Description

The CDC recommends all Americans 6 months and older get the flu vaccine annually, yet a new study from Cleveland Clinic suggests that getthing the flu shot will actually INCREASE one’s chances of contracting the flu. British nurse instructor and YouTube personality Dr. John Campbell recently described a preprint study published on MedRxiv.org that arrived at this surprising conclusion based on infection data for the 2024-2025 flu season. Specifically, Campbell points out, researchers found that among 53,402 Cleveland Clinic employees in northern Ohio, getting the influenza vaccine was associated with a 27% increase in flu infections. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the ongoing push to get Americans to take a vaccine that will actually render them MORE LIKELY to contract the very affliction the vaccine is supposed to prevent.

Note they called it, “ the FLU shot” and not “ the anti -flu shot”.

I’m in palliative home care and when my nurse asked me if I wanted the latest cv booster I said no. She said I think that’s a good answer.

Fooling around with the complicated immune system is never a good idea.

Was a nurse years ago (retired now). I NEVER took the flu shot. For the patients who wanted to take the flu shot, majority of them got the flu within 10 to 14 days after taking it. I was exposed to all of them when they came back with the flu, and I did not get the flu. Moral of story: Take care of your immune system!
