Increased Risk of Noninfluenza Respiratory Virus Infections Associated With Receipt of Inactivated Influenza Vaccine
@sda on a scale from 1 (least) to 10 (most) how conclusive do you find this report? Do you think there are any features of the experiment that may be problematic?
@binsrc
Science is never "conclusive" or "settled." It always tells us the state of our guesstimate of reality for today. Next year, or next decade, or next century another study will come out to contradict, or modify it.
So, I find all studies to be a 1 on the conclusive scale...
@sda that sounds perfectly reasonable. I would be interested in reading your own report on potential NCD associations with vaccination.
The linked report suggests higher potential for common cold post flu shot in a very small study. It would be interesting to understand why. Can a single cell be infected with multiple viruses at once? It might just be availability of exploitable cells that aren’t already infected by influenza.
