The flu vaccine isn’t the answer
Influenza or the ‘flu’ as we call it is a contagious respiratory infection that is spread through coughing, sneezing, talking, or even touching surfaces contaminated with influenza. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year 24,000 people come down with the flu.
(It’s important to note that this is the first year the CDC decreased its usual report of 36,000 people getting the flu annually to 24,000. In their report Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC admitted to exaggerating these numbers for the past years and now says that 24,000 is a more accurate number. Food for thought.)
According to the CDC, flu symptoms can include any or all of the following:
- Fever
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Body aches
- Fatigue
- Headaches
The CDC, doctors, pharmacists, and drug stores promote the flu vaccine as the key way to avoid the flu and suffering from these uncomfortable symptoms. What you must know is thatthe flu vaccine has never been proven to ward off the flu or decrease its severity.When you get the flu vaccine you risk dangerous side effects too. In fact, some of these nasty side effects are much more to worry about than the flu.
Of even greater concern is that recent studies indicate that the flu vaccine is even less effective in the group it’s most pushed on who suffer the highest death rates from the flu – senior citizens.
