This is a highly flawed, massively biased and scientifically poor paper But its anti vaccine message is what a lot of people really want to hear so it's getting a lot of views It's what happens when attention is more important to you than scientific integrity.

Influenza (flu) activity remains high. COVID-19 remains at a moderate level of activity. RSV is also at a moderate level, and is decreasing. There’s still time to get your flu vaccine. Talk to your pharmacist or GP now. Full report: health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/cov…

It is impossible to overstate the importance of flu vaccinations. These life saving jabs are so important for protecting yourself and the Australian community, particularly our most vulnerable. If you're not up to date on your vaccinations, check in with your GP now.

Of all RFK Jr's dangerously wrong opinions - his attack on HPV vaccines is the worst (and that really is saying something) HPV vaccines like Gardasil PREVENT cancer - so effectively that cervical cancer is on the way to ELIMINATION in places like Scotland, Sweden and Australia.

Excellent durability up to one year following Novavax booster doses shown in a new study from Japan. Correlates of protection estimate 66% throughout the first year following first booster, and 88% throughout second year after 2nd booster.
