your friend back to good health.
I will relate a personal story of mine. I got Trigeminal Neuragia a few years ago and my dentist said it wasn't to do with my teeth and my doctor after an MRI scan offered me surgery or live with it. (She is very capable with most of my care but this one beat her). So I resorted to the internet and found the answer in 5 minutes (I had my suspicions). It was food triggers. So I cut my caffeine intake in half and switched from fresh oranges to apples and the problem went away. The moral of my story is don't rely on the medical field to find all the answers to your health. Sometimes we must do our own research as you are doing. As one coroner said, lamenting a cutback to his budget, (in a Macleans Magazine) "in 75% of autopsies we find what killed the patient was preventable if we had only known what we now know."
I am not at all surprised to learn about the success you had treating your trigeminal neuralgia by modifying your diet, Fred. Yesterday, I watched the livestream "2023 Florida Summit on Covid: Food, Family, & Medical Freedom". It was an all-day event. One of the speakers was a former orthopedic surgeon, Shawn Baker, MD. He said that when some of his patients modified their diets, they no longer required the joint replacement surgery they had scheduled. When Dr. Baker suggested to the hospital administrators they they have "Life Style Counseling" for patients, hoping that some could avoid these surgeries, the hospital was completely against it. Of course they were. It would be bad for business. The takeaway is: do your own research. More often than not, you will be able to improve upon your medical problem. I say this as a retired RN.
Fred, I agree with your comment, and would only add that rather than sometimes doing our own research, I think it’s wise to do it all the time. As adults, we should take full responsibility for our health, and partner with (not acquiesce to) the medical professionals we consult. After all, WE are the ones occupying our bodies for a lifetime and as such, in theory, no one is better positioned to take care of us, than us.
Neighbor (acquaintance not friend) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer December 2022, dead January 2023. Don’t know jab status but would say highly likely.
Does anyone know with certainty if this year's flu shot is or is not mRNA-based? My dilemma is that my DiL, who just gave birth to my first grandchild, is a pediatrician in a deep blue city. She is requiring anyone visiting the baby within its first 2 months to be vaccinated for pertussis (TDaP), the flu, RSV and, if not a covid booster, then a negative covid test. I would be reluctant but willing to get the flu shot if it is based on an earlier technology, but I will absolutely NOT get it if there is any possibility it is an mRNA vaccine. (I know they were working on it, but have read that it wasn't ready for this season... however, can I trust that info??)
Regardless, it may be moot, because the RSV shot is probably mRNA-based and thus a deal-breaker.
This year’s flu shot is not mRNA based but I expect that next year’s will be. I don’t believe the RSV vaccine is mRNA based but it was developed using cell cultures derived from the harvested kidneys of a healthy aborted baby from the 1970s. It is also unnecessary since it affects only a tiny population of the US population. The COVID shot is an absolute no for me because of both reasons. I also have some concerns about shedding of the spike protein and modified mRNA from these COVID jabs by people who have received them. That pediatrician is dangerous and I would try to find another pediatrician.
I also agree with your comment on RSV prevalence (I have career experience in it), and find it quite extraordinary how it is being successfully positioned to one segment of the population as the next thing to fear, even for healthy term infants. My DiL is very worried about the severity of this season's respiratory viruses; she works in a hospital setting and reports having to do hundreds of invasive procedures to treat otherwise healthy infants, and so she is just trying to protect her newborn from needing same. They feel that asking us to take the flu shot is a reasonable request (thankfully they are now not insisting on the RSV shot or covid booster, because the mRNA technology is where I draw the line), and won't let us meet the baby through the entire 'flu season' without it. I certainly feel backed into a corner and am ready to give in to the flu shot. Lord knows I have a lot worse that has been injected into me (I took the initial Pfizer covid series).
If they are really suddenly seeing an increase in RSV (or other respiratory viruses) in otherwise healthy infants, they will of course not think to attribute it potentially to all the covid injections (to the moms before/during pregnancy, and now to infants) that are most certainly weakening the babies' immune systems...
Laurie, I feel for you being in that position, but my takeaway from Dr. McCullough's article above is that the efficacy is not even enough to be beneficial. I read that as: it is not effective. So benefit does not outweigh risk. I wish your DIL would not put you in that position. Best wishes on seeing your grandbaby!
Oh gosh Laurie. So sorry about the DIL vax demands to see your first grand. This sounds awful...but maybe lie? Or wait till mama calms down? Please do not get another covid. I too am grandmother and covid jab gave me myocarditis with permanent damage. RSV is unnecessary. Flu is useless. Tdap issue will go away if you wait a few months ( or pleasantly lie). Good luck
There are over 1000 viruses that cause influenza like illness. What is often thought to be influenza is often a different influenza like illness. The flu shots do not contain influenza virus so they cannot cause the flu. I suspect that the influenza like illness you developed after your flu shot was actually an inflammatory reaction to your shot. Indeed, the adjuvant added to the shots meant for people age 65 and older to boost the immune response to the vaccine can, indeed, be intense. At the least, the adjuvant can cause increased injection site reactions of pain, redness, swelling and stiff neck. And, as this study suggests, the vaccine has little effectiveness in preventing the flu. You are correct about the harms of these gene therapies and the results of PET scans showing nearly everyone who has received a COVID jab has a metabolic alteration of their heart muscle. And rat heart muscle cells show damage to their conduction system of ion channels. Unfortunately, the world governments have too much money invested in these jabs and I wonder if anyone will ever be held accountable for their lies and the harm that they have done.
Anderson et al. 2020 https://sci-hub.se/10.7326/M19-3075 report that in England and Wales, between 2003 and 2012, the average rate of flu vaccination at 64 years of age was 27% and at 66 years (due to government promotions) was 57%. If these vaccines were effective at reducing severity of influenza infection, as the researchers expected to be the case, then there would have been a clearly discernible reduction in the rates of hospitalisation and of death for influenza and for respiratory diseases in general which correlated with 30% more people at 66 years being vaccinated, with respect to 64 years.
No such relationship was found. This is clear evidence that for this group of people - considered to be at high risk for influenza severe outcomes - the vaccination programme had no effect whatsoever. Maybe it reduced severity in people who were not close to needing to be hospitalised. Maybe its use, in general, reduced transmission, so for instance children and younger adults being vaccinated might have reduced the overall rate of infection in older adults.
However, this very powerful research technique, which has no confounders, showed no detectable benefits regarding hospitalisation and death - the rates rose consistently with age, without any drop around age 65.
Since we have been systematically lied to over the years about the effectiveness of influenza vaccines - probably the least controversial of all vaccines, and the most widely accepted - why should we accept, without careful analysis, *anything* the so called experts tell us about vaccines. There is so much money and professional prestige involved - and far too many people have unreasonable hope and faith that the little injection will magically protect them from whatever disease it is supposed to work against.
As with COVID-19, sepsis, cancer, Kawasaki disease, MIS-C and most or all forms of age-related neurodegeneration (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies) by far the most important protective intervention is to supplement vitamin D3 in sufficient quantities to raise circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels to at least the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L level the immune system needs to work properly. With little or not vitamin D3 supplementation (including the very low amounts governments recommend) most people who have not had recent UV-B skin exposure on ideally white skin have only 1/10th to 1/2 of the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D their immune systems need to work properly. Please read the research articles cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ .
For 70 kg (154 lb) body weight, without obesity, 0.125 mg vitamin D3 a day, on average, is sufficient. This is "5000 IUs" per day. This sounds like a lot, but it is a gram every 22 years, and pharma grade vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram.
You are so very correct in what you write about vit D. And thanks for taking the one to list your citations. Also, and I don’t have the citation in front of me, flu shots actually increase the risk of contacting other respiratory infections.
One of the lessons from COVID-19 was that many older people die from the flu vaccine on day one. It was a shocking statistic. Never again for me, all of them. I didn't take any of the COVID-19 jabs, but it goes way past that. I'm 61 and in all those years, two flu vaccines decades ago. Never again.
I’m 68 and have never taken a flu vax. It’s never been offered, to my recollection, and I would’ve declined had it been. It seems to me that “this year’s” flu vax is always essentially a crapshoot as to whether it targets “this year’s” variant. In any event, my approach has always been to shore up my own immune system and say no to potentially toxic concoctions delivered by injection!
For your Sunday humour: At my last medical checkup I asked my doc for an antibodies test which she declined (it is only given on a doctors script here). She did however offer me a covid shot, a shingles shot, a pneumonia shot and a flu shot. I replied no, no, no and no.
I too am 68 and a friend recently reminded me that after 65 there are 3 stages in life: GO GO, SLOW GO and NO GO. He was urging me to finish some of my unfinished projects before my body gives out. Luckily for the moment I am still in the GO GO stage. I think the vitamins and suppliments helped.
Your friend is very wise, and I can personally relate to his advice. I took a swan dive off my front steps a week ago setting out to walk my dog, fractured my right heel (a “minor” break, thankfully), and instantly went from a GO GO to a NO GO, now focused on embracing SLOW GO!! Once I’m back on both feet, I’m pretty sure I’ll have both newfound respect for the advantages of full mobility, and a new sense of urgency around preserving that mobility and getting to those unfinished projects that require it.
Once we reach retirement age it is okay to live gracefully. To many men knock themselves off doing things that were easy in their youth but require careful consideration and planning in their advanced years.
Dr. McCullough ... please know that every time you innovate like this, distancing yourself from harmful mainstream medical practices, you give us hope. ❤️
I am not a doctor, but considering that the ‘recipe’ for the current flu shot would be based on past mutations, would not deal with the current, unknown mutation, I would find the ‘efficiency’ of the flu vaccine suspect, at best. How did any of us survive, 50 or 60+ years ago, after the advent of antibiotics, when we were told to stay warm, drink plenty of fluids, etc. As many here have indicated, I took one flu shot years ago, got a horrid flu response, and never took one again. Frankly, I say the same for the ‘pneumonia’ vaccine. Vaccines and. I have parted ways. Forever.
I’ve never taken a flu shot, and I’ve never had the flu. The only people that I know that get the flu every year are those that religiously get the flu shot.
It might be interesting to know the rate of uptake of flu vax by the cachement populations of the hospitals studied in REVELAC. If overall flu vax uptake last Spring tracked with covid jabs it may have been significantly lower than 23.9% thus suggesting the vax increased the likelihood of hospitalization among vaccinated.
I encourage my patients to look at what works. Immunization that follows the natural exposures work—notably the varicella and oral polio. Immunity is long lasting. Our immune system is set up to handle outside threats and the upper airway and GI tract are technically external. If you choose this option make sure you airway defenses are optimally wet; that means breathing air with relative humidity at least 50% (see Arundel’s chart PMCID 1474709) or use a nasal spray with a sugar alcohol at least four times a day.
I’ve had the flu shot 3-4 times, last time in ‘08. The last two times (‘05 and ‘08) I got it because my wife was undergoing cancer surgeries. Got the flu both times (big help for her - NOT!). I don’t know if it was ineffective or an adjuvant hammered my immune system leaving me vulnerable. No more vax or jabs.
Even the CDC, yrs ago, on the public pages they used to publish,admitted, the flu vaccines' average efficacy is about 15-20%. Not worth the cost, if you ask me, but then, I'm just an old, hospital school trained RN, now retired.
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!

Do not get any shots. No one needs any shots. That’s why you have a God given immune system.

How did any of us survive, 50 or 60+ years ago, after the advent of antibiotics, when we were told to stay warm, drink plenty of fluids, etc. As many here have indicated, I took one flu shot years ago, got a horrid flu response, and never took one again. Frankly, I say the same for the ‘pneumonia’ vaccine. Vaccines and. I have parted ways. Forever.
The courageous few are speaking up.
The cowardly, bought-off herd, individuals and associations, grovel along on for their Pharma paymasters.
Yes indeed. Dr. McC is truly a bright light in what we’ve discovered is a very shadowy profession.
I’ve never taken a flu shot, and I’ve never had the flu. The only people that I know that get the flu every year are those that religiously get the flu shot.
It might be interesting to know the rate of uptake of flu vax by the cachement populations of the hospitals studied in REVELAC. If overall flu vax uptake last Spring tracked with covid jabs it may have been significantly lower than 23.9% thus suggesting the vax increased the likelihood of hospitalization among vaccinated.
I encourage my patients to look at what works. Immunization that follows the natural exposures work—notably the varicella and oral polio. Immunity is long lasting. Our immune system is set up to handle outside threats and the upper airway and GI tract are technically external. If you choose this option make sure you airway defenses are optimally wet; that means breathing air with relative humidity at least 50% (see Arundel’s chart PMCID 1474709) or use a nasal spray with a sugar alcohol at least four times a day.
I’ve had the flu shot 3-4 times, last time in ‘08. The last two times (‘05 and ‘08) I got it because my wife was undergoing cancer surgeries. Got the flu both times (big help for her - NOT!). I don’t know if it was ineffective or an adjuvant hammered my immune system leaving me vulnerable. No more vax or jabs.
And don’t forget about the increased risk of stroke in those who have taken the COVID shot and flu shot together!
Has the lower bound ever met the 50 percent criteria?
I never had flu shot and never will. But I take steps to strengthen my immune system.
Even the CDC, yrs ago, on the public pages they used to publish,admitted, the flu vaccines' average efficacy is about 15-20%. Not worth the cost, if you ask me, but then, I'm just an old, hospital school trained RN, now retired.
