Not covid, but I thought it might be of use to the community: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.30.25321421v3
This is a preprint of a study on this last season's flu vaccines, finding: "the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state (HR, 1.27; 95% C.I., 1.07 – 1.51; P = 0.007), yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9% (95% C.I., −55.0 to −6.6%)."
If you have family who are still big on The Science, you may find this study useful to explain why they got flu this winter, and your general suspicion and refusal to take vaccines looks less . . . UnScientific . . . with a nice shiney new study.
I've already sent it to my aged and ill The Science trusting relative, who will no doubt forget it by next flu season, but this should end the fussing at me for this one.
24-5 flu vaccine study
