H3, Segment 1 - Host critiques Big Pharma's new mRNA flu shot, citing past vaccine side effects.

from The Charlie James Show Podcast

In this segment of The Charlie James Show from Friday, August 7, 2026, host Charlie James voices strong skepticism regarding Big Pharma's push for a newly approved mRNA-based flu vaccine. Playing a news clip that details how mRNA technology allows for faster vaccine production compared to traditional egg-based methods, James sarcastically questions the claimed benefits and accuses health authorities of ignoring severe potential side effects such as anaphylaxis, myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. He contends that public health authorities and the media act as though previous adverse reactions were forgotten, referencing media reports of people collapsing after receiving mRNA shots. Additionally, James shares a personal experiment where he prompted ChatGPT about mRNA vaccine side effects, claiming the chatbot provided no answer, which he interprets as censorship. Concluding the segment, he expresses deep distrust in the FDA, arguing that regulatory agencies rely heavily on pharmaceutical companies' self-reported data and focus primarily on marketing claims rather than ensuring true safety.

Transcript Charlie James: Ah, it's quitting time! Yes sir, get your weekend on. Uh, welcome to the program everybody, glad to have you along with us. Um, let me see what I got here. Oh, oh, oh! Don't you love this? Uh, it's pretty amazing. The, uh, Big Pharma is now pushing the new flu vaccine. News Clip Reporter: What makes this vaccine different, and then how is this going to allow scientists to better help fight the annual flu? News Clip Guest: So, most flu vaccines are still grown in chicken eggs. And this takes months to do, and the farther ahead you have to plan to grow it, the farther head you have to predict what strains are going to be in there, which means your risk of a mismatch in strains is going to be higher. And so with MRNA vaccines, you can produce them much more quickly, means you can also uh update the vaccine more uh more efficiently. Um, just to give you some perspective, if we had a flu pandemic hit tomorrow, if you use the egg-based technology, it would take 18 months to produce enough flu vaccine for that pandemic strain to cover a quarter of the world's population. Wow. With an MRNA vaccine, you could do it much more quickly. Charlie James: How much more quickly? Tell us! How much more quickly? 17 months? 16 months? Tell us, tell us! Oh wait, I'm on pins and needles, literally. They act like we don't—they act like we have forgotten. They act like it! Oh my gosh. They act like we've completely forgot about anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis, sorry. They act like we completely forgot about myocarditis, pericarditis, Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barré. You act like we forgot all about those things. Oh, my goodness. Then they want to go, "No, no, no, we got a brand new—no, this isn't the—this isn't the COVID shot. This is the flu shot. That's the COVID, the flu, it's completely different. It's the flu. That was COVID, this is flu." Want us to get out there and want us to do it again. The same thing that Dr. Fauci, who by the way, after he got the Moderna shot, came down with, guess what? Heart problems. And I told—I told you, go back and look. Just go back and look for yourself. All those news anchors, all those reporters doing their standups, "Yeah, today at City Council they [muffled sounds]," and they're just gone, they're just out. They're lying prostrate right there on the floor. Look at them, falling over desks. World leaders falling over on the—I mean just... Hey, let me ask you something: Have you seen that since? Did you see it before the mRNA jab, and have you seen it since? No. No. It was only during that one little time period where you saw all these—these professional athletes, high-level athletes out on—out on the soccer pitch, just bloop, gone. Young men in athletics no longer able to participate in them because they've got heart damage from these vaccines. But they don't want to admit that. In fact, here's a—here's a little, little interesting thing that I did. Just a few minutes ago, I typed into ChatGPT, the AI chatbot. I said, "What are some of the effects of the mRNA vaccine?" No answer. Literally, no answer whatsoever. Just a little old spinny wheel right there in the—in the density, so... They don't want to admit it! There are certain things that are blacklisted on these chatbots, and that's one of them. You cannot talk bad about the mRNA vaccine. Can't do it. Uh, pretty amazing. It really is. And now they want to come out with a brand new, the flu vaccine. I have never had the flu vaccine, and I'll give you a little hint: I'm never going to get one. I'm just not. Now, you take your doctor's advice, but I'm staying away from those things. And every single time I go to the doctor, they always come out with the clipboard, because apparently that's the latest technology. Uh, they come out with a clipboard, "Um, Charlie, have you had your flu vaccine?" "No." "Would you like to schedule that today?" "No." "Have you had your shingles vaccine?" "No." "Would you like to schedule that today?" " ...
