Video: Where is the Proof of Efficacy for the Flu Vaccine?
Where is the proof of efficacy for the flu vaccine? Explain to me how we can be having 30M cases of flu every year if the vaccines are working and creating herd immunity? Is that a success? Is there a recent large double-blind placebo controlled RCT showing flu vaccine efficacy?
This paper in 1999 says "Context: Data are limited and conflicting regarding the effectiveness of influenza vaccine in health care professionals." So basically, it means they gave >50 years worth of shots without ever knowing whether it works or not for healthcare professionals. Impressive.
And the p-values in this small study were hardly convincing: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10078487/ So where is the data???
The ‘proof of efficacy’ of the flu vaccine is likely also based on this statistical illusion.
