I recently put up an article claiming that 85% of the infant mortality occurred among unvaccinated this flu season. This article claims that normally only around 50% of children get vaccinated for the flu. This
season seems to have had record infant mortality, and in a year where
the current vaccine missed the strain causing over 80% of the
infections, only 15% of the mortality came from the vaccinated. So if
only 50% of the kids were vaccinated it means that the deficient vaccine
was still effective enough to save many lives. Mortality has been five
and a half times higher among unvaccinated this season (if 50% of the
kids were vaccinated as in a normal year).

The study cited in the article above is going by decreased mortality and hospitalizations due to flu vaccination in the past.

Repeat news about late stage trial of Moderna mRNA flu vaccine being
more effective than last years flu vaccine. That data was just coming
out when Kennedy canceled the mRNA flu vaccine project, and NBC is just getting around to noting the news released by the FDA. Last years
vaccine missed one of the major viruses that was infecting people last
flu season. The virus that was missed accounted for around 50% of the infections. This flu season the vaccine missed the virus that accounts
for 80% of the infections, but it still seems to reduce mortality, and hospitalizations among vaccinated. The news article notes that an mRNA vaccine can be made to match the virus infecting people. mRNA vaccines
do not have to be grown up and processed like the current vaccine
strains, but can be designed to match specific viral sequences.

The research was canceled, but the vaccine was so effective that Moderna
wants to apply for certification. It would be nice to have a vaccine
that matched the virus infecting people instead of guessing and being
wrong so often.

You can't have an intelligent health care strategy under the current
regime. Dunno why I feel I have to point this out.
