As we head into flu shot season and are faced with various announcements from federal entities and COVID personalities about new and old versions of the flu shot, I want to post a reminder for Americans that nothing about what is or isn’t occurring under the current administration is surprising.
From “COVID Origins Ping-Pong” (1 May 2025):
*BEGIN EXCERPT*
In other related news, RFK, Jr’s HHS and Jay Bhattacharya’s NIH announced the launch of a “next-generation universal vaccine platform for pandemic-prone viruses” — effectively, more countermeasures for fake emergencies.

From the press release:
This initiative represents a decisive shift toward transparency, effectiveness, and comprehensive preparedness, funding the NIH’s in-house development of universal influenza and coronavirus vaccines, including candidates BPL-1357 and BPL-24910. These vaccines aim to provide broad-spectrum protection against multiple strains of pandemic-prone viruses such as H5N1 avian influenza and coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV.
“Our commitment is clear: every innovation in vaccine development must be grounded in gold standard science and transparency, and subjected to the highest standards of safety and efficacy testing,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The program realigns BARDA’s operations with its statutory mission under the Public Health Service Act—to prepare for all influenza viral threats, not just those currently circulating.
“Generation Gold Standard is a paradigm shift,” said NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “It extends vaccine protection beyond strain-specific limits and prepares for flu viral threats – not just today’s, but tomorrow’s as well — using traditional vaccine technology brought into the 21st century.”
Because I believe Operation COVID-19 was, in part, an effort to “save” the flu shot from harms it had been afflicting — and preserve decades of lies about respiratory illness — I can’t say I’m surprised.
The push toward (what I’ve called) “One Shot to Rule Them All” is moving full steam ahead as planned.

Bhattacharya’s background includes flu shot research, just like his Great Barrington Declaration co-authors Martin Kuldorff and Sunetra Gupta, so it appears he was a ‘good’ choice for some of the Trump administration’s ‘health’ goals.
*END EXCERPT*
Other reminders:
- Many Americans are required to take the flu shot as a condition of employment, program enrollment, or residency in a facility.
- The “discarding” of a flu shot mandate for military earlier this year was disingenuous.
- Most of what was done with SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 had been done on a smaller scale with influenza. The flu surveillance and shot program can be thought of as “practice” or “proof-of-concept” for Operation COVID.
- The CDC lies about flu deaths and harms. The WHO lies too.
- Unethical practices surrounding “selling” the flu shot aren’t new, but may be more glaring or more obvious in the wake of 2020.
- Even when positive flu tests virtually disappeared for months in the U.S. and many other countries, flu-shot VAERS reports did not.

- The “two-week” window is a flu shot thing as well.

- COVID-19 and “twindemic” fear-mongering were a “good” thing for flu shot uptake, per CDC FluVax data.

My own direct experiences and observations over six years strongly suggest that some people and entities were or are effectively under orders with regard to flu testing and vaccination, i.e., they were not at liberty or permitted to elevate or write or speak about flu shot problems until or unless the injections involved mRNA.
The extent to which higher-profile dissident individuals and organizations were, for a time, intentionally directed or counseled away from the flu shot (and other vaccines) and toward the COVID shot as part of a Big Tent/Slow-Roll anti-vax strategy* is an open and fair question.
