FDA Asks for Warning on Flu Vaccines About Febrile Seizure Risks in Kids
by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., January 16, 2026
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants flu vaccines to carry a warning that the shots can cause febrile seizures in young children.
The agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) last week sent notices to several vaccine makers — including Sanofi, AstraZeneca, GSK and CSL Seqirus — asking them to add the warning.
CBER cited two postmarketing observational studies it conducted, which found that children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years faced a higher risk of febrile seizure in the day following vaccination.

CDC Vaccine Advisers Vote to Stop Recommending Flu Shots That Contain Thimerosal
by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., June 26, 2025
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, voted separately on thimerosal-containing flu shots for children, pregnant women and adults. All three recommendations passed with a 5-1 vote and one abstention. Thimerosal was removed from all routine childhood vaccines in 2001, but is still used in some flu shots, including those given to children and pregnant women.

Inactivated Influenza Vaccine is a Risk to Public Health: Cleveland Clinic Study Finds Thimerosal-Containing Vaccine Increases Risk of Influenza Infection by 27%
A major prospective cohort study from the Cleveland Clinic has delivered a direct challenge to prevailing public health dogma: this season’s influenza vaccine was not just ineffective—it was associated with a statistically significant increase in risk of infection.
Among 53,402 working-age healthcare employees tracked over the 2024–2025 respiratory viral season, those who received the flu vaccine had a 27% higher risk of contracting laboratory-confirmed influenza compared to those who remained unvaccinated. The authors calculated a vaccine effectiveness of –26.9%, meaning the vaccinated were significantly more likely to become infected.

Flu Shots Increase Susceptibility to Common Cold
Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Dec 04, 2024
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
For the past three years I have skipped the influenza vaccine and have noticed progressively fewer viral upper respiratory tract illnesses or common colds. In decades prior I had taken forty flu shots as requirements in medical school, residency, fellowship, and medical staff. Could the flu shot weaken or misdirect the immune system on a regular basis?
