Despite claims that flu vaccines are ineffective, they have saved over 40,000 lives between 2005-2014, making vaccination safer than risking the disease.
Claims that lockdowns will return are misinformation; with vaccines and masks available, lockdowns are unnecessary.

Flu viruses mutate frequently, so even if you’ve had the flu before, getting a yearly flu vaccine is important for protection against new strains.
There is no evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer, and the claim that they contain the SV40 virus is unsupported by scientific evidence.
COVID vaccines do not make you more likely to die from COVID; vaccinated individuals have consistently shown lower mortality rates compared to the unvaccinated.
