ER Editor: A friend sent us this, in our opinion, scaremongering report about so-called Superflu, coming from an English-language source for the ex-pat community in France — ‘Super flu’ gains ground in France, vaccination urged. The title pretty much gives the game away as to motivation. Which we briefly address below.
****
A lot of negative publicity has been coming out about the flu shots recently. We are NOT endorsing products by the Wellness Company, but this short video shows Dr. Peter McCullough’s research-based opinion on the shot. Basically you are more likely to get more respiratory problems with the flu shot —
Influenza Vaccine Not Recommended for General Administration
This article by Michael Nevradakis of Children’s Health Defense from earlier in 2025 makes the same point —
‘Deeply Concerning’: This Year’s Flu Shots Led to 27% Higher Risk of Flu
People who received a flu vaccine formulated for the 2024-2025 flu season had a 27% higher risk of getting the flu than those who didn’t get the vaccine, suggesting “the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season,” according to a new preprint study.
The study of 53,402 employees of the Cleveland Clinic, an Ohio-based nonprofit academic medical center, concluded that the flu vaccine had a negative effectiveness rate of 26.9%.
Carl Heneghen and Tom Jefferson wonder why Anglo-Saxons are witnessing a Superflu scare at the current time. Even the WHO says there is no particular problem.

The Strange Case of the Selective ‘Superflu’
Dr Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson
Ignorant people or profiteers on respiratory viruses have written wagonloads of nonsense.
We have sought to expose as many as possible. For example, some of these ‘experts’ write that this or that virus ‘behaves’ like this or that. Does a chair in your home ‘behave’ in a certain way? Of course not. Neither do viruses, as they are not living beings lacking the capacity to reproduce autonomously (Year 2 medical school lesson).
But there is another, more insidious characteristic which is bubbling to the surface and is looking increasingly fake: Anglophilia.
The UK and Canada (apologies to the native and Francophone populations) seem to be subject to the ‘superflu’ carnage. A brief phone call to colleagues in the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain has confirmed that the ‘superflu’ has not been observed with any such commotion.
Oh, sure, you get the usual ILI winter spike, but no ‘carnage’. In Italy, the main topic was the war in Ukraine yesterday. Switzerland, which has joined the list of ‘superflu’ paupers, is more worried about the cuckoo clocks being on time.
The WHO’s take on the global situation reports “an increased proportion of seasonal influenza A(H3N2) viruses being detected”.
The WHO is a bastion of calm: “This rise coincides with the onset of winter in the northern hemisphere and an increase in acute respiratory infections caused by influenza and other respiratory viruses typically observed at this time of year”. It reports a rapid increase in A(H3N2) J.2.4.1, also known as the K subclade. The assortment of numbers is meaningless; what matters is the impact on disease severity. The WHO states the “current epidemiological data do not indicate an increase in disease severity”. So, what’s the problem?
We must ask once again: what is going on in the Sceptred Isle? The Government’s own data do not support any of the terror stories emanating from the UK or Canada. We have no answer; we can only put forward hypotheses which should stimulate comments from our readers. Here are 10 in no particular order.
- Dysfunctional NHS that drains taxpayer funds: A smokescreen is required to hide this from those who are being fleeced.
- The need to empty stockpiles to replenish them and to pass more government subsidies to the private sector under the guise of joint partnerships.
- Misinformation as a component of hybrid warfare is used to destabilise a country.
- Rule of pharma, as shown by the front page of Canadian surveillance. The front only mentions respiratory agents for which vaccines are licensed. Other agents’ data are there, but you have to dig and click.
- Incompetence, Teflon shoulder and the need to justify positions and paycheques.
- Corruption and theft.
- Opportunism: a shift towards research funding for major killers (cancer, cardiovascular disease, etc.) means less or no funding for infectious disease research. We need to jump up and down whenever possible, as we are running out of funds.
- Powerseeking, with a return to means of controlling the great unwashed through fear.
- A lack of ideas and strategy: the only one we can think of is to vaccinate, vaccinate and vaccinate.
- A mixture thereof.
This is an ugly list, but we cannot find any rational explanation for what we are currently witnessing.
Any ideas?

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
