The<\/span>\u00a0lawyer is citing this\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0to support\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0claims about non-influenza illness.\u00a0The<\/span>\u00a0study has a very small sample size of 115 people, and\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0authors admit\u00a0that\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0results \u201ccould be an artefactual finding,\u201d meaning that\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0results could have arisen from one of several biases, including measurement or reporting bias.<\/p>\n

In direct response, a much larger\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0followed 3000+ people over six influenza\u00a0seasons, testing them for 19 respiratory viruses. That study concluded that \u201cInfluenza vaccination was not associated with detection of noninfluenza respiratory viruses.\u201d Boom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
