Study by Fowlkes et al. shows that Influenza vaccine 2023 efficacy for older adults (highest-risk group) was very low 37.6% (95% CI 13.1% to 55.2%); Peter McCullough says it is so low that he cannot
recommend it clinically, demanding at least a 50% vaccine efficacy. McCullough says influenza vaccination will not be recommended in his practice for this 2023 influenza season.

‘As an adult medicine physician, every year I am personally confronted with the decision on annual influenza vaccination. As a former student, intern, resident, attending physician and professor of medicine working in large medical centers, I took 40 flu-shots over the years in keeping with medical staff requirements. For this entire time, I have never taken an influenza test for viral infections. What am I or anyone getting out of annual influenza vaccination?
Fowlkes et al, published interim data from REVELAC–i Network and the results of influenza vaccination March through July, 2023, from the Southern Hemisphere are disappointing. Systematic monitoring of influenza and COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE), is conducted through the Pan American Health Organization’s Network for the Evaluation of Vaccine Effectiveness in Latin America and the Caribbean–influenza (la Red para la Evaluación de Vacunas en Latino América y–i])†el Caribe—influenza [REVELAC-i]. The overall rate of influenza vaccination among patients hospitalized for severe respiratory illnesses was 23.9%. Of those hospitalizations, 32.4% tested positive for influenza. No deaths were reported.
Because patients were not randomized, adjustment is required to calculate theoretical vaccine efficacy. As you can see, the vaccine efficacy for older adults, the high-risk group of concern, was a paltry 37.6% with the lower bound of the confidence interval at 13.1%. To recommend a vaccine clinically, I demand at least 50% vaccine efficacy, and since the point estimate is a statistical blur, I conservatively look at the lower bound of the confidence interval. None of the high risk groups met this clinical acceptance criteria to recommend influenza vaccination this year. Thus, influenza vaccination will not be recommended in my practice for this influenza season.’
It’s amazing how polite Dr McC continues to be , soft stepping around the minimal efficacy of the various toxxines.
I will not recommend … instead of - go somewhere else if you want to self harm !
Dr Yeadon (Uk) analysed 30 years of flu vaccine data on the English system and found it made no difference in rates of illness or death. The biggest guest problem with flu vaccines is that they contain thiermosol- this breaks down to methyl mercury and Ethel mercury. Methyl mercury is excreted free m the body but ethyl mercury crosses the blood brain barrier and is probably not be of the causes for f dementia. Also this year they intend to combine it with a COVID shot. Do not comply. On a personal level I had one shot of Pfizer, and ended up with a cardiac injury. Six months later, and because I’m elderly I was persuaded to have the flu shot- same as the year before. I ended up with hypertension, something I’d never ever had.
