This is a good example of how confusion about the flu vaccine leads to reduced uptake:
1. We know that immunity develops about 10-14 days after administration. The incubation period is 1-4 days. Getting influenza within a week is not unheard of.
2. The flu vaccine is not 100% effective.

In 2013 Piers Morgan got a flu shot on Dr. Oz, was promised he wouldn't get the flu and a week later got it—mirroring what I've seen more times than I can count
Centuries of evidence show vaccines cause temporary immune suppression and outbreaks (ie polio) follow vax campaigns🧵

This is funny to me because it's obviously a bad idea for an anti parasitic with relatively narrow indications to be made OTC, however this will financially hurt grifters like Peter McCullough and The Wellness Company who sell ivermectin prescriptions online.

Bad news: Obviously these changes are complete horse poo.
Good news: 97% of my patients have never bothered to look at a CDC web page.
OK news: The CDC site contains information about other important topics like travel medicine, respiratory illness levels, etc. So far those seem unchanged.

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
