That Artangel is at a higher risk of complications has no bearing whatsoever on whether the flu jab is effective or not.
The flu jab is largely a waste of time. The peer reviewed systematic reviews prove it.
People who have it are acting for the most part, un-objectively, much like those who mess with homeopathy products. They will attribute whatever benefits they experience to those treatments and blank out all the negative experiences once they have chosen to believe.
Plenty of people who have the flu jab will still catch flu. Some won't. The numbers who do and who don't will be the same as the situation where no-one had a flu jab at all. Yet the people who DID have the jab and DIDN'T get flu will incorrectly attribute that to the flu jab, thereby reinforcing their belief and the illusion.
It's a classic psychological mental condition of selective reinforcement.
The truth here is very simple. To assess whether the flu jab is one huge scam or not all you have to do is a shed load of tests on a wide variety of people of varying conditions and circumstances. You include in those tests groups who are given placebos and you conduct all of the tests in a rigorous way according to the top industry standard testing methods which assess and minimise any possible bias.
Then you look at the results.
Cochrane did exactly this. They assessed over 2000 studies involving literally millions of people. They concluded that the flu jab is useless.
Job done.
Everything else is pure BS smoke and mirrors founded on an aggressive campaign of fear mongering which even YOU are perpetuating here on this forum !
