20,000 Injuries and Deaths: The Flu Disappeared in 2020 But Not the Flu Shot
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Prior to the COVID-19 plandemic in 2020, the yearly influenza vaccine was the most dangerous vaccine in the United States in terms of injuries and deaths recorded in the Government VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) database.
When the world was told that a deadly new virus had arrived in 2020, the flu basically disappeared, as there just were not enough people dying to inflate both influenza and COVID death statistics.
According to the CDC, here are the total amount of flu deaths during the 5 years preceding 2020:
34,000 deaths in the 2018-2019 flu season
61,000 deaths in the 2017-2018 flu season
38,000 deaths in the 2016-2017 flu season
23,000 deaths in the 2015-2016 flu season
51,000 deaths in the 2014-2015 flu season (Source.)
These were of course “estimated deaths” that the CDC calculated each year, and we have documented many times during those 5 years that these numbers were greatly inflated in order to scare the public into getting the flu shot each year. See: The Disappearance of the Annual Flu Which was Replaced with COVID-19
Here are the current number of flu deaths since 2020 according to the CDC:
And yet even though the CDC’s estimated flu deaths have fallen by up to 5,000% since 2020, the number of flu vaccines sold in the U.S. reached a record high at the end of 2020, the last year flu vaccine sales data is available, at 193.8 MILLION doses.
The pro-vaccine crowd may be tempted to reply that the increase in flu vaccine distribution resulted in a decrease in flu deaths, but when the 2021-2022 flu season began, the corporate media stated this year’s flu season vaccine was NOT a good match for the varieties of flu viruses circulating, and that this was going to be a “bad flu season.”

Since 2020 through the most current statistics added to the VAERS database last Friday, September 23, 2022, there have been 20,190 cases of flu vaccine injuries filed, including 185 deaths, 498 permanent disabilities, 237 life threatening events, 2255 visits to the ER, and 1095 hospitalizations. (Source.)
Using a couple of different search techniques in VAERS to try and find cases where people have already received both a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu shot since this recommendation was made, I found several cases where people apparently took the White House’s and the CDC’s advice (given in September, 2021) and got both vaccines together, and then suffered an adverse event.

The most common side effects these children who have received BOTH a flu shot and a COVID shot together at the same time are experiencing are dizziness and fainting within minutes of receiving both shots.
Other recorded side effects included myocarditis (heart disease), inflammation of the brain and spinal cord (encephalomyelitis), seizures, convulsions, organ failure, cardiac shock, rashes, vomiting, and hearing and vision loss.
These are a sampling of the multitude of cases I found of children who received BOTH a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same time. This list is NOT exhaustive, just the ones I could find (54).
