A massive new study funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published last week in The Lancet’s eClinicalMedicine provides evidence that seniors vaccinated for influenza experienced more heart injuries, not fewer.
The findings come after U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cut American funding to Bill Gates’ vaccine syndicate Gavi, citing a 2017 study showing the DTP shot “may kill more children from other causes than it saves” from diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis.
The new influenza vaccine study analyzed over 8.1 million Chinese adults aged 65 and older between 2020 and 2022.
Out of those, just 170,011 received an influenza vaccine, while more than 8 million remained unvaccinated.
Researchers then tracked the rate of major cardiovascular events in each group.
The Raw Data Tell the Story
The most striking finding comes from the crude numbers.
When researchers looked at acute coronary syndromes (ACS)—a category that includes heart attacks, unstable angina, and other sudden cardiac events—the results were blunt:
- Vaccinated: 26.4 events per 1,000 person-years
- Unvaccinated: 26.3 events per 1,000 person-years
- Crude incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.27 (95% CI: 1.24–1.31)
That figure means vaccinated seniors had a 27% higher risk of heart injury compared to the unvaccinated.
This is the kind of red-flag signal that would normally demand urgent investigation. Instead, the authors buried it under layers of statistical adjustments.
