Every year when flu season rolls around the public is barraged with newsstories about the reasons to get a flu shot. This year is no different. From coast to coast the headlines are blaring “Get Your Shot!” Within the past few months the CDC even lowered the recommended age for the flu shot to children as young as six months old. Basically, that means they think that just about everyone in the country should get the shot except for newborns in order to stay well.
I have been trying to counter the propaganda regarding the flu shot for a number of years and for a number of reasons. Here are a few of them.
2. The flu shot does not guarantee immunity. There is no evidence that the flu shot actually works. Pharmaceutical companies play a guessing game each year to try and determine which viral strain or strains will be circulating during flu season and that’s what they’ll put in the shot. The problem is viruses can mutate and change forms very easily so trying to guess which virus to protect against is analogous to a Vegas Craps shoot. Every year in recent memory, including the 2007-08 flu season, they have vaccinated against strains that have been proven to not be the culprit. According to a story written by Sheryl Walters for http://www.naturalnews.com/, “In 2004, The National Vaccine Information Center reported that the vaccine given that year did not contain the flu strain that caused the majority of flu outbreaks that year. A study published in the Lancet in August revealed that there was no correlation between the flu shot and reduced risk of pneumonia. Further, a large study of 260,000 children between 23 month and 6 discovered that the flu vaccine is no more effective than a placebo. This was reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.”
3. The flu shot helps spread the flu. The shot contains something called attenuated virus. Attenuated basically means half-killed. The shot has to evoke an immune response and therefore has to have some form of viral activity to it to stimulate that immune response. The theory is to give you a tiny dose of the flu so your body will build immunity to it. Anyone who thinks that they are not contagious after getting a flu shot is woefully mistaken. Most of the package inserts will even tell you that you may exhibit mild flu symptoms for a few days after getting a shot. There are also a percentage of people who receive the shot and get very sick.
“If children receive flu vaccine, it can be even more deadly because children are more sensitive to mercury and to the effects of depressed immunity. Flu vaccine in children causes an increased incidence in asthma by 200%. There has caused sudden memory loss in children and adults immediately after receiving flu vaccine. . .
“Very young babies are at extremely high risk because their brains are immature; blood brain barriers are ‘leaky’ and more sensitive to toxins. In the first two years of life, infants may receive 22 vaccines with as many as nine shots in one office visit. Many doctors feel this is criminal. . .
“Nasal flu vaccines are even worse because they introduce a live virus into the nasal mucous membranes only a few inches from the brain where viruses can potentially travel upward via the olfactory (smell) nerves.

I have been trying to counter the propaganda regarding the flu shot for a number of years and for a number of reasons. Here are a few of them.
1. The flu shot contains toxic agents that could be harmful to your health. The shot could contain aluminum, formaldehyde, thimerosal (mercury), ethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, antibiotics and other adjuvants. Ask for the package insert on the shot for more details or do some research on the Internet. None of these compounds are 100% safe to inject into your body, even in the smallest of amounts. A slew of research points to them being serious culprits in a number of health challenges, including permanent disabilities and death. An excellent source where you can learn more about all vaccines and download the package inserts is http://www.vaclib.org/.

This was reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.”
According to the CDC’s own data, preventing influenza with the shot in the past has only ranged between 30-40%. That means that 60-70% of those who have taken the shot in previous flu seasons were not protected from the flu at all. This flu season (2008-09), the CDC is making bold claims that the shot will be 70-90% effective. This is being stated before flu season really kicks into high gear, and it is being stated after last year’s shot was proven to miss the mark. Sadly, the failure rate is never given. Most in society have been conditioned to believe that if you get a flu shot you’re protected.

SHOULD WE VACCINATE OUR CHILDREN?
