The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict:
1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots. A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are only able to protect against certain strains of the virus, which means that if you come into contact with a different strain of virus you will still get the flu.
2.) Medical journals have published thousands of articles revealing that injecting vaccines can actually lead to serious health problems including harmful immunological responses and a host of other infections. This further increases the body’s susceptibility to the diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against.
3.) Ever noticed how vaccinated children within days or few weeks develop runny noses, pneumonia, ear infections and bronchiolitis? The reason is the flu virus introduced in their bodies which creates these symptoms. It also indicates immuno-suppression i.e. lowering of the immunity.The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body against the virus.
4.) Its a known fact that Flu vaccines contain strains of the flu virus along with other ingredients. Now think about the impact such a vaccine can have over someone with a suppressed immune system? If you have a disease that is already lowering your body’s ability to fight a virus, taking the flu shot will put your body in danger of getting the full effects of the flu and make you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases.
5.) The Flu vaccines contain mercury, a heavy metal known to be hazardous for human health. The amount of mercury contained in a multi-dose flu shot is much higher than the maximum allowable daily exposure limit. Mercury toxicity can cause memory loss, depression, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances, respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases and many more such serious health ailments.
And what about the elderly? Can the flu vaccine help them?
6.) There is mounting evidence that flu shots can cause Alzheimer’s disease. One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots. Also with age the immune system weakens, thus lowering your ability to fight off infections. Introducing the flu virus in the bodies of elderly could have dangerous consequences.
Can we trust the authorities who are promoting the wide-spread use of flu vaccines?
7.) The Center for Disease Control appoints a 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This committee is responsible for deciding who should be vaccinated each year. Almost all the ACIP have a financial interest in immunizations.It’s all about the money and may have very little to do with your health and well being. The very people pushing these vaccines stand to make billions of dollars. This itself creates a doubt on how effective these flu vaccines really are?
8.) Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain. Couple this with drug resistant strains and you have virtually no benefits with much risk.
9.) There is enough evidence that shows that the ingredients present in the flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders. In the 1976 swine flu outbreak, many who got the flu shots developed permanent nerve damage. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu virus. Is this what you want to put in YOUR body?
10.) Trying to guess what strain to vaccinate against each season has proved to be no more effective than a guessing game. This has been very true in recent years with the H1N1 strain. Moreover getting multi-shots will only prove more dangerous as different strains of viruses and harmful ingredients are introduced into your body.
Flu shots are indeed more dangerous than you could think, and it is best to rely on natural ways to protect against the flu rather than getting yourself vaccinated.
Isn’t it interesting that the main stream public health officials never promote the various proven ways to avoid the flu other than through vaccination? How about spending some of the billions of advertising dollars teaching us natural ways to boost our immune systems and avoid the flu without harmful and sometimes deadly vaccinations.

Yep! I have a weak immune system and ive never gotten sick from it.
ReplyDeleteI am a Medical Technologist and the hospital I work at had mandatory flu shots. Well just my luck, I got the vaccine and got the flu. I guess I am not sure if I want to chance it again or wear a mask.
ReplyDeleteIf you are a Medical Technologist you should have the knowledge to realize that the "information" this article is of little to no significance. The influenza vaccination gives immunity to certain common strains of flu in the given year, it doesn't make you in to a flu-free superman.
DeleteThe reason you have to get mandatory flu shots is because the benefits of getting the shot outweigh the negatives exponentially.
Anybody who is taking this article seriously please do a quick search on google scholar for actual scientific journals and articles which will give you a factual basis upon which to decide whether or not you will get the flu shot.
Yes, because EVERYTHING you read on Google is accurate.
DeleteAs opposed to what you're reading here?
DeleteGoogle SCHOLAR is totally different. It is a database of peer reviewed scientific journal articles that are actually a good source, unlike this article.
DeleteThis article is a crap load of BS. All of the sources cited are self-referential blog pages, and none cite true scientific studies.
DeleteMost of these facts are either completely false or skewed. Notice how the post says, "medical journals publish articles…"? Please link the medical journals and the thousands of articles.
ReplyDeleteYes, the flu vaccine has the virus itself in it. An INACTIVE FORM of the virus = there is no possible way it can make you sick. The World Health Organization finds the three most common strains of the flu and puts them into the flu shot. When injected into your body, your immune system fights it off. When that same strain comes back to your body later, the body recognizes it and fights it off much faster. Obviously it doesn't protect against every single type of the flu, but it does protect against the most common, dangerous ones.
This article speaks about the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak. Hello….?! This is 2013. Let's base ALL our knowledge off of something that happened 37 years ago and see how far that gets us. Health professionals do promote "natural" ways of preventing the flu as well; however, the flu shot is the number one way to protect yourself and others against the influenza virus.
End rant.
I agree!!!! Check the facts people. The info this group is relaying is way off base
Deletebefore bashing this article, do your research into home, natural remedies. more effective and WAY better for you than vaccines and prescriptions.
ReplyDeleteITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY PEOPLE. look into the amount of money pharmaceutical companies make. and your family doctor for that matter. they make $$ for every script they write.
wake up and take control of your health and eat REAL food. use plants and herbs from the earth for healing and well being.
Yes, what medical journals? What about checking true references like the CDC. The flu vaccine is not a live virus, so it does not cause the flu. This information is bogus. Please people, check your references and don't believe everything you see on Google.
ReplyDeleteI am an RN and so is my husband and we both received our influenza immunizations. It is possible for you to get another strand of the influenza virus that wasn't covered in the immunization; however, we have decided to take our chances and prevent ourselves from contracting whatever diseases we can due to the face that we have a 9 month old that is in the high risk group due to his age. Just a thought: WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when Anonymous argues his point with himself. It's so entertaining!
ReplyDeleteNumber 7 is the only one that makes any sense at all. The amount of mercury in a flu shot is less than a serving of tuna fish. Where are all the people lobbying to stop the consumption of tuna? And all of the negatives listed here are miniscule when compared to the impact that a large scale flu epidemic would have on small children and the elderly. The flu vaccine is ten times LESS likely to cause Alzheimer's than GENETICS. Not getting vaccinated puts more people at risk than the vaccine does, period.
