Benefits of Flu Vaccines

A new study claims that The effectiveness of seasonal flu vaccines has been overstated, have little or no effect on many of the flu campaign's goals, including reducing the number of hospital stays, time off work, and deaths from the flu and its complications.

Vaccination Programs against the flu Instead, it is said to reduce the number of flu cases, as well as related hospitalizations and deaths.

In the United States (just like in Spain), authorities recommend the flu vaccine for all children 6 months to 5 years of age, anyone 50 years of age or older, people with chronic health conditions, and healthcare professionals and caregivers.

The effects of influenza programs may be overstated due to confusion between influenza and other flu-like respiratory illnesses in published reports.

Furthermore, much of the data used to support the effectiveness of flu vaccines is flawed, because flu strains mutate from year to year, making it difficult—at best—to measure how well the vaccines actually work.

Comments by Dr. Mercola:

As temperatures drop across the Northern Hemisphere, conventional medical minds turn their attention to the seasonal flu and the promotion of useless, dangerous vaccines full of «trick-or-treat» additives —such as mercury and aluminum hydroxide—that your mind and body certainly don’t need.

Given the significant amount of time and money spent on promoting the vaccines, this new study cautiously argues that there is little evidence to support its use.

Scientists found that flu vaccines had little impact on mortality rates and hospitalizations among patients under the age of 65. And this research does not take into account all the harm caused to infants and young children—including autism.

So why are there so many «experts» touting the safety and efficacy of these vaccines? How did they get FDA approval? Because of pure and simple corporate greed and rampant conflicts of interest. Sixty percent of the members of the FDA’s vaccine advisory committee had ties to the vaccine industry. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry employs nearly 1,274 lobbyists, including 40 former members of Congress, and has spent $ 750 million over the past seven years on lobbying alone—more than any other industry—in order to influence laws and government agencies in its favor.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest related to vaccines make the Vioxx scandal—which killed 55,000 people—look like a picnic. This is most likely one of the worst scams ever perpetrated on the American public.

The potential for a negative impact on public opinion runs much deeper than one might think. If the average American were aware of the common ingredients in flu vaccines, they might think twice before getting one. In addition to the mercury and aluminum mentioned earlier, they may contain:

• Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

• Phenol • Formaldehyde

• Neomycin and streptomycin (antibiotics)

Filled with vaccines and condoms—literally—, They can kill you . Please don't be misled into believing that the only way to avoid dying from the flu is to get one dose of the vaccine.

The high number of deaths associated with the flu is just as outrageously exaggerated as the effectiveness of the flu vaccine against the flu itself.

The people who actually die from the flu do so because they are already sick and have compromised immune systems, and that certainly shouldn't be included.

The following tips are proven ways to boost your immune system and significantly reduce your chances of catching the flu this coming winter:

• Avoid sugar. .

• Get plenty of sleep. .

• Exercise regularly. .

• Eat according to your nutritional type .

• Eat garlic regularly.

• Taking care of yourself during stressful times. .
