And many years before that as well.

As a health professional there is some bias in promoting medicine. It's the industry one works in and if you were to go around stating some type of treatment was ineffective, patients would no longer seek that specific treatment. Don't get me wrong, I am not against vaccines as a whole, however, if a flu vaccine works half the time and they cannot develop them fast enough to treat the current strand, what's the point in getting it? To support Merek, which in turn supports your industry?

As a health professional, I would assume you would have access to the package inserts, but here is a link anyway.
Influenza Disease and Vaccines - National Vaccine Information Center

It states the effiacy rate of 60-69 percent for the overall population and as low as 13.8 percent for those over 50 years of age. This is for the quadrivalent vaccine.

We also have a specialized knowledge base. Sort of like engineers know engineering. You don't see thread after thread here on CD telling engineers how to build bridges, or whatever.

NVIC is an anit-immunization organization with zero credibility. I have seen no stats from any professional source about the efficacy of this year's vaccine. Last year's vax was not as effective as some have been.

Aluminum injections desensitize you to cognizance of contrail alumination.

It is the gullibility mineral.

"It’s gotten so bad that I understand that in the underside of the driver’s side wheel well, workers are affixing a small aluminum plate with the VIN and the word “gullible” stamped under it. They know the car will never work."

I posted the link because it gives direct access to the pharmaceutical insert for the vaccines.

Just because you are a health professional does not mean that you are all knowing in your field. Just take a look at the insert for this year's quadrivalent vaccine.

Kind of like the "fact" that the sun revolves around the earth?

I think it's a horrible mandate, especially considering the vaccines are, for the most part, not effective on the newest strand going around.
The newest "strand." Clearly you are qualified to speak on vaccines.

Uh-huh.

Vaccines do more harm than help. The efficacy is less than 1.5% a statistical 0.
