Flu Deaths Outrageoulsy Exagerated to Increase Vaccine Sales

Who hasn't heard the dire warnings of the media that the flu can

kill

you and in fact kills over 36,000 people a year? I am sure most of you

have. Has anyone every gone to the government's web site, the CDC, to

confirm this number? Probably very few of us have. I know I certainly

did not, and was disappointed with myself for not doing so once I

reviewed the findings a lay person came up with after doing so.

 

If you go to the {CDC's main flu page

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm] you will find the 36,000 deaths

number and a link to the actual flu

table that has the death statistics. But if one goes to the more

comprehensive overall death report you will find that only 753

people died of flu in 2002. This is over 93% less deaths than the CDC

is reporting.

 

My guess is that they are including the pneumonia deaths in with the

flu deaths.

Seems like quite a reprehensible strategy to increase the sales of

flu vaccine that actually backfired this year because of bacterial

contamination in the British plant that produced the vaccines.

Fortunately there are effective

alternatives to the flu vaccine that will actually keep you healthy

in addition to preventing the flu.
