Number of flu deaths in NC this season stands at 134. Measles here not as prolific as Upstate SC. Think they have over 450 cases. One person infected 184 people at a location.

There were 542 Flu deaths in North Carolina last flu season. I recommend taking elderberry syrup. In studies it knocked 4 days off the duration of the flu.

Or go out and enjoy the outdoors and not fret about things beyond your control. Happy trapping!!!

X2. Should be fine if you’re all boosted!

I'm guessing the flu death numbers are very influenced, same as covid numbers. Lol death is tragedy, but hospital's CDC and government lying to people is pathetic. People believing them are even more pathetic.

Charles, let me let you in on a little secret.

We all gotta die sometime.

So how did one person infect 184 people with measles? Were all 184 kids of anti-vaxers..... or were they mostly illegals? Or... do the vaccines not work? Something doesn't add up there.

Well, actually you are 27% more likely to get the flu this year if you ARE "boosted". Article dated 10/9/25.

X2 on the elderberry.....I take the chewables

Interesting.... but why no date?

The only indication of any date is a comment that was posted over 3 months ago. How in the world could they have known 3 months ago how the fall flu shots would react to the winter flu strains???

Yawn.
Measles? Who cares? When I was a kid everyone got them, along with the mumps etc., not a big deal....unless you are a pharmaceutical company then it's big money.
Here's a short video comparing measles in the early 1970's and now.

It appears I did not read the first sentence slowly enough. The report was for the 24-25 flu season.

Still does not bode well for opinions on flu shots.

I am 44. Never got a flu shot and don't intend to anytime soon.

Still........ I think it may be beneficial for those over 70.......

With the way the government and pharmaceutical companies have botched most public trust and with the findings of this study I would not encourage anyone to get a flu shot.

I have never seen or heard of a negative efficacy for a "vaccine". The vaccinated people in this study had a 27% HIGHER flu infection rate than the unvaccinated.

If I were older and saw the track record for vaccines in this day and time I would take my chances. In 24/25, you would have been 27% less likely to have gotten the flu if you DID NOT get vaccinated. That's is a serious chink in the armor of vaccine efficacy. And it just seems to get worse since covid.

I find that avoiding people keeps me healthy I really detest going to the doctor’s office it’s just full of sick folks.
