Might Flu Shots Increase COVID-19 Pandemic Risk? Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
In the H1N1 pandemic it did, with those receiving the vaccine ending up 1.4 to 2.5 times more likely to get infected. Could a ‘perfect storm’ be brewing under the guise of protecting you? Please do not fall into this trap.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- People who received the trivalent influenza vaccine during the 2008-2009 flu season were between 1.4 and 2.5 times more likely to get infected with pandemic H1N1 in the spring and summer of 2009 than those who did not get the seasonal flu vaccine
- A double-blind, placebo-controlled study on ferrets confirmed the results, showing the seasonal influenza vaccine did worsen symptoms after subsequent exposure to the H1N1 virus
- A 2011 study found the seasonal flu vaccine may weaken children’s immune systems and increase their chances of getting sick from influenza viruses not included in the vaccine
- In a 2012 study, children receiving inactivated influenza vaccines had a 4.4 times higher relative risk of contracting noninfluenza respiratory virus infections in the nine months following their inoculation
- A 2020 study found people were 36% more likely to get some form of coronavirus infection if they had been vaccinated against influenza

FDA Warns White House Recommendation to Get COVID-19 Booster and Flu Shot At the Same Time May Increase Risk of a Stroke By Jim Hoft
February 2, 2023 at 7:15am – After three years of the pandemic, looks like the “conspiracy theorists” and “anti-vaxxers” were right again.
Last week, a small official study reveals that receiving both the flu shot and Pfizer’s Covid bivalent booster at the same time may increase the risk of stroke.
On December 2022, FDA admitted that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine had been linked to blood clotting in older individuals based on the results of one of the largest studies of elderly persons aged 65 years and above.
On January 2023, CDC and FDA announced that it is going to investigate the link between Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 booster and ischemic strokes in people aged 65 and older.
“Following the availability and use of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines, CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a near real-time surveillance system, met the statistical criteria to prompt additional investigation into whether there was a safety concern for ischemic stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent,” CDC said in a statement.
“Rapid-response investigation of the signal in the VSD raised a question of whether people 65 and older who have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent were more likely to have an ischemic stroke in the 21 days following vaccination compared with days 22-44 following vaccination,” CDC continued.
Big pharma Pfizer denied these allegations and claimed there is no evidence linking strokes with the use of their COVID-19 vaccines.

PFAS Are in Every Bite of Freshwater-Caught Fish Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Freshwater fish – once among the healthiest foods on the planet – is now so contaminated that consuming even one a year may be dangerous.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Freshwater fish in the U.S. has been rendered so toxic by environmental pollutants that even eating one fish a year could be dangerous
- EWG researchers analyzed data from more than 500 fish fillets collected across the U.S. from 2013 to 2015
- The fish fillets, collected from U.S. streams, rivers and lakes, had a median level of total PFAS of 9,500 nanograms per kilogram
- Fish from the Great Lakes were even more toxic, coming in with a median PFAS level of 11,800 nanograms per kilogram
- Consuming a single serving of freshwater fish annually equates to a month of drinking water contaminated with PFOS — one type of PFAS — at a concentration of 48 parts per trillion
- In addition to freshwater fish, toxic PFAS are widely found in air, surface water, groundwater, drinking water, soil and other types of food, food packaging, personal care products and more

Asafoetida: Why This Stinky Herb Is so Beneficial Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- The Indian cooking spice asafoetida is a gum obtained from a type of giant fennel. It has an offensive smell akin to that of rotting garlic and sweaty feet, but an appetizing savory, umami taste
- With its onion-garlic flavor, you can use it as a substitute for either of those ingredients. Many recommend using it in bean-based dishes, as it helps prevent gassiness
- Asafoetida has antibacterial, antiparasitic and antiviral properties. In 2009, researchers discovered certain compounds in the herb were more effective at killing the H1N1 influenza virus than the commercial antiviral drug amantadine
- Asafoetida also has antispasmodic, carminative, expectorant, laxative and sedative properties, just to name a few. Historical uses include the treatment of nervous conditions, bronchitis, asthma, whooping cough and more
- This smelly herb can also be useful for the prevention and treatment of various gut ailments, and for feminine health issues such as sterility, premature labor, painful and excessive menstruation and leucorrhoea
