It has exceeded its original mandate and needs to have its wings clipped.

So how do they determine the efficacy outside of the US? As I read it the 
meaning is 70% of the people presenting with a verified influenza 
infection had received the shot. What percentage of the total population 
does that represent?  

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-vaccines/last-years-flu-vaccine-41-
effective-preventing-medically-attended-influenza-data

They are a bit vague but the money shot is

"Notably, VE against illnesses caused by H1N1 varied significantly by age. 
Among children 8 months to 8 years, VE was 58%, but the vaccine offered no 
protection for adults ages 50 to 64 years."

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5853256/

Then there is a bit of a paradox:

"In one year of the study, it appeared that multiply vaccinated subjects 
were actually more likely to develop influenza than unvaccinated subjects 
(that is, VE was statistically significantly less than zero)."

https://www.science.org/content/article/why-flu-vaccines-so-often-fail

A less technical account.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-flu-shot-vaccine-skowronski-
h1n1-1.3669427

"Experts used to believe the annual flu shot protection was much higher, 
around 70 to 90 per cent. But not anymore. Those early estimates were 
based on industry-funded clinical trials that were extrapolated to apply 
across all ages and flu seasons."

I am shocked! Shocked! Industry funded test showed the stuff the industry 
was pushing is a Great Thing. 

Follow The Science, not The Propaganda. At least in the US the colorful 
banners are being rolled out 'Get Your Free Flu Shot'.  There is no such 
fucking thing as a 'free' flu shot. Pfizer and the rest of the pharma 
vultures are not charity organizations. 

It's isn't dramatic enough to have gotten much exposure but RFK jr. and 
Trump are also trying to eliminate pharma advertising on TV. I'll really 
miss those ads telling me to talk to my doctor about some miracle drug to 
cure a condition I've never heard of. As a side effect, since all ads must 
have at least 50% POCs, I've concluded POCs are a sickly lot.

As a matter of fact, yes. Actually, like Margaret Sanger in her prime, I 
would encourage it if you were a pregnant POC and throw in a tubal 
ligation absolutely free.
