What has vaccine technology done to humanity?

Post by golly »

According to The Effect of Influenza Vaccination for the Elderly on Hospitalization and Mortality: An Observational Study With a Regression Discontinuity Design (Michael L Anderson, Carlos Dobkin, Devon Gorry in Annals of Internal Medicine. 2020 Apr 7;172(7):445-452. doi: 10.7326/M19-3075. Epub 2020 Mar 3., retrieved from the National Library of Medicine site just now: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32120383/)
Setting: England and Wales.

Participants: Adults aged 55 to 75 years residing in the study area during 2000 to 2014.

Intervention: Seasonal influenza vaccine.

Measurements: Hospitalization and mortality rates by month of age.

Results: The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination. However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons. The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.

Limitation: The study relied on observational data, and its focus was limited to individuals near age 65 years.
In short, flu vaccines did nothing to reduce bad infection severity or even mortality in the elderly. This adds to the mounting evidence that the push of "vaccine technology" on the population is often merely commercial "quack medicine" or "snake oil", or is implemented for other reasons (such as getting people used to a culture of bodily invasion).
