And on the subject of flu vaccination Jessica...as we know...even Anthony Fauci admits the flu vaccines are rubbish...

QUOTE

As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in

vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases.

Who knew?!

What a racket... Milking the population via defective products, causing who knows what damage.

What do we call this? Fraud?

I challenged Fauci and his cronies about this, see: The biggest crime in history...the influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine scam, 27 April 2023: https://vaccinationispolitical.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/the-biggest-crime-in-history.the-influenza-and-sars-cov-2-vaccine-scam.pdf

I suspect they are worse than rubbish. Sadly.

But seriously, how does he get away with that admission, and no consequences?

There’s massive fraud going on, taxpayers’ money being stolen for these worse than rubbish products that are pressed upon and even mandated in the community?

What is going on?

How do we bring these criminals to account?!

We differ in perspective on Anthony Fauci becasue although I think he ia an evil man - and a liar - I see him as a middle manager type.

People focus on him because he was out front and has been a public-facing official on other scams.

But I'm not sure what he would actually be prosecuted for in a manner that would put him in prison - and even if he were, I don't see that getting us super far with the bigger questions about 2020 especially (which is my main interest).

I guess I see this whole thing as more of a Global Mafia with players and private interests from various countries who are all-too-happy to see people focus on Fauci.

Meanwhile, I don't think Fauci is worried one bit. He has done what needed to be done and played his part well in the show with Rand Paul.

I’m a simple, ‘emperor’s new clothes’, type of gal, I deal with the bleedin’ obvious right there in front of me. A key person - Fauci - admits flu and Covid injections are rubbish - that’s a big deal, and should be used as a means to challenge ongoing injections with rubbish products, costing billions of dollars, and potentially causing damage.

Likewise Bill Gates, obviously a major force in pushing injections on the world - the obvious thing to question how a software billionaire has gotten away with running international vaccination policy for years.

Basically it comes back to informed consent for vaccination for me - it’s not happening, there is no valid consent. That seems like a pretty big deal to me, the medical profession’s failure in this regard, along with all the other stuff such as bumping people off under DNRs, bad treatment etc.

They must be brought to account, but it’s difficult with so many parties complicit.

I hear you - and different things are obvious to different people. For me, Gates is a bigger deal/force than Fauci, but both should be held to account and leveraged to identity and fry to the bigger fish.

Arguably, Gates declared a pandemic before the WHO did: https://www.woodhouse76.com/p/bill-gates-anachronistic-use-of-covid

Only a man with a lot of power over int'l vaccine policy would be allowed to do that (or to have a letter published in NEJM).

We agree there is no informed consent for any of this. I would extend that to COVID testing at universities like U of Illinois that gathered students saliva and kept the data to be sold to China. https://www.woodhouse76.com/p/a-concern-of-all-legislators

Then Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared the pandemic before the WHO too…

It’s obviously criminal. Unfortunately there’s no place to take these concerns & charges.

There are no institutions which have a public protection role and which remain functioning in such a role.

We also cannot tell many people about what’s been uncovered, because at media platforms are also corrupted, including imo a substantial proportion of the “alternative” media.

It’s for these reasons that I’ve been plugging away for over 4.5 years in the hope that some of those I reach are sufficiently exercised about this appalling situation that they get involved in whatever way they can.

In short, nobody is coming to save us, so we must save ourselves.

Jessica, in Australia, flu shots have been mandated for various groups of people, e.g. at the height of the Covid debacle there were flu vaccine mandates in place for people working in, and visiting, aged care homes. These may have been in place before Covid too.

I suspect people living and working in aged care homes would still be under considerable pressure to have flu shots now, and Covid shots, mandates might be issued via various employers.

The bottom line is there is still much pressure on people to have flu shots...including children...

See this recent article promoting flu shots for children in Australia: More young children need flu shots, The Medical Republic, 24 October 2024: https://www.medicalrepublic.com.au/more-young-children-need-flu-shots/111917

QUOTE

Just over a quarter of children under five were vaccinated against influenza this year, according to a large survey by the Immunisation Coalition, which is calling on GPs and government to be even more proactive in recommending the shots to parents.

END OF QUOTE

The Immunisation Coalition is a lobby group which is funded and supported by the likes of CSL Seqirus, Pfizer, moderna, GSK, Sanofi, MSD, novavax etc: https://www.immunisationcoalition.org.au/about-us/

The article concludes:

QUOTE

Twenty-nine percent said they had been exposed to vaccine misinformation – e.g. the vaccine is not or not very effective, it can give children the flu, healthy children don’t need it – and 36% said it had influenced their decision whether to vaccinate. About half said the misinformation had come via social media; all other online sources accounted for 18% while only 4% cited mainstream media.

Explicitly anti-vaxxer sentiments included that it was natural for children to get the flu and less harmful than the vaccine, that it weakens’ children’s immune systems, and that it can cause autism. Only 26% of respondents said they had been exposed to such sentiments, with the highest rate of 30% in WA.

A quarter of the parents said anti-vaxxer sentiments had influenced their decision.

END OF QUOTE

The article does not disclose the Immunisation Coalition's conflicts of interest, i.e. that it is funded by flu vaccine manufacturers.

The Immunisation Coalition also provides 'continuing education' to GPs, see: The vaccine industry sponsors vaccination education for doctors... Yes, really... The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners is in bed with the vaccine industry-sponsored Immunisation Coalition: https://elizabethhart.substack.com/p/the-vaccine-industry-sponsors-vaccination

Thanks, Elizabeth.

If you know of any flu shot mandates in Australia before 2020, let me know. China, the US, and Australia are something of a Flu Triumvirate when it comes to surveillance and shot development (which has been a focus of the WHO for awhile). The Flu Racket doesn't work without strong participation on the research-participation from a southern hemisphere country. I'm sure you're well aware of Bill Gates' Seattle Flu Project and the US-Aus collaborations within that enterprise and which pre-dated it.

It sounds like the U.S. is a much bigger purveyor of flu shots to babies and children than Australia is. CDC data on flu shot coverage in pediatric age groups is here: https://substack.com/profile/32813354-jessica-hockett/note/c-75010889?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=jjay2

As you can see, there is wide variation by state (lowest is 35% in Mississippi; highest is 75% in Mass.) It's higher in cities than in suburban and rural areas.

From memory I think flu vaccination was mandatory for workers and visitors in aged care, but can’t find any evidence for that at the moment (pre-2020).

This is interesting: http://www.acipcconference.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1640_TUE_Dr-Holly-Seale.pdf

"Severity of the 2017 influenza season- sparked the change"

“Given the significant flu season we had last year, it’s really gaining media attention and political attention… to address the issue of healthcare worker vaccination.”

No surprise there. Operation COVID began in earnest after that season.

Thanks Jessica for a detailed overview of flu shot mandates. I’ve never been mandated one but I couldn’t work for two years thanks to COVID shot mandates so I am right with you. I am convinced now that vaccines are a barbaric practice, at best a voodoo-type of medical fakery just to make money, and worst part of the ongoing deliberate maiming, killing and culling of humanity.

You are dead on about us having no idea about the cause of respiratory ailments. I’ve read a bit of the book “Can you catch a cold?” which points out that respiratory illness was not considered contagious but more related to weather conditions and the health of the individual, for a long time until the medical cartel pushed the idea of contagion.

Enjoy your Substack break.

PS a relative never took a flu shot 💉 but her husband said she should as she was getting older. Right away she had neurological problems and he had to carry her to the hospital. She lost hearing in one ear. Fortunately 5 days of hospitalization later the neurological problems abated, but the hearing loss, a decade later, is permanent.

In San Francisco flu vaccines were promoted for the elderly until the Aids “crisis”. After that there was a push in the early 1990’s to vaccinate younger adults for the flu (helped in large part I’m sure by an immense fear of a spreading germs climate that Aids created here). There was a huge outreach program in the gay neighborhood I was working in (probably funded with Aids $). My wife & I (in our 20’s) were convinced to take an HIV test (were told that while “rare” our lesbian demographic was not immune from HIV). We were also convinced to take a flu vaccine. We both immediately got sick (my wife quite violently). We became more distrustful of the medical establishment after that. I recall her reading posts from chat rooms where folks talked about their violent and lingering reactions to the flu shots.

Fast forward to 2020 and she’s working from home for the UC school system and lo and behold they announce they will institute a flu vaccine mandate for staff. Luckily we knew enough to quickly acquire her a medical exemption based on her prior history.

This is really interesting, Jen.

Thank you for this history; I had no idea flu shots were promoted in concert with/in the wake of the AIDS "crisis."

So the public health rationale was that people diagnosed with AIDS/HIV+ have compromised immune systems, ergo were more susceptible to severe outcomes from influenza (the risk of which the flu shot allegedly reduced)?

Expand full comment

I dont recall the rationale at the time although it makes sense that they would use “compromised immune system” to help their push. I think the health agencies were flooded with cash & were working every angle to keep the gravy train flowing. Aids really was a dry run fear campaign so the public here was primed to take their “health” more seriously & do what was advised. Of course the difference was, (unlike 2020), we all knew loads of gay men who died suddenly.

I didn't know "flu shots" (even though in the military since, supposedly, the late 1940s) existed until sometime in the 2000s. I never remember "flu shots", or even being asked to get "flu shots". It was sometime in the 2000s that I remember seeing "flu shot ads" and my company offering "flu shot reimbursements". I did get a flu shot, once, because I was dumb, and nothing happened one way or the other. And I thought "OK, uh,............... why even bother?"

Is anyone else with me? I don't remember "FLU SHOTS" until the 2000s. Maybe if you diligently visited your doctor's office you would be asked to get one. I didn't. Is that why?

Expand full comment

I'm not kidding. I never, never, got a flu shot and I'm about the same age as Jessica. I got my "regular vaccines" as a child and then I stopped visiting the doctor when I was a teenager. Then, a decade or more later, I was employed, and I saw "an ad". That, in my life, was the first time I saw "flu shots". (This is the very early 2000s). Supposedly they existed before then. Never heard of them before that.

Expand full comment

You are absolutely right, Jessica. For decades, flu shots have been mandated for health care personnel, the military, kids at school... Most people never made a big deal about these mandates, I believe it is because flu shots are more like "traditional" vaccines. I think a great part about (some) people resisting covid shots was because they were this new experimental RNA technology. But now with that experience, it is evident that no one should be mandated to take any substance in their body. It is irrelevant whether the vaccine works or not. The mandates are based on the fallacy that "the unvaccinated" pose a risk to others. For some reason, too many people still believe this is true.

I'm not sure any states in the U.S. mandate the flu shot for K-12 school attendance but I haven't looked into it much and defer to those who have.

I agree that the COVID shot mandates woke up many people to the fundamental issues involving the government requiring medical treatments of any kind. Heck, I would say the government would be wrong to require you to drink 3 glasses of water a day, even were such a thing enforceable.

It seems mandates are also based on the idea that people spread these things to one another, which I'm not sure is true.

In the case of Operation COVID, shot mandates were only even possible because people believed there was a sudden-spreading coronavirus that posed a risk to them and others.

Agree. When I said "kids at school" I was probably thinking of college students; I am 71, therefore almost everyone else (including those born in '76) are "kids". As I suggested before, even if someone believes that these things spread from one person to another, it still does not justify the mandates. Even if you believe that flu "spreads", you do not spread it by being unvaccinated; if anything, you spread it if you get sick. Do not mandate the vaccine; ask people to stay home if they get sick.

Anyone born before 1976 is old; anyone born in 1976 or later is young ;) (j/k)

Yep - the mandates are wrong irrespectie of efficacy, disease mechanism, or anything else

It's a question of who has authority over body and in what circumstance

Hah! Yep, Jessica. Your thinking about 1976 is the same way I think about 1953 ;-)
