Interesting article about how flu vaccines seem to weaken our immune response to other viruses. While the article doesn't mention Covid19 vaccine studies the implications are there. This has been the concern of American Frontline Doctors.

"Influenza Vaccination Linked to Higher COVID Death Rates"
E T

quote:

Vaccines can in some cases trigger more serious illness when exposed to an unrelated virus, via a process known as virus interference.

A question that has lingered since the 2009 mass vaccination campaign against pandemic H1N1 swine flu is whether seasonal influenza vaccination might make pandemic infections worse or more prevalent. That concern has come into sharp focus as studies raise questions about vaccine rollouts for COVID-19 and research points to the potential of problematic viral interference.


quote:

Unfortunately, research has found that vaccines may produce a counterproductive type of viral interference that makes people more, rather than less susceptible to viruses besides the one they are being vaccinated against.


quote:

“We show that human rhinovirus triggers an interferon response that blocks SARS-CoV-2 replication. Mathematical simulations show that this virus–virus interaction is likely to have a population-wide effect as an increasing prevalence of rhinovirus will reduce the number of new COVID-19 cases.”

I watched a video the other day and it explained the COVID vaccine like this... It basically programs your body to look for and fight COVID-19, and the immune system kind of becomes preoccupied with COVID and not as capable as it pertains to other viruses.

No idea if there’s any truth to it, just some video I watched.

I am not anti-vax. I always get the flu shot and got the 2 Moderna COVID shots.

Didn’t read.

It does correlate with high rates of infection in nursing homes, prisons and, anecdotally, missionaries. All those groups have very high rates of flu shot utilization - approaching 100%.

Obviously, this is intriguing, but would need a little more analysis - how to control for other factors. What if the cohort who receive flu shots are also those at risk of death/serious complications from COVID?

Correlation doesn't necessarily equate to causation, but certainly deserves exploration. Obviously, giving folks better information about their risk profile should be the goal.

The article says you should get infection with rhinovirus as it protects against COVID and that’s why you shouldn’t get the flu shot.

Real big brain assertion here.

May make since as they are both a form of coronavirus.

There’s a Navy study out from a decade ago that showed higher rates of coronaviruses with a flu shot. It wasn’t a primary endpoint of the study or anything. But seems interesting.

That's not really what it says.

The first paper they reference is an investigation into the effect of rhinovirus on covid infection with the knowledge that rhinovirus has a negative interaction with influenza. They found it has the same negative interaction with covid.

But then the article segues into flu vaccines and an entirely unrelated avenue of reasoning where a researcher found a positive correlation between IVR and covid deaths. It still doesn't go so far as to say the flu shot was a factor in the deaths though.

What? Rhinovirus, Influenza, and Coronavirus are all RNA viruses but they belong to different virus families.

I want to say that there is evidence that a rhinovirus epidemic helped slow down Swine Flu in 2009.

That’s the “viral interference” phenomenon comes into play.

Wasn’t there one that came out in 2019 or 2020 about this? Or was it that old study making the rounds at the beginning of this?

It’s close enough for government work.

The point is they’re trying to extrapolate unrelated things to the extent their conclusion is several degrees of separation away from their evidence.
