Five people have died after getting flu shots in South Korea in the past
week, authorities said, raising concerns over the vaccine’s safety just as
the seasonal inoculation programme is expanded to head off potential
COVID-19 complications.

Authorities said there was no reason to believe the deaths were linked to
the vaccine but an investigation, including post mortems, was underway.

“It makes it hard for us to put out a categorical statement,” Vice Health
Minister Kim Gang-lip told a briefing on Wednesday about the deaths, which
include a 17-year-old boy and a man in his 70s.

Coming just weeks after the rollout of the national vaccine programme was
suspended over safety worries, the deaths have dominated headlines in South
Korea.

Officials last month announced plans to procure 20% more flu vaccines for
the winter than the previous year to inoculate 30 million people in a bid to
prevent the health system being overloaded by patients with flu and COVID-19
exposure.

However, the start of a free jab programme for around 19 million eligible
people was suspended for three weeks after it was discovered that some 5
million doses, which need to be refrigerated, had been exposed to room
temperature while being transported to a medical facility.

Boosting public trust in vaccines has become a major global challenge this
year, as some countries rush to approve experimental COVID-19 vaccines
before full safety and efficacy studies have been completed.

South Korea’s flu vaccines are supplied by different drugmakers, including
LG Chem Ltd and Boryung Biopharma Co. Ltd., a unit of Boryung Pharm Co. Ltd.
. A Boryung official told Reuters the company was aware of the reported
deaths, but had no immediate comment. LG Chem said the company would follow
government advice.

A 17-year-old boy who died on Friday was the first death noted by officials
to follow receipt of the vaccine. The boy died two days after receiving the
flu shot in Incheon, near the capital Seoul.

A man in his 70s, who had Parkinson’s disease and arrhythmia, was the most
recent case. He died in Daegu on Wednesday, a day after receiving the flu
vaccine. Daegu officials said the man had received vaccines since 2015 with
no prior adverse reactions.

Officials said 8.3 million people have been inoculated with the free flu
vaccine since it resumed on Oct. 13, with around 350 cases of adverse
reactions reported. The highest number of deaths linked to the seasonal flu
vaccination was six in 2005, according to Yonhap news agency.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, trust in vaccines was a growing
challenge for public health bodies. The World Health Organization named
vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 global health threats for last year.

In South Korea, a poll earlier this month found that 62% of 2,548
respondents in Gyeonggi province, near Seoul, would not get vaccinated
against COVID-19, even if a vaccine is approved, until all safety questions
are fully answered.

The anti-vacc scum are similar to the anti-gun scum in that they cite
only the relatively rare times the vaccines produced a negative
result. It's despicably dishonest.

I know and have heard from many people who got the flu vaccine yet they
still got the flu plus experienced other bad symptoms/conditions.

I and many others I know didn't get the flu vaccine yet we rarely get sick.
Explain that.

My wife, in fact, refuses to get the flu vaccine since she had an
adverse reaction to her first one, and she's never gotten the flu.
Still, ya gotta look at the overall stats. Ditto for guns. Some
dipshit gives her toddler access to a gun and he kills her with it. I
actually saw that used by an anti-gun cretin.

It's 25 dead in South Korea for the flu vaccine now.

And to think that the useful idiots here want this deep state developed
concoction rolled out to the rest of the world.
It's been known for a long time that the deep state want to reduce the
population. Luckily the world population clock shows that the population is
only going up. No wonder they're deleting so many youtube and twitter
accounts. They don't want the truth out about their failure.

I know that, dude. I avoid them.

But vaccines are cool, seriously. Case in point: I'm actually old
enough to remember seeing kids who survived polio. Not nice at all.
And they were the "lucky" ones, the others died. But when was the
last time you knew anyone who got polio? And how the fuck can you not
see this as a good thing? Ditto for smallpox, measles, etc. etc. etc.

Jesus fucking Christ, man, it's a no fucking brainer, ain't it?
