Flu season is already here and its hard to separate the facts from the hype surrounding them. Their are serious questions that must be asked of anyone that recommends that their is little risk involved in vaccination. We need to be informed of the substances being injected in to us.
The Vaccine Virus
Each year, a new vaccine (gotta keep ahead of the game) is developed that contains three different viruses (one influenza B and two influenza A strains). The viruses selected for the new vaccine are chosen on the basis of an “educated guess.”
What’s in a Flu Shot?
The influenza virus eggs are tested for a variety of agents (between 23 and 31) to confirm the absence of specific pathogens. They limit the number of agents that are screened due to the shear abundance of potential viruses and/or bacteria. Screening for every potential agent would be cost too much, so if none of the tested agents are detected, the vaccine is reported as “pathogen free.”
During the manufacturing process, antibiotics (neomycin, polymyxin B and gentamicin) are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture. The final solution can contain the following additives in any combination: Triton X-100 (a detergent); polysorbate 80 (a potential carcinogen); gelatin; formaldehyde; and residual egg proteins. In addition, many of the influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal as a preservative. Thimerosal (mercury) is being investigated for its link to brain injury and autoimmune disease.
Does the Flu Shot Protect?
There are no guarantees that the influenza viruses selected for the vaccine will be the identical strains circulating during a given flu season.
Moreover, the majority of illnesses characterized by fever, fatigue, cough and aching muscles are not caused by the influenza virus. Non-influenza viruses (e.g., rhinoviruses respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], adenoviruses, and parainfluenza viruses) can cause symptoms referred to influenza-like illnesses (ILI).
Targeting the Elderly
The flu vaccine is generally recommended for persons aged 65 and older, and those with medical conditions who could experience serious complications from the flu. Medical journals report broad differences in effectiveness for the elderly, ranging from 0 to 85%.
90% of deaths from influenza occur among the elderly. Considering that nearly 65% of all deaths (from any cause) occur in this age group, it is nearly impossible to prove that flu shots significantly increase life expectancy in this group. The truth is that most people—young and old—will weather a bout of the flu without hospitalization or complications.
Flu Vaccine Now for ChildrenThe flu vaccine most commonly given to children is generally harvested with formaldehyde and contains the recommended ratio of 15 ug of each of the three viral strains, each dose of Fluzone also contains 25 ug of mercury.
Alternatives?
If you choose not to receive the flu shot, have a discussion with your doctor regarding other options. However, some simple and possibly quite effective things you can do for yourself to prevent the flu include:
1) avoid white sugar;
2) remain active;
3) get adequate sleep;
4) eat a healthy diet;
5) drink plenty of purified water daily;
6) wash your hands.
Drug use is so rife these days that it may seem like the things mentioned above cannot beat an injection or pill. You must remember that these aren't cures, they are just ways of ensuring your immune system is optimal and not compromised in an unnecessary way. This allows the IS to do what its supposed to do and protect you body.
What they don't want you to know is that 81% of Doctors and Nurses have refused vaccination.
Squalene, aluminium, and polysorbate 80 which is known to casue to cause infertily in mice and may explain the spike in miscarriages in pregnant woman who have received vaccines. Its all about personal choice and I honestly don't believe that people are offered a choice and are often scared into vaccinations. Sure their are some horrible diseases out there but if you take the decision to look after your body then you'll be equipped to deal with the various viruses and bacteria we come across. Yes it is survival of the fittest and no doubt without these vaccinations many would die. Quite simply though it allows people to forgo any need to live "healthily" as they believe vaccination will save them.
If you really believe that a cocktail of chemicals is what builds a healthy body then good luck to you. Aside from mercury, check out the other ingredients in vaccines paying special attention to the right hand columns of animal DNA being injected into babies and children.
