NEGATIVE Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season
Thank you for reciting the above info. What you posted is entirely correct, and the author of this pre-preprint, as well as the Cleveland Clinic,k have indeed rejected and rebutted the anti-vaxer claims being made about the conclusions of the study. As usual, anti-vaxers here and elsewhere presenting misleading versions of what research actually concludes. The OP post tries to extrapolate the preprint study's findings to the vaccine's effectiveness for the general public, when in fact there's no basis for making that kind of claim. One important detail about this study is that it involved exclusively health care workers -- not the general public. Health care workers potential exposure to the flu virus and various other illnesses could well be greater that the public at large, because they're working in a setting where they're regularly in close contact with people who are ill. Fact Check: Cleveland Clinic Study Did NOT 'Reveal' That The 2024/2025 Flu Shot Increases Flu Risk -- Vaccine Ineffective, But Not Cause Of Infections Fact Check Apr 15, 2025 https://leadstories.com/assets_c/2025/04/screenshot_3495695-thumb-352xauto-3159720.jpg Authors Say No Does a draft paper by scientists at The Cleveland Clinic "reveal" that the 2024/2025 flu shot increased the risk of flu, as social media posts claim? No, that's not true: This study's finding that vaccination was "associated with" a higher risk isn't the same as showing the vaccine is what caused increased risk. The authors of the study found that vaccinated health care workers had a 27% higher incidence of flu than those who were not vaccinated.The researchers said their paper did not identify what factors caused the higher infection rate, only that the shot was relatively ineffective. ... The Cleveland Clinic study collected data on about 40,000 adult health care workers. In its draft form, the paper reports vaccinated health care workers were significantly more likely to catch the flu than the non-vaccinated. The authors' conclusion was that the shot was not very effective against flu. What they did not conclude was what factor specific to the vaccinated portion of the 40,000 made them more likely to get infected. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2025/04/fact-check-cleveland-clinic-study-did-not-find-flu-shot-increased-risk-of-adult-flu.html The U.S. CDC in February of this year reported on the effectiveness of the 2024-2025 flu vaccine in the general public, based on a sampling of selected U.S. health networks, as follows: Interim Estimates of 2024–2025 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness — Four Vaccine Effectiveness Networks, United States, October 2024–February 2025 "Among adults, VE [vaccine effectiveness] was 36% and 54% in outpatient settings (two networks) and 41% and 55% against influenza-associated hospitalization (two networks)." "Among children and adolescents, VE was 32%, 59%, and 60% in outpatient settings (three networks) and 63% and 78% against influenza-associated hospitalization (two networks)." "Influenza vaccination prevents hundreds of thousands of outpatient medical visits, tens of thousands of hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths from influenza every year." https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7406a2.htm -

Starmer’s Policy U-Turns won’t win back lost voters doubts as Leadership Pressure Mounts
The left wing press/media have turned on him. The left have turned on him. He has already lost the millionaires, the working class, the farmers, the pensioners, the greens, the small and medium sized businesses. Their large majority is built on sand and polling suggests a wipeout even bigger than the Tories last time should an election be held tomorrow. The only growth is in the number of illegal immigrants arriving and the amount spent on benefits for foreign nationals (which has now reached £1bn per month). GDP per capita continues to decline which means everyone is getting poorer no matter what kind of minuscule GDP growth there is. The real question is why on earth would a foreign power make the effort to do something that would oust such a weak, incompetent PM that weakens and diminishes the UK each day he is in office? If an enemy is shooting themselves in the foot on such a regular basis then the opponent wouldn't take their gun away. So the smart money would be on these rent boys that committed arson being known to him in a personal capacity. -

Things you like about Thailand
Can you point to any thread or statement where it is shown that I have lied or misled? You won't be able to do it, because it's not a part of my character. Your 'assessment' is just your own bitter unhappiness, reflected back to you. I just tell the truth. That is enough to overwhelm the liars, exaggerators and worse that crawl around here, demonstrating their disgusting lack of good manners and despicable behaviour.
