reporting in his stack that 'the massive effort on flu vaccination in the general population is a waste of time and effort; the frail and elderly get no overal reduction death, hospitalization
Key finding:
‘study identified moderate vaccine effectiveness in preventing the incidence of influenza in the Japanese elderly. Vaccine effectiveness showed a trend of gradual attenuation. Clinicians should suspect influenza infection even in those vaccinated, especially in elderly individuals who had received vaccination more than 4 or 5 months previously.’
McCullough’s conclusion:
‘These data suggest the massive effort on vaccination in the general population is a waste of time and effort. If the frail and elderly get no overall direct reduction in hospitalization and death, influenza vaccination should be individualized based on pulmonary and systemic risks.’

studied individuals who were aged 65 years or older at baseline and were followed up between April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2020.
Results
identified an analysis population of 83,146 individuals, of which 7,401 (8.9%) had experienced influenza and 270 (0.32%) underwent influenza-related hospitalization.
Individuals who were vaccinated during the first season (n = 47,338) were older than non-vaccinated individuals (n = 35,808) (average age, 75.8 vs. 74.1 years, respectively). The multivariable analysis showed a lower incidence of influenza in vaccinated individuals (hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43–0.51; P < 0.001), while the incidence of hospitalization for influenza did not differ significantly by vaccination status (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.53–1.18; P = 0.249)…
Conclusions
study identified moderate vaccine effectiveness in preventing the incidence of influenza in the Japanese elderly. Vaccine effectiveness showed a trend of gradual attenuation. Clinicians should suspect influenza infection even in those vaccinated, especially in elderly individuals who had received vaccination more than 4 or 5 months previously.’

Excellent scholarship and substack by Peter McCullough covering the key influenza shot issues:

In 2018 our fatal Fauci proclaimed that 80 thousand Americans died from the flu even though half the population at about 160,000,000 accepted the flu injection! Then the CDC back tracked and said less than 59,000 died. In other words, they realized the flu vaccine didn’t do diddly!
Never in the history of Big Pharma have they stopped selling a vaccine because it didn't work or wasn't the appropriate Public Health measure. Now, there are some notable exceptions, the NHS will not routinely give the C Pox vaccine in the UK because it shifts a relatively benign childhood disease into an older population where it is not so benign - but that is only in the UK, not the USA. Sometimes a vaccine will get pulled (temporarily) if it is causing untoward side effects such as the Rotavirus vaccine, but that ended with COVID where no one was allowed to report side-effects (no one being healthcare workers)
