The Flu Vaccine Myth
Why taking the flu shot may increase your chances of getting the flu, how statistics are distorted, natural ways to prevent the flu, and much more. A patient of mine just told me the shocking story that her own MD said to her that "we do not bother to distinguish between the common cold and the flu anymore." The reason? My guess is: BECAUSE THEY HAVE A TREATMENT FOR THE FLU, BUT NO TREATMENT FOR THE COMMON COLD! "Follow the money" is a good clue. Further, did your 'doctor' tell you that taking TAMIFLU, if effective at all, is only effective if taken the moment when you get the flu (days before you have any symptoms), and even in that case it may only decrease your symptoms by one day out of the average of twenty-one?! Did he tell you that it makes you infectious for days afterward? Or that the vaccine may only improve your chances of not dying from the flu by 1.5%? (Fact: it's easy to skew the data to make it look like 50%: for instance, a 50% improvement from 2.25% is 1.5%). Did he tell you the hackneyed old figure that 36,000 people die of the flu every year - but NOT tell you that for decades they have combined flu and pneumonia deaths into one? Or that 200 influenza-like illnesses that are not the flu give you flu symptoms? Why they passed a law so you cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer for deadly side effects. Why 'Dr.' Jenner did not invent a Small Pox vaccine - he used' cow pox', a different germ that only cow's get, and his first 'cure' died a few years later of a terrible neurological disorder. The disease, like most diseases, was almost totally eradicated already due to better hygiene, BEFORE the vaccine campaigns started. Jenner (who earned no medical degree) had friends in the British Crown business community who made a fortune by getting law passed mandating everyone in England get vaccinated so they could make a fortune. Read on and get educated, my friends...
