Flu Vaccine Effectiveness/ Flu Vaccine Safety

 

A great deal of controversy surrounds the flu vaccination and the governmental policies surrounding its use. Consumers are asking these two  big questions, addressed here:

     1. Is it effective?

     2. What are the side effects or risks?
 

1. Is it effective?

Well, you would certainly think so, given the huge campaign currently underway to get everybody to get a flu shot. But there's lots of evidence to the contrary.

For one thing, the flu shot only stimulates antibody production for certain strains of flu. These are decided based on the best guess of the Centers for Disease Control in the US, the World Health Organization, and, operating behind those agencies, the pharmaceutical industry. The 2011 version of the shot includes three influenza viruses: H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B.

But the strains of the flu that actually make the rounds in any given season are not necessarily - in fact, seldom are the same as the ones in the shot. So if you get a flu shot, in addition to the various ingredients listed below, you're being given a (supposedly) 'mild' case of a flu that is most likely irrelevant to the present strains, and therefore won't protect you.

Then, mounting evidence reveals that certain sensitive individuals may be harmed, in some cases irreparably. These include joint inflammation, arthritis, anaphalactic shock and Guillian-Barre syndrome, which can result in permanent paralysis.

2. What are the side effects or risks?

Some of the risks from the flu vaccine come from the assorted ingredients it contains. According to Lawrence Polevsky M.D., the current flu vaccine contains:

Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses

Gelatin: known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin

Polysorbate 80 (Tween80(TM)): can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis

Formaldehyde: known carcinogen

Triton X100: a strong detergent

Sucrose: table sugar

Resin: known to cause allergic reactions

Gentamycin: an antibiotic

Thimerosal: a mercury containing compound. This is 49% mercury by weight, which is 250 times more than the EPA safe limit. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin implicated in severe neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, ADHD, and Autism.

According to Dr. Patricia Doyle, the Tamiflu vaccine contains:

Oseltamivir
Saccharin sodium (E954)
Sodium benzoate (E211)
Sodium dihydrogen citrate (E331 (a))
Sorbitol (E420)
Titanium dioxide (E171)
Tutti Frutti flavour
Maltodextrins (maize)
Propylene glycol
Arabic gum (E414)
Natural identical flavouring substances(mainly consisting of banana, pineapple and peach flavour)
Xantham gum (E415)

In Japan, the Tamiflu label warns that

delirium,
hallucination,
delusions,
disturbances in consciousness,
abnormal behavior and convulsions

may occur in children who take the drug.

Knowing these facts, you are in a much better position to make an informed choice in the service of your better health.
