Flu vaccine propaganda is ludicrous to the extreme.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention constantly chides people to get their flu vaccine. Doctors and pharmacies get kickbacks to peddle the shot.
The CDC tells us that every year an estimated 5 percent to 20 percent of Americans come down with the flu, leading to 200,000 hospitalizations. That percentage range is a huge discrepancy. Five percent of 310 million is 15.5 million, whereas 20 percent is 62 million.
Although the CDC is unable to tell us definitively within 45 million people how many Americans annually contract the flu, it can tell us how many are hospitalized for it each year. But according to the CDC, whether 15 million people or 62 million people catch the flu, it’s always about 200,000 who are hospitalized. Odd.
Also odd, there are more than 200,000 iatrogenic deaths each year. That’s more than are hospitalized by the flu. These are deaths caused by medical errors, unnecessary surgeries, infections and adverse reactions to prescribed drugs. Unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for that, nor is the medical-industrial complex seeking one.
The CDC can also tell us that annual deaths from the flu range from 3,000 to 49,000. That would seem on the surface to make sense. You have a broad range contracting the disease and you have a broad range dying from it year to year. But what you aren’t told is that those numbers are guesses, pulled from thin air.
According to a report by researcher Peter Doshi, Ph.D., published in the British Medical Journal in 2013, of the hundreds of thousands of respiratory samples taken each year from patients diagnosed with the flu in the United States and tested in labs, only 16 percent test positive for the influenza virus. It turns out that most flu cases are actually caused by bacteria or fungus or any of a number of other things except the influenza virus being blamed.
Doshi wrote:
But perhaps the cleverest aspect of the influenza marketing strategy surrounds the claim that “flu” and “influenza” are the same. The distinction seems subtle, and purely semantic. But general lack of awareness of the difference might be the primary reason few people realize that even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the “flu” problem because most “flu” appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive.
In a good year, according to the CDC’s own estimates, the flu vaccine prevents flu about 70 percent of the time. But this flu season, the flu vaccine makers missed the mark. The vaccine has not been effective for the most common stain of flu — H3N2 — that circulated in the U.S. The CDC claims it has been about 33 percent effect, or about half as effective as usual. But that’s quite different from the number reported by Public Health England, which claimed 3 percent to 4 percent effectiveness.
The CDC’s numbers are grossly exaggerated. The truth is flu vaccines are essentially worthless at preventing the flu and are shown to have harmful side effects. According a report by The Cochrane Library, 10 people have to be vaccinated to prevent one case of the flu. According to a report published in The Lancet, flu vaccines prevent the flu in only 1.5 percent of cases.
And then there’s this: According to a report published in the British Medical Journal in 2005, actual annual flu deaths are measured in the dozens, not the tens of thousands as reported by the CDC. When researcher Doshi studied actual flu deaths, he learned, “'[I] nfluenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001 — 61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.” In other words, the influenza virus was actually present in only 18 of 62,034 deaths attributed to both influenza and pneumonia.
We’re already being warned that next year’s flu vaccine may be as ineffective as this year’s. In other words, it will hardly be effective at all. That’s because its manufacture began in late February. And, once again, researchers are taking a wild guess as to what strain will appear next fall.
The Guardian reported last month: “This time last year, (Dr. John) McCauley and colleagues at (World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Reference and Research on Influenza) were mulling over what to include in this winter’s flu vaccine. ‘We didn’t even know at the time we were recommending that this virus (H3N2) had started to appear out there.’”
Bottom line: Don’t buy the lie. The flu vaccine is ineffective at preventing the flu and can be quite harmful. Flu vaccines contain aluminum and mercury — both toxins, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The amount of mercury found in the GlaxoSmithKline Flulaval vaccine was 51 parts per million, more than 25,000 times the contaminant level established by the EPA.
Vitamin D3 and other natural supplements to help you reach peak immunity are much more effective and don’t cause toxic poisoning, Guillain-Barre syndrome and other afflictions.
