Landmark Cleveland Clinic Study Finds Flu Vaccine Ineffective—And Possibly Harmful—for Working Adults in 2024-2025
Vaccinated at Higher Risk of Flu
Of the 53,402 employees analyzed, 82.1% received the flu vaccine. Yet, the cumulative incidence of influenza climbed faster in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated cohort. A total of 1,079 infections occurred—overwhelmingly, influenza A. After multivariable adjustment, the vaccinated had a 27% higher risk of influenza infection (HR 1.27, 95% CI: 1.07–1.51, P = 0.007), translating to a vaccine effectiveness of –26.9%. These results are not due to testing bias: while vaccinated individuals were more likely to get tested, their test positivity rate was nearly identical to the unvaccinated, indicating a true excess of infections.
I posted this here on May 7 and thought it was done "Went to public library to do my census and consistent with the luck I have got the long form. About 70 WOKE questions and questions that are none of their business IMHO as they don't care about real Canadians. I just filled out the number of residents as it is starred and then just kept hitting next until the end. Had a 15 minute timer and it took me 15 minutes. Could leave comments but by then out of time and patience. 🤮"
Imagine my surprise when a census worker showed up at my door yesterday because I hadn't done. She knew I had the long form and had it with her for us to complete and I told her when and where I filled out, even approximate time of day, and she asked for confirmation code so went to work trying to find. When you are rushed naturally can't find so said that I couldn't find. Found as soon as she got back to her car and showed her before she drove off. I can't hate this country enough as I know that because I only ...
