I was the most ill I’ve ever been with flu age 21. My lungs were like bricks . I was taken home from work and I didn’t know why as I wasn’t quite right in the head. Luckily my flat mate brought me drinks as I lay in bed for four days and I remember nothing of those four days. Took weeks to recover

When I was 33 I was running 33 miles a week. I got sick on my birthday with the flu (1983.) I am now 70 and that flu was the worst sickness I have had in my life. When you said you got to the door and just laid on the floor I understand completely. I spent more time lying on the bathroom floor than in my bed. Shockingly after the worst of it I was extremely weak for several weeks. Walking a few hundred feet was exhausting. So, I have had a flu shot every year since which is 37 flu shots (not counting earlier shots in the military and a swine flu shot.)

Yeah, my GP surgery has done everything to protect themselves and don't seem to give a poop about the patients. I'd gone to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy to find it hadn't been sent over. Went to the GP and they had no knowledge because they'd changed their email address without bothering to notify me (or anyone) and I didn't get a bounce back. The door is cordoned off and there is a little table in the porch with all the paper forms and a pot of pens. No hand sanitizer (but that would be pointless, it would get stolen in a heartbeat -even if were bolted to the wall) but I had my own and was super conscious of what I was touching. The idea of these little paper forms and shared pens and lifting the lid to open the post box to put the forms, not very 2020 (my workplace went paperless 5 years ago). Having to shout over to the receptionist from the door, not very confidential. A staff member squeezed past me on her way in and out and there were no signs outside advising people not to all cram into the porch bit or to queue distancedly outside.

For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment. Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season. This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa. Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling) This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version. The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor .

I will never get the flu shot ever again or any type of vaccine, I don't care what the doctor says! The last time I got the flu shot was November 2020 and only got it because the doctor pressured me to get it when I was in the clinic. I shouldn't have gave in. I was sicker then a dog after that. I said "NEVER AGAIN!"

I have slight asthma and usually get a text or a letter saying they recommend I have the vaccine. Not heard anything anything from them yet. (I don't think I have ever had the vaccine, and I don't think I've ever had influenza..unless it was very mild).. Is it possible to have got some level of Immunity to the different strains of influenza over the years, even though the virus mutates every year? I was considering getting the flu jab this year due to the risk of covid and flu at the same time. Chest infections are usually my thing, get a bad one every winter usually,. but didn't this winter.. I started taking vitamin d in early February, so maybe related. I wouldn't like to get a bad chest infection and covid at the same time. I suppose there are always antibiotics for the chest infection if it's bacterial.

Vitamin D is of course related, as long as you mean D3 and in sufficient quantity [2,000 IU]. GP surgeries are coping with the pandemic and if they haven't sent you a reminder perhaps they are too busy. You should check with them and arrange an appointment for the flu vaccine. As Dr John says, it may protect against Sars-Cov-2 also. As long as your D3 is sufficent in your blood you'll make antibodies.

I just got the flu vaccine (Canada). Booked my appointment online for the same day, walked in, confirmed my info, got the shot and out. Maybe ten minutes of total effort, no cost to me

The flu vaccine is meant to cover the *common* flu virus on the opposite hemisphere for that year. It's the best prediction they can make since these viruses can and do change, and new strains always pop up. It sounds like you both got an *uncommon* flu or other virus the vaccine did not cover. I'm glad to see you both recovered though anyway. Stay healthy and happy all. ^-^

Will you do a video of the study on the care homes in London that had covid outbreaks earlier this year?

Had mine done two weeks ago mum and dad done been encouraging others 👍

They've been changing from three strains to four strains in the flu vaccine in Canada for a couple of years now so it's no longer the traditional three strains in Canada. I believe last year there were two vaccines circulated, one three strain and one four strain and you wouldn't know which you would get unless you asked though it would be on the vaccination certificate skip if you got one.

I had covid a few weeks ago. I’m 26 and generally in good health but also take vitamin D daily with K2. At least 3000IU per day. My symptoms have mainly gone now after two weeks and they were all around mild. I’ve had colds that were worse personally but the fever and tiredness was distinctly worse. Also a cracking headache for the first 4 days at the base of my skull.

For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment. Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season. This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa. Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling) This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version. The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines, usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.

The guidelines and data analysis being used here is severely flawed and non-scientific to perpetuate an ongoing good day bad day information cycle to keep people tuned in. The only narrative that should be talked about, is the fact the pandemic is all but over and is by definition, well into what is known in epidemiology as the pathogen endemic, equilibrium phase. (viral stasis) Any vaccines that are being developed right now, are already dated and ineffective due to two fundamental factors, antigenic shift (mutation) and virulence dilution. The high case counts with low casualty numbers are a normal predictable pattern of all Corona viral outbreaks. The virus has drastically weakened virulence from T-Cell antibody immune response to massive population infection spread and saturation, to the extent it becomes, to the vast majority, nothing more than another common cold like annoyance. Because the SARS-COV-2 virus is now at the epidemiological low level virulence phase, all future focus should be towards (MPIE) mass population immunization by exposure, (herd immunity) from the healthy population, as rapidly as possible in order to protect the most vulnerable health population. This is neither a guess nor a theory, but rather verifiable, empirical, biological law. Everyone must take the time to listen to this interview with prominent top scientists, with over 3,500 virologist, epidemiologist, scientists and infectious disease experts signing onto a Sweden approach policy declaration. This many scientists signing on, is not surprising however considering it was the exact worldwide infectious disease policy that has been implemented for every pandemic for the past century. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pK6TvJmAlpTHgqg.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/doh2q8WAqbWanKw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/o2qApJSLoJeaqqQ.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmVnrpuDZ7rOpbg.html

Here's some of the information I found about the pandemic in Sweden (apologies for anything irrelevant to your question, it's copy pasted from a document I reply often with. The citizens took the advice of their government and they self isolated. The Swedes generally trust their governments advice, so there was no need for shutdowns. Also, gatherings of more than 50 were prohibited. www.npr.org/2020/09/04/909793678/swedish-approach-to-the-pandemic-is-it-working Comparison of deaths per million in Scandanavian countries. Sweden 576 Denmark 108 Finland 61 and Norway 49 Of course trump’s (the guy who lied to his country about the severity of covid19) corona virus adviser, scott atlas, now recommends following Sweden’s example. But it's no surprise that *scott atlas has no background in infectious diseases or epidemiology, and trump found him on Fox News.* Also, the virus doesn't leave a person healthy after they've been sick. The doctors are recording that a growing number of covid19 patients have lasting heart damage and dangerous inflammation. It's not just the elderly either (as if that should matter). During the final week of June in the sunbelt states, nearly half the covid19 patients were ages 18 to 49. You may be inclined to think this is just all a democrat hoax still, but Europeans agree that Sweden has done poorly, and their system of what countries they allow free travel of quarantine from shows this as Sweden is always a red or orange color on the map (meaning they are either not allowed at all, or they must quarantine upon arrival. Also, Sweden is planning in tightening it's restrictions as they now also agree they should have done more. Here are more recent numbers for comparison. Compare Sweden to the rest of Scandanavia, and it's clear that they could and should have done multitudes of times better. Deaths from covid19 as of September 22.. Sweden: 5,876 deaths.

I am probably more “right-wing” than anyone you know and I think that while modern medical care has many deficiencies and corruptions vaccinations represent the very best of medicine as a preventative of what would be and what once was enormous human suffering and death. I am in favour of mandatory Heath care employees flu vaccination and likewise when a Coronavirus vaccine is available mandatory vaccination for those workers and employees and students in state supported education facilities.

Thank you. 🇨🇦😷👍

Vitamin D, K2 and zinc taken for over a year now, flu vaccine complete a few weeks ago, done my bit as much as I can. Xx

Thanks Dr Campbell much appreciated 👍 now enjoy a Day off to allotment

Don't be silly, he's in this for the money! You ought to have worked that one out by now?

My dental hygienist told me that a doctor friend of theirs told them that the covid-19 test doesn't differentiate between influenza and covid-19 and therefore, influenza rates were way down and covid-19 numbers were reported much higher than actually cases. That didn't seem correct to me.

Thanks for this information. I will get my flu shot once made available. One would also think that this year's flu season could be quite mild as international travel is nearly shut down. So, whatever is going on in Asia, might now find it difficult to find its way into Europe.

@Blue Brigadier where did you get that snippet of information

The MAIN reason Australia has had such a mild influenza season is that everyone entering the country is quarantined in a hotel for 14 days. Those who arrive back with influenza get over it while in the hotel before they have any opportunity to spread it in the community. It is true that social distancing would have made it a very mild season anyway, but in fact it never got into the community to start with.

I tend to agree and add to that the major interstate travel restrictions which are still very significant.

Thanks for the information going next week for the influenza vaccine one winter and had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks, cause of my rare chronic illness and my electrolytes where so bad got it before I was put on the list for vulnerable.

For anyone that wants the actual facts and science behind the flu vaccine. Science actually coordinates with other countries around the world for this each year. Micro-chemists from the northern hemisphere analyse the flu strain that is currently active in the southern hemisphere and then develop a vaccine according to what appears to be the active virulent strain for that particular moment. Conversely the southern hemisphere does the same thing with the northern hemisphere strain during their active flu season. This is actually shows what science is capable of when everyone comes together and coordinated effort. However and it's a huge however. There is a 6 month time lapse from southern hemisphere flu season to northern hemisphere flu season and vise versa. Flu virus unfortunately have a notorious ability to break down the Ribosome's error correction transcribing molecular machinery inside the cells nucleus allowing for massive errors in the RNA code that alters the viruses genomic blueprint. (similar to a human computer programmers that have to go through thousands of lines of 1's and 0's of binary code and correct the spelling) This is well understood and documented, called antigenic shift or mutation and allows most flu strains to go completely undetected by the current vaccine that was just developed for a particular pure strain and not the altered version. The time lapse between the two opposing hemispheres and the time it takes to distribute the drug is usually far to large of a spread. Hence why there is such a poor effectiveness rate for annual flu vaccines (even with multi strain shots) usually well within the statistical margin of error for an effective zero efficiency when all variables are considered into the mathematical probable factor. Everyone must consider the possible side effects from the drug vs the possible benefits from the drug. For anyone willing to spend the time to research and verify, the answer seems quite clear.

About 4 weeks ago I asked two local pharmacies (in Ewell, Surrey) about the flu jab, both had sold out and don't know when or if they will be re-supplied.

It seem likely the flu season in Australia was greatly minimised by the lock down and distancing of people in Australia this year particularly in the winter months. Those distancing practices included restrictions on public transport, public meetings, shopping, workplace distancing and bans on attending public sporting events as well as the emphasis on the need to sanitize. Added to that was the promotion of the flu vaccine.

Dear Dr Campbell. as soon as you mentioned adjusted data I felt oh dear this does not reassure me, I want to see research based on a better matched data population sample,

Audio levels much better now thanks !

Thank you 🙏

We can hope that all the mask wearing, hygiene, etc. not only will help with COVID, but it will help lessen the amount of people who get the flu as well.

It doesn't with respect to masks, I'm afraid...that's one of pieces of evidence that shows masks have limited effectiveness in preventing transmission.

Bit surprised to hear its a good thing to have the flu vaccine as on one of your previous video's you did say there has been evidence that by having it makes you more prone to upper respiratory infections/virus's etc including covid19, and now you seem quite sure this is not the case, just wondering what is the main reason for your big change of heart please ? ?

I seriously doubt that's what he said. But maybe you have a link or at least the name of the video? That you didn't bother to post either makes me more than just doubtful so far. Besides, I've just been fact checking that. lols Short answer: *no.* For the details you can read the facts here.. www.snopes.com/fact-check/flu-shot-avoidance/ This sort of aggressive misinformation campaign is a staple of alt-right media, and has been going on since long before the pandemic.

For what it's worth never trust a fact checking site, the worst of which is Snopes

UK residents in my age group are likely to be offered the flu jab in November - December, subject to national availability. It makes sense to prioritise vulnerable groups first. The protection will last about 6 months.

Brilliant factual information and clear teaching. Excellent video today.
