If You Loved the COVID Shots, You’ll “Love” Moderna’s Brand-New mRNA Flu Jab

Mario Nawfal nailed the mood on X this morning (above) with characteristic understatement: “If you loved Covid shots, you’ll LOVE this… Sign me up!! Just kidding, I’m never touching it.” “FUCKIN A” – Sgt Pat shouted from across our office at Whatfinger News in Dallas.

The FDA just approved the first mRNA-based seasonal flu vaccine — Moderna’s mFLUSIVA (also known as mRNA-1010) — for adults 50 and older. Full traditional approval for ages 50–64. Accelerated approval for 65 and up, with Moderna still required to run more studies to prove it actually works in the age group that actually dies from flu.

The company is already talking about doses showing up at select retailers in the coming weeks for the 2026–27 season. Same messenger RNA platform that brought you Spikevax. Same lipid nanoparticles. Same manufacturer that spent years insisting myocarditis was rare, transient, and totally worth it.

RFK Jr. WARNING: “In a million years, I would not take the flu shot—& I’ll tell you why.” “The flu shot sets you up for flu, 36% pathogenic priming for COVID & boosts non-flu illnesses like pneumonia 440%.” Check out this evidence—ingredients, research & figures that deserve informed consent.

The Numbers They Want You to Focus On

In a Phase 3 trial of more than 40,000 adults 50+, mFLUSIVA was about 26–27% more effective at preventing lab-confirmed flu-like illness than a standard-dose traditional flu shot. That’s the relative efficacy number the press releases wave around. Absolute numbers were still modest: hundreds of cases in each arm. For seniors 65+, they leaned on antibody data versus Sanofi’s high-dose shot and accelerated the approval.

Side effects look familiar if you paid attention during the COVID years: injection-site pain, swollen lymph nodes in the same arm, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, nausea or vomiting, and fever. Rates were higher than with conventional flu shots. One trial report noted a case of perimyocarditis. The usual “mostly mild and short-lived” language is already out in force.

CDC data show HUNDREDS of sudden deaths among infants and toddlers within days of MMR vaccination, amounting to 2,657% MORE DEATHS than measles itself. The children died from SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME, CARDIAC ARREST, AND ENCEPHALITIS. The vaccine should NEVER kill more than the disease.

The X Verdict Is Already In

Scroll the replies and quote tweets and you’ll find the same refrain that has defined the post-2021 landscape: “Never again.” People who took traditional flu shots for decades and still got sick are drawing a hard line at the mRNA version. Others who watched family members develop heart issues, neurological problems, or just felt permanently “off” after the COVID series are treating this as more of the same technology under a different brand name.

The skepticism isn’t fringe. It is the lived experience of millions who noticed that the flu somehow became both deadly enough to demand annual shots and mild enough that the shots rarely seemed to stop it. Add the same platform that was rushed, liability-protected, and aggressively marketed while dissent was censored, and the default answer for a lot of Americans is simple: pass.

Rocky Road to Approval

This wasn’t a smooth regulatory victory. Earlier this year the FDA initially refused to even review the application, citing trial design problems. After pushback the agency reversed course. An advisory panel later voted unanimously to recommend it, and the approval landed. The whole episode played out against the backdrop of RFK Jr.’s broader skepticism of mRNA technology and previous funding cuts for related projects. Pharma still got its win.

Flu remains a real seasonal burden, especially for the frail elderly. No serious person denies that. The question is whether another mRNA product — with higher reactogenicity and the same unresolved long-term questions that still hang over the COVID shots — is the answer, or whether we’re watching the same playbook with a new seasonal label.

Most traditional flu shots already struggle to deliver robust, lasting protection. Turning the annual ritual into an mRNA product doesn’t automatically fix the mismatch problem; it just imports a technology that a large and growing share of the public no longer trusts.

Mario’s post captured the prevailing sentiment better than any official statement: the people who are still enthusiastic about this are the same ones who never questioned the last round. The rest of us are sitting this one out.

Bret Weinstein explains how the COVID conspiracy theorists were proven right about everything and it doesn’t matter. WEINSTEIN: “We live in two worlds simultaneously at the moment. I remember conversations that I had with people I cared deeply about at the beginning of COVID right as the lab leak story was beginning to crack.”

“What I saw was, actually, I think we’re going to win the lab leak story. We’re not yet winning the vaccine story, and we’re way behind on the repurposed drug story. “In 2026, here’s what we see. We actually won. Completely. All of these things are now visible to anybody who wishes to see them. “And we’ve lost completely. Our capacity to do anything about this is now on full display. We have none.” “Your ability to simply get the story clear enough and enough evidence on the table does not have an impact on what happens next. “We’re still apparently dispensing these frickin shots. How crazy is that? Right after all that we have unearthed, after all the people who lost their careers to unearth this stuff, they’re still dispensing the frickin shots.” So what’s left? WEINSTEIN: “We need to figure out now how to talk to the people who actually have goodness in their hearts, but are still so desperately confused. “You have to figure out how to approach them with enough generosity of spirit that you can get them over the line to just seeing. You can get them to take off the blindfold.”

We sent our 52-page autism study directly to RFK Jr… Days later, the CDC changed its website to say: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is NOT an evidence-based claim.” The 30-year lie that “vaccines don’t cause autism” has officially been TERMINATED. Our peer-reviewed study found 79% (107 of 136) of vaccine-related studies showed a POSITIVE LINK to autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and/or brain damage. Autism prevalence skyrocketed 32,000% as vaccine makers obtained full liability protection and the vaccine schedule grew to 72 doses.

Whatfinger’s Take On The News: If You Loved the COVID Shots, You’ll “Love” Moderna’s Brand-New mRNA Flu Jab

The crew reviewed the latest General Dispatch on Moderna’s newly approved mRNA flu vaccine. Same platform, same manufacturer, new seasonal label. The skepticism in the room was immediate.

Luke opened with the details. “The FDA just approved Moderna’s mFLUSIVA (mRNA-1010), the first mRNA-based seasonal flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Full traditional approval for ages 50–64. Accelerated approval for 65 and up, with more efficacy studies still required. It uses the same mRNA platform and lipid nanoparticles as Spikevax. Phase 3 data showed about 26–27% relative improvement over a standard flu shot at preventing lab-confirmed illness, though absolute numbers remained modest. Full piece here: If You Loved the COVID Shots, You’ll “Love” Moderna’s Brand-New mRNA Flu Jab.”

Alex jumped in with sarcasm. “Mario Nawfal summed it up perfectly: ‘If you loved Covid shots, you’ll LOVE this… Sign me up!! Just kidding, I’m never touching it.’ Higher reactogenicity, familiar side-effect list, one noted case of perimyocarditis, and the same company that spent years downplaying heart inflammation. A large share of the public has already decided. ‘Never again’ is not a fringe slogan anymore — it’s the default for millions.”

Sgt. Pat was blunt. “Flu is real, especially for the frail elderly. No one serious denies that. The question is whether importing the same mRNA technology — with its track record, liability protections, and unresolved questions — is an upgrade or just the same playbook under a new label. Trust is not a renewable resource. Once it’s burned, people stop lining up. RFK Jr is now on record saying he will never take a flu vaccine. Lisa, post that vid in the article for folks… ”

Lisa focused on the lived experience. “Families who watched relatives develop heart issues, neurological problems, or just never feel the same after the COVID series are not interested in a sequel. Traditional flu shots already had a mixed reputation. Turning the annual ritual into another mRNA product does not automatically fix the problems. It imports the distrust. Pat, I posted the RFK vid in the article, thanks for the tidea. (It’s above)”

Beth added a quieter note. “There is a real seasonal burden from flu. But the regulatory path here — initial refusal, then reversal, accelerated approval for the oldest group while more data is still needed — does not rebuild confidence. When the same platform that was aggressively marketed and protected from liability returns with a flu label, many people simply opt out. That response is rational given the recent history.”

Alex kept the edge. “The people still enthusiastic are mostly the ones who never questioned the last round. Everyone else is watching the side-effect profile, the modest absolute benefit, and the familiar corporate language and saying ‘pass.’ Flu protection matters. Blind faith in the next mRNA product does not. As RFK Jr said, NEVER take a flu vaccine.”

Ben closed with the longer view. “Public health depends on trust. When institutions rush products, minimize downsides, censor dissent, and then return with the same technology under a new name, they should not be surprised by widespread refusal. Truth-seeking requires examining both the disease burden and the full record of the proposed solution. For a large and growing number of Americans, the record of this platform has already answered the question.”

Luke wrapped. “We’ve covered the COVID shot outcomes, the myocarditis data, and the broader erosion of trust in mRNA products. This flu version is being received through that same lens.”

The team sat with the announcement. Michael Anthony nodded. “Crew Take?”

Sgt. Pat: “Prove it works and is safe. Trust is earned, not demanded. No one is going to take this. Moderna is going to be in trouble and they need the power of government to force or push this on people. I’m never allowing it.”

Alex: “Or keep rebranding the same platform and wonder why people walk away. Big Pharma needs a serious slap-down.”

Ben: “Evidence and transparency first. Everything else is marketing.”
