    Flu shots are already considered an important factor in combating the coronavirus pandemic, since widespread inoculations will hopefully help prevent medical facilities from becoming overwhelmed by dual diseases. But new research suggests flu shots may also play some role in preventing COVID-19 infections in the first place, The Scientific American reports.A study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, found that workers at Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands who received a flu shot during the 2019-20 season were 39 percent less likely than their colleagues to test positive for the coronavirus as of June 1, 2020. Non-vaccinated employees contracted the virus at a 2.23 percent rate, compared to only 1.33 percent of those who were vaccinated.The preliminary research would certainly require further clinical trials - though the author of the study noted it would be unethical to compel a control group of subjects to be denied a flu shot - and there could be several reasons why the vaccinated group staved off infection more easily, including the possibility that they are generally more health conscious and took more COVID-19 precautions.Still, there have been other studies that hint at a possible link between flu shots (and other vaccines, for that matter) and lower COVID-19 risk. Additionally, the Radboud research team conducted a laboratory experiment in which they took blood cells from healthy individuals, purified them, and exposed some of them to a flu vaccine. After allowing the cells to grow for a few days, the researchers exposed them to the coronavirus. A day later they found that the vaccinated cells produced more of several kinds of immune molecules that fight off pathogens than those that were initially left alone.

    I always get the seasonal flu shot, and encourage everyone to get one. I got it early this year -- the first day it was available from my healthcare provider. Their flu shot clinic is drive thru this year, so very easy. And it's free too.

    Getting the seasonal flu shot is extra important this year to reduce load on hospitals so they can deal with the Covid patients.

    Already got one, and do every year. I think it's extra important
    to do so this year.

    Something I have realized is that a lot of people talks about the vaccines, but nobody talks about other preventive or mitigating factors.

    With all the virus crisis going on, we have been running lots of analysis on risk patients and everybody is turning out with severe deficits in certain vitamins and minerals, some of which are known to be associated with virus resistence.

    I think everybody who is concerned as to take the vaccine should consider taking a month worth of zinc, vitamin D3 and probably vitamin C. This stuff is flying from the shelves so badlñy these days... we ran out of it in the warehouse and there are supply problems here for some of those.

    Take care.

    Bonus points: zinc is great for people who is going bald. It also helps keeping your hooves thick and strong.

    Agree. I started taking a daily Vit D suppliment a month ago because my blood test showed my levels in the lower range. I've heard magnesium is a good one to take too.

    Magnesium is great. We have lots of patients on a mix of vit C + Magnesium + D + Hialuronic. But that mix is essentially for joint pains.

    If you are taking vit D you may look into vit K. We have observed that people taking a mix of D+K has a much better level of D than those who take only D.

    So much for $me, the dumb sysadmin of the clinic :-)

    I normally don't get it but I wasn't aware it could help with Covid so I will definetly get it. I also started Vitamin D tabs and Vitamin B12 injections.

    I don't know what's going on. I've never seen such a conflict of interest in my life. How is a possible the White House and Democrats can be so far apart? COVID is no big deal. OMG We're all gonna die from Covid. Mail-in Ballots are crooked. It's a fake election. No No.. there's no proof of that. Voters are turning out in millions to vote against Trump. No voters want to make sure Trump is re-elected. We have nothing but love for each other. NO NO there's too much HATE and Trump caused it all by building a wall. Oh and BTW wearing a mask don't do shit. It's all a scam.

    After hearing about the vaccination and the need to keep it at -90 F vitamins seem to be a much better choice.

    It's not an either/or equation. You need the vitamins to help, hopefully, reduce the symptoms if you get infected. Until then, and even after, you need the vaccine to hopefully prevent infection. Even with a vaccine, vitamins are a good idea.

    This is just one of the vaccines, there will be others. They won't all require deep freeze for transport.

    Zinc at the onset of any symptoms, Echinacea daily, big doses of
    Vitamin C and lots of water got me through a couple of cold and
    flu-ridden winters when I was working in desktop support, touching
    everyone's keyboard and mouse - the employees were all young,
    overworked and varyingly sick.

    That regimen and washing my hands often got me through those winters
    without getting sick once.

    When I caught COVID-19 in October, I was given azithromycin, zinc, and Vitamin C (I am taking about 7000 IUs of D3 daily for my Charcot foot). That made a huge difference in the severity and speed of recovery for me.

    I'm skipping the vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus and like the common cold in the same family, coronaviruses mutate rapidly. There's good reasons why we don't have a vaccine for the common cold. The vaccine is a moneymaker for Big Pharma and the NIH (which is just a governmental patent clearing house now). There's cheaper and much more effective drugs that work on the SARS-CoV-2 virus but there's no money in it.

    Besides, after being in the Army, I've been experimented enough for my lifetime. Time to let other people who trust our government to be guinea pigs.

    The Canadian gov't wants to INSIST on vaccinating the
    indigenious populations in a priority event. Nevermind that
    their regions (northern Canada) did not experience any breakouts
    like those in the other provinces. Seems like an opportunity to
    just use the indigineous as guinea pigs - and see what happens.

    The "documenting" of the gene info may be patented for purposes
    of cloning things like skin cells or something. But is it akin
    to what Monsanto is/was trying to do and patent all foods and
    therefore control the food industry or take away the privilege

    Here in the US, they're forcing nursing home patients, healthcare workers, DoD employees, and others to get the vaccine(s). They're using vunerable people as guinea pigs too unfortunately.

    No, it's more than that. They're literally trying to patent the human body for eugenics purposes and, going with what you said, possibly trying to take away your basic human right of control over your own body.

    Sad.

    Asia, specifically China, has been the hotbed of disease development for centuries, not just in modern times.

    I think that the Kung Flu was an accidental release but the "powers that be" saw it as the perfect vector to try to push all of their batshit (no pun intended) crazy world control ideas. You know, never let a crisis go to waste kinda thing.
