    the national flu immunisation programme will be absolutely essential to protecting vulnerable people
    and supporting the resilience of the health and care system
    Mild to severe illness

    Clinical features in children
    Fever, which may be as high as 103°F (39.4°C) to 105°F (40.5°C)
    Body aches, which may be severe
    Headache

    The convergence with influenza season could result in significant morbidity and mortality
    Patients (n = 18,868) tested for COVID-19
    4,138 flu vac, 2019-2020

    Higher BMI
    On more meds
    More co-morbidities
    Older
    Blood work
    Is someone had flu vac and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2
    Unadjusted analysis shows:
    Vaccinated individuals were less likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2
    More likely to be hospitalized
    More likely to be admitted to the ICU and die during hospitalization
    But, once adjusted
    Influenza vaccination was unrelated to incidence of SARS- CoV-2 infection
    Increased risk for worse hospital outcomes was not related to influenza vaccination
    In people with COVID-19, influenza vaccination did not impact risk for hospitalization
    Or ICU admission
    Or hospital mortality
    Overall
    Influenza vaccination does not increase the incidence of COVID-19
    or worsen the related morbidity or mortality
    Providing reassurance that the vaccination strategy for global influenza should proceed as planned during the COVID-19 pandemic
    Surveillance data needs to be prospectively collected in fall 2020
    Study the outcome of concurrent SARS-CoV-2 and influenza infection
    Assess any interaction between influenza vaccinations, a newly developed vaccine against coronavirus, influenza and COVID-19 infection
    Odds of death were 2.27 times higher than in people with SARS-CoV-2 alone

      Yeah, my GP surgery has done everything to protect themselves and don't seem to give a poop about the patients.
      I'd gone to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy to find it hadn't been sent over. Went to the GP and they had no knowledge because they'd changed their email address without bothering to notify me (or anyone) and I didn't get a bounce back. The door is cordoned off and there is a little table in the porch with all the paper forms and a pot of pens. No hand sanitizer (but that would be pointless, it would get stolen in a heartbeat -even if were bolted to the wall) but I had my own and was super conscious of what I was touching. The idea of these little paper forms and shared pens and lifting the lid to open the post box to put the forms, not very 2020 (my workplace went paperless 5 years ago). Having to shout over to the receptionist from the door, not very confidential. A staff member squeezed past me on her way in and out and there were no signs outside advising people not to all cram into the porch bit or to queue distancedly outside.

      I've never had a flu vaccine, doctors are the worst place to go for picking up coughs and colds in my opinion, seems like a risky strategy in terms of spreading covid, particularly as I suspect covid is air borne. so could be lingering in the air from other people having the flu vac.

    When I was 33 I was running 33 miles a week. I got sick on my birthday with the flu (1983.) I am now 70 and that flu was the worst sickness I have had in my life. When you said you got to the door and just laid on the floor I understand completely. I spent more time lying on the bathroom floor than in my bed. Shockingly after the worst of it I was extremely weak for several weeks. Walking a few hundred feet was exhausting. So, I have had a flu shot every year since which is 37 flu shots (not counting earlier shots in the military and a swine flu shot.)

    I have slight asthma and usually get a text or a letter saying they recommend I have the vaccine. Not heard anything anything from them yet. (I don't think I have ever had the vaccine, and I don't think I've ever had influenza..unless it was very mild).. Is it possible to have got some level of Immunity to the different strains of influenza over the years, even though the virus mutates every year? I was considering getting the flu jab this year due to the risk of covid and flu at the same time. Chest infections are usually my thing, get a bad one every winter usually,. but didn't this winter.. I started taking vitamin d in early February, so maybe related. I wouldn't like to get a bad chest infection and covid at the same time. I suppose there are always antibiotics for the chest infection if it's bacterial.

    • @annoyedaussie3942
      @annoyedaussie3942 3 года назад

      I think everyone has had some type of flu but maybe mild in most cases and everyone would have some immunity I would think. If you are in a high risk area getting the flu shot will lower your risk of having both the flu and covid at the same time.

    • @petersimmons3654
      @petersimmons3654 3 года назад

      Vitamin D is of course related, as long as you mean D3 and in sufficient quantity [2,000 IU]. GP surgeries are coping with the pandemic and if they haven't sent you a reminder perhaps they are too busy. You should check with them and arrange an appointment for the flu vaccine. As Dr John says, it may protect against Sars-Cov-2 also. As long as your D3 is sufficent in your blood you'll make antibodies.

    Currently researching reports that Fluzone High Dose Flu Shot (3 in 1) for Seniors (4 times as powerful compared to the regular flu shot) may put recipients at higher risk for a cytokine storm/immunity over-response should they contract COVID-19. Several papers on this, but none peer reviewed, so am considering at over age 70 getting the standard rather than High-Dose flu shot. In the meantime, concerned and holding off on flu shot---thoughts? I never hear this distinction discussed while governments are recommending charging ahead with flu shots, especially for the most at risk population? Trust is waning at this point, understandably!

He had a bad reaction and died. Not even an apology from staff.. oh, and no compensation. In the US you sign wavers for medical procedures upon admission.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor .

They are closer to 100% effective for the specifics strains they target. Apples and oranges.

      Here's some of the information I found about the pandemic in Sweden (apologies for anything irrelevant to your question, it's copy pasted from a document I reply often with.
      The citizens took the advice of their government and they self isolated. The Swedes generally trust their governments advice, so there was no need for shutdowns. Also, gatherings of more than 50 were prohibited.
      www.npr.org/2020/09/04/909793678/swedish-approach-to-the-pandemic-is-it-working

      corona virus adviser, scott atlas, now recommends following Sweden’s example.
      But it's no surprise that *scott atlas has no background in infectious
      diseases or epidemiology, and trump found him on Fox News.*
      Also, the virus doesn't leave a person healthy after they've been sick.
      The doctors are recording that a growing number of covid19 patients have
      lasting heart damage and dangerous inflammation. It's not just the elderly
      either (as if that should matter). During the final week of June in the
      sunbelt states, nearly half the covid19 patients were ages 18 to 49.
      You may be inclined to think this is just all a democrat hoax still,
      but Europeans agree that Sweden has done poorly, and their system of
      what countries they allow free travel of quarantine from shows this
      as Sweden is always a red or orange color on the map (meaning they
      are either not allowed at all, or they must quarantine upon arrival.

      also agree they should have done more.

      It's absolutely ridiculous to recommend a flu vaccine that is only 40% effective at best. With all these measures in use for covid, the probability of catching the flu is minimal. Australia had a 90% reduction in their numbers this season just completed for that reason.

      Now, in your rural area, like mine, the chances of getting the flu are far less admittedly, but for those who live in more populated areas, that risk is obviously massively increased.
      You may find that the flu vaccine isn't as important for you personally, but that does absolutely nothing to discredit it's importance for those who are at far far greater risk because they come into contact with hundreds more potential carriers than you will.

      The worst thing that could happen is if people feel that their general political identity should determine there willingness to accept vaccinations. I am probably more “right-wing” than anyone you know and I think that while modern medical care has many deficiencies and corruptions vaccinations represent the very best of medicine as a preventative of what would be and what once was enormous human suffering and death.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines (even with multi strain shots) usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.

      The guidelines and data analysis being used here is severely flawed and non-scientific to perpetuate an ongoing good day bad day information cycle to keep people tuned in. The only narrative that should be talked about, is the fact the pandemic is all but over and is by definition, well into what is known in epidemiology as the pathogen endemic, equilibrium phase. (viral stasis)
      Any vaccines that are being developed right now, are already dated and ineffective due to two fundamental factors, antigenic shift (mutation) and virulence dilution.
      The high case counts with low casualty numbers are a normal predictable pattern of all Corona viral outbreaks. The virus has drastically weakened virulence from T-Cell antibody immune response to massive population infection spread and saturation, to the extent it becomes, to the vast majority, nothing more than another common cold like annoyance.
      Because the SARS-COV-2 virus is now at the epidemiological low level virulence phase, all future focus should be towards (MPIE) mass population immunization by exposure, (herd immunity) from the healthy population, as rapidly as possible in order to protect the most vulnerable health population.
      This is neither a guess nor a theory, but rather verifiable, empirical, biological law. Everyone must take the time to listen to this interview with prominent top scientists, with over 3,500 virologist, epidemiologist, scientists and infectious disease experts signing onto a Sweden approach policy declaration. This many scientists signing on, is not surprising however considering it was the exact worldwide infectious disease policy that has been implemented for every pandemic for the past century.

Donors often give money to foundations instead of to the university itself, in part, because foundations have a fiduciary responsibility to represent the donor’s interest.
      Money given to a foundation can be kept private in order to protect the donor’s identity and does not become public record.22 So, it provides the perfect opportunity for industry corporations to pay for research on their behalf without receiving any public scrutiny for doing so. Likewise, Thacker noted:23
      “Researchers have documented corporate influence skewing research in food, synthetic chemicals, risk analysis, pesticides, air pollution, genetic technology, and climate change.
      Unlike medicine, these areas of science do not have the same volume of peer reviewed literature documenting corporate influence on academics, journals, regulatory bodies, and research. But these scientific disciplines have an enormous impact on public health.”
      The BMJ is among those calling for a reduction in commercial influence in health care moving toward transparency and has launched a global initiative toward that end. In a press release, BMJ’s editor-in-chief, Dr. Fiona Godlee, said:24
      “Patients and the public deserve to have evidence they can trust. Commercial influence has no place in scientific research, nor in the education and guidance of clinicians, nor in decisions about diagnosis and treatment. We hope that people around the world support our call for fundamental reforms.”
      The journal plans to add more content to the collection to further understanding of the conflict of interest between commercial Industries and medical decisions.
      They brought together experts from eight nations in medicine, law and philosophy to propose fundamental cultural changes with the intention of moving away from commercial influence. Hopefully this will prompt an emerging and widespread trend toward independence.

      You are right to instead put more trust in the information coming from universities in most cases. Although some like Prager University have a racist agenda to fulfill and therefore are intrinsically prone to making up their own "facts" to support their racist opinions. The reason being, racism is a delusion and therefore can *only* be supported by other delusions.
      For the truth, it's always far better to trust those with compassion. Because they actually care about others, they are far less inclined to have an agenda that promotes falsehoods. Whereas people who don't care about others and have a racist or political agenda are naturally far more inclined to lie and not be concerned with the potential damage they may cause.

    It seem likely the flu season in Australia was greatly minimised by the lock down and distancing of people in Australia this year particularly in the winter months. Those distancing practices included restrictions on public transport, public meetings, shopping, workplace distancing and bans on attending public sporting events as well as the emphasis on the need to sanitize. Added to that was the promotion of the flu vaccine.

      For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment.
      Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season.
      This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa.

      Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling)
      This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version.
      The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.
