Cool story bruh. I have never got a flu shot, and I have never got the flu. (Until I got the covid flu) never jabbed either, wasn't the worst flu I ever had, not even close.
If you never got a flu how could the COVID flu then not be the worst you ever had...
Thousands of people who DID get jabbed and got Covid also died.
Though I agree not everyone needed the vaccine it helped millions of high-risk people. Following who were in hospitals after the vaccine was available over 90% were the unvacced.

Not really. Apart from the Spanish Flu back in 1918 all other types of flu have very small infection fatality rate.
This is bird flu and cannot be transmitted from humans to humans. Even if Pfizer or Moderna direct its evolution so to create vaccines... My immune system is much better then any of their junk products. And I am confident the same thing will happen when I got infected with SARS-CoV-2, being asymptomatic.
Nobody is sure yet and this pathogen supposedly is able to mutate.

All viruses mutate.
The rate of mutation is different though. Flu viruses have usually a fast rate of mutation.
You need to exposed to infected animals to get infected and in any case we say NO to whatever jul Pfizer abs Moderna create, if they are still in business...

It already jumped from animal to human so it's working it's way up and around. Then say yes to non-mRNA shots or take your chances with the virus you have a choice unless you can prove religious or medical grounds. As for workplaces and the status quo in society, the majority are pro-vaccine and believe in the science, so look for another job if you don't want a jab.

What if this next pandemic is the real one though? I don't want to call people sheep but it's the best way to describe them in this situation. Those people will line up to take the next vaccine while everyone that has been paying attention will avoid it. If this next one is the big one, at some point it will become obvious that the vaccine is working, because you're paying attention.
I'm not saying this is going to happen but if you wanted to get rid of a whole bunch of rebels, I could see this working. By the time people start figuring it out, a lot of people will have already died.
All I'm trying to do is bring awareness, observe and react accordingly. If people start dropping like flies I probably won't take a vaccine but I'm going to be getting the hell out of dodge while it plays out.

As far as the jabs, I'm not so sure it helped anyone, even high risk people. And in Washington state, they (Inslee) made sure the jabs didn't matter or help anyone by sending high risk people already infected to nursing homes so they could kill a lot of other high risk people.

So I live in Washington state too, closer to Portland though. For the first year those going to OR and WA hospitals were around 95% unvacced, so that there told us a lot as to whether the vaccine helped anyone.

Hmmm... Yea I think we know that you are peddling the narrative well but what about now? Have you looked at the vaccinated versus unvaccinated at the moment to see how well the vaccines are doing?

So, we have talked about this before, why do you readdress it like it is some new topic that you just thought about?
Let me help you about what you seemed to forget like a few weeks ago. We both agreed the latest vaccine sucks, is not helping much with Omicron, like 30% efficacy, so what is your point...
You actually posted an OP about this, do you remember even that? In your link that you used as your source it actually said that "the initial vaccines were very successful and saved many lives" This was from your link as I said to you back when we talked about it. Now come forward to 2023, what is your point now?

The H5N1 vaccine currently available is manufactured like similar 'flu vaccines manufactured using eggs.
However, there is no H5N1 pandemic.
Although the vaccines are able to reduce mortality, it is likely that some vaccinated birds would still be capable of transmitting avian influenza if they became infected, increasing the time taken to detect and eradicate this virus.
1) Influenza viruses can mutate rapidly, which could render a vaccine less useful. This is relevant when trying to get a good match between an outbreak virus and the candidate vaccine. The outbreak virus cannot be predicted with any certainty.
2)The vaccines present serious practical limitations in that they need to be delivered by individually injecting each bird. It can take up to 3 weeks for the birds to deliver optimum immunity, and some poultry require 2 doses, with a 4 to 6 week interval between these.
3)There is no proven efficacy of the vaccines in species such as ducks, geese and game birds.
It is difficult to differentiate infected from vaccinated birds.
4)There are welfare implications for birds through increased handling, especially when speed is necessary.
5)Vaccination may induce a false sense of security, resulting in a relaxation of biosecurity and vigilance.
6)There will be a risk to workers from the increased handling of birds.
Vaccines against avian influenza A (H5N1) for human use have been developed for pandemic use but are not widely available

How the vaccines and the other measures doing in the long term can be reflected in the number of excess number of deaths that are seen in pretty much every country that has adopted these measures.

You sure do not like to answer anything do you... On a side note YOU do not get to pick and choose for everyone what YOU think is correct though you really want to...
You idea of measurement is whatever you can find and mold it into anything that fits your narrative no matter the reality of any of it. Once you do that you conveniently ignore everything else.
The US Food and Drug Administration on Monday granted full approval to the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for people age 16 and older. This is the first coronavirus vaccine approved by the FDA, and is expected to open the door to more vaccine mandates

1. Disadvantages of avian influenza vaccines
While preventative vaccination is widely used to control other avian diseases such as Newcastle disease, there are a number of disadvantages relating to currently available avian influenza vaccines:
Although the vaccines are able to reduce mortality, it is likely that some vaccinated birds would still be capable of transmitting avian influenza if they became infected, increasing the time taken to detect and eradicate this virus.
1) Influenza viruses can mutate rapidly, which could render a vaccine less useful. This is relevant when trying to get a good match between an outbreak virus and the candidate vaccine. The outbreak virus cannot be predicted with any certainty.
2)The vaccines present serious practical limitations in that they need to be delivered by individually injecting each bird. It can take up to 3 weeks for the birds to deliver optimum immunity, and some poultry require 2 doses, with a 4 to 6 week interval between these.
3)There is no proven efficacy of the vaccines in species such as ducks, geese and game birds.
It is difficult to differentiate infected from vaccinated birds.
4)There are welfare implications for birds through increased handling, especially when speed is necessary.
5)Vaccination may induce a false sense of security, resulting in a relaxation of biosecurity and vigilance.
6)There will be a risk to workers from the increased handling of birds.
You can apply most of the above with the exception of 6) and changing the wording from birds to humans to describe how effective the Covid-19 and the H5N1 vaccines are.
From the WHO
Vaccines against avian influenza A (H5N1) for human use have been developed for pandemic use but are not widely available
And I will add that nobody knows what these vaccines are and if they are safe and effective. We will assume they are not until otherwise proven. These vaccines are unknown and are not widely available. Better to avoid unknown 'stuff'....
