Unfortunately the numbers don't lie.
The averaged effectiveness of the flu vaccination is roughly 40%. The average number of americans that get the annual flu shot is roughly 1 in 3.
Between 2017 and 2018 flue season the worst ever flu strikes with an estimated 80,000 deaths.
Taking 1/3 of that deaths sum is 27,666.66 and fleshing out the 40% saved by vaccination is 10,666 lives saved in that 1/3 flu death sample.
3,000 - 6,000 people will aquire one of the known syndromes caused by flu vaccination anually,
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
So, in the 2017-2018 flu season, 10,666 were saved while about 6,000 documented flu vaccinations resulted in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
We'll call it the 11,000 lives saved and 6,000 harmed year... from flu vaccination.
That was the best season results, in years where the death toll is much lower from flu, the damage done by vaccination via Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) exceeds the lives saved.
