Flu vaccines practically useless

That is the link to this article, and much more besides.

Mike Adams aka the Health Ranger does some good work.

The scary part is that the vaccines are pushed for young

children, and thimerosal is being allowed as a preservative

in the vaccines. That is the preservative containing mercury.

When will they ever learn?

 

 

NewsTarget) Flu vaccines are largely ineffective in the populations for which

they are most highly recommended, according to a new study published in the Oct.

28 issue of the British Medical Journal.

Dr. Tom Jefferson, coordinator of the Cochrane Vaccines Field in Rome, Italy,

conducted an extensive review of previous studies on the effectiveness of

inactivated [dead virus] flu vaccines on hospital admissions, death rates and

time off work.

 

" We've got an exaggerated expectation of what vaccines can actually do, "

Jefferson said. " I'm hoping American and European taxpayers will be alerted and

start asking questions. "

 

Most developed and developing countries have influenza vaccination programs that

are believed to help reduce the number of flu deaths and hospitalizations.

United States health authorities currently recommend flu vaccine shots for most

Americans -- children 6 to 23 months; kids 23 months to 5 years old; those 50

and older; people with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, HIV

or heart disease; health-care professionals and caregivers; and anyone with

household contact of high-risk individuals, such as stay-home mothers with young

children.

 

Jefferson notes that recommendations for flu vaccines have significantly

increased in recent years -- a move he says may not be justified.

 

" I looked at the evidence described by systematic reviews and confronted it with

policy and I found that there is a massive gap, " he said. " Almost none of the

benefits that these policy documents list are actually given by inactivated

vaccines or, if they are, they are given in slighter measure. "

 

Consumer health advocate Mike Adams, author of " Conquering the Common Cold, "

called flu vaccine shots " one of the greatest medical cons perpetrated on the

populations of the world, " and questioned new U.S. policies pushing the vaccines

on young children and expectant mothers.

 

" Flu shots only prevent colds in about 1 percent of people who get them, making

them 99 percent useless, " Adams said. " They also inject unhealthy substances

such as mercury preservatives directly into tissues, poisoning the patient with

a chemical burden that accumulates with each flu shot. "
