Unfortunately, these media outlets are all recommending the horse pill for the masses - the dreaded flu vaccine. See our articles below and you may want to have second thoughts about vaccination. We have a better idea. See our website here.

The Flu Vaccine Likely Does Not Prevent the Flu, nor Protect Against the Vast Majority of Flu-Related Deaths

The conventional treatment for bacterial pneumonia is an antibiotic, not a viral flu drug, so to think that taking a flu vaccine will prevent death from pneumonia doesn’t really make sense.

“But the vaccine will prevent the flu, which will prevent the possibility of developing pneumonia,” some might say.

That sounds good in theory, but the statistics simply do not support this assertion.

Because study after study, and master studies that compile the results from several studies to get a more objective result, keep coming to the same conclusion: Flu vaccines DO NOT WORK, and in many cases do more harm than good.

In fact, one shocking statistic brought to light in this video is that BEFORE the CDC advocated vaccinating children under the age of five, the number of children dying from the flu was very low, and on the decline.

Then, in 2003, just after children aged five and under started getting vaccinated, the number of flu deaths SKYROCKETED. The death toll was enormous compared to the previous year, when the flu vaccine was not administered en masse to that age group!

How anyone can consider a strategy that yields a higher death toll to be a “success” is a mystery to me.

The Problem with Flu Death Statistics

However, as frightening as much of this may sound, it’s important to keep things in perspective. According to the statistics shown in the video above, more Americans die from asthma, and even malnutrition each year, than the flu.

Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grossly distort the facts about flu deaths, making the flu virus seem far more dangerous than is warranted. On the CDC’s main flu page, they state that about 36,000 people die from the flu in the United States each year.

But if you search a little harder, you can find the actual number of people who died from the flu in 2005 (this is the most recent data that’s available) was 1,806. The remainder was caused by pneumonia. In 2004, there were just 1,100 actual flu deaths.

The statistics the CDC gives are skewed partly because they classify those dying from pneumonia as dying from the flu, which is inaccurate.

How is the Flu Vaccine Made?

This is another area that many people do not understand or take into consideration before getting a seasonal flu shot.

In January or February of each year, health authorities travel to Asia to determine which strains of the flu are currently active. Based on their findings in Asia, they assume that the same strains of viruses will spread to the U.S. by fall.

At this point, U.S. vaccine manufacturers start making that season’s flu vaccine, which will contain the strains found in Asia. However, if the viral strains circulating in the U.S. that season are not identical to those in Asia, the vaccine you receive is a complete dud.

And to add insult to injury, you’ve just been injected with a laundry list of harmful ingredients.

What’s in the Seasonal Flu Vaccine?

The flu strains selected are cultivated in chick embryos for several weeks before being inactivated with formaldehyde, which is a known cancer-causing agent. Then they’re preserved with thimerosal, which is 49 percent mercury by weight.

Even many health care professionals are confused about this and are not aware that the preservative thimerosal is mercury. As a quick side note, one of my chief writers told me that, “the doctor’s office told me the vaccine does not contain mercury, just something called thimerosal.”

Please, don’t be fooled by this incredible ignorance. If you have carefully studied this issue there is a great possibility you may know more than your physician about this topic. Don’t back down if they tell you something you otherwise know to be true.

According to the CDC, the majority of flu vaccines contain thimerosal. Some contain as much as 25 mcg of mercury per dose. This means that it may contain more than 250 times the Environmental Protection Agency’s safety limit for mercury.

By now, most people are well aware that children and fetuses are most at risk of damage from this neurotoxin, as their brains are still developing. Yet the CDC still recommends that children over 6 months, and pregnant women, receive the flu vaccine each year.

In addition to mercury, flu vaccines also contain other toxic or hazardous ingredients like:

• Aluminum -- a neurotoxin that has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease
• Triton X-100 -- a detergent
• Phenol (carbolic acid)
• Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
• Betapropiolactone - a disinfectant
• Nonoxynol - used to kill or stop growth of STDs
• Octoxinol 9 - a vaginal spermicide
• Sodium phosphate

How Safe is the Flu Vaccine?

Serious reactions to the flu vaccine include, but are not limited to:

• Life-threatening allergies to various ingredients
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome (a severe paralytic disease that is fatal in about 1 in 20 cases)
• Encephalitis (brain inflammation)
• Neurological disorders
• Thrombocytopenia (a serious blood disorder)

Vaccines Innefective

Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccine shots...

Through its release of misleading statistics, the CDC wants everyone to believe that all of the people who died from H1N1 never received the H1N1 vaccine. That's the implied mythology behind the release of their statistics.

Many who died had already been vaccinated

The CDC is intentionally not tracking how many of the dead were previously vaccinated. They want you (and mainstream media journalists) to mistakenly believe that ZERO deaths occurred in those who were vaccinated. But this is blatantly false. Being vaccinated against H1N1 swine flu offers absolutely no reduction in mortality from swine flu infections.

And that means roughly 20% of the 11,160 Americans who died from the swine flu were probably already vaccinated against swine flu. That comes to around 2,200 deaths in people who were vaccinated!

Flu Can Lead To Worse Illnesses, Even Death

Unforeseen Dangers Of Colds and Flus

Colds and flus often pass in a few days or a week. Bur sometimes they drag on and lead to serious complications. Unfortunately, these complications and more serious illnesses are never expected. They always catch their victims off guard and by that time, it's too late to take preventative action.

A better approach is simply to ensure that you never get a cold or flu in the first place. "Yeah, right." you say. Well that's exactly what some people are doing. That's because there is a simple remedy that more people are discovering everyday that is enabling them to live without ever getting sick with colds and flus! The good news is it's not too late for you to be one of them. See for yourself at http://www.endfluenza.com


Swine flu is a respiratory infection which originates in pigs and can be fatal even to pigs. When spread to humans, it can have serious ramifications. A weak immune systems is the key to infection. People with a weak immune system are especially vulnerable. Healthy people with a strong immune system can be exposed to the same viruses and not get infected. So clearly the best cure is prevention.

Warnings

There are warnings everywhere, from government websites to medical reports and even mainstream media. But the problem is these sources all take the same approach: vaccines. Vaccines are not natural to the body and all too often cause severe side-effects and even death. Some people can tolerate them, but no one really knows until AFTER they have had the vaccine.

What You Should Know

Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It spreads from person-to-person and can cause mild to severe illness; and in some cases, can lead to death.

• In the United States, yearly outbreaks of seasonal flu usually happen during the fall through early spring.
• The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year.
• Flu viruses can cause illness in people of any age group. Children are most likely to get sick because their immune systems aren’t strong enough to fight off the infection.
• Some groups are more likely to have complications from the seasonal flu. These include:
• those age 65 and older
• children younger than 2 years old
• people of any age who have chronic medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, lung disease)
• Complications from the flu can include:
• bacterial pneumonia
• ear or sinus infections
• dehydration
• worsening of chronic medical conditions

Every year in the United States, on average:

• 5 to 20 percent of the population get the flu
• More than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications
• About 36,000 people die from flu-related causes

If flu vaccines are "safe", why so many warnings and side effects?

The government and the CDC claim that vaccines are safe. Yet, there are reported cases of people getting very ill from them. There even some reported cases of vaccines causing disease and death. Are you willing to take that chance? I'm not.
A complete list of possible side effects from both the flu shot and the nasal spray (LAIV or Flu Mist) vaccines are below:
The flu shot: The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are:

• Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
• Fever (low grade)
• Aches
• Nausea

If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last 1 to 2 days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it. However, on rare occasions, flu vaccination can cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. A federal program has been created to help pay for the medical care and other specific expenses of certain persons who have a serious reaction to this vaccine. For more information about this program, call 1-888-275-4772 or visit the program’s website at: "Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program".
The nasal spray (also called LAIV): The viruses in the nasal-spray vaccine are weakened and do not cause severe symptoms often associated with influenza illness. (In clinical studies, transmission of vaccine viruses to close contacts has occurred only rarely.)
In children, side effects from LAIV can include:

• runny nose
• wheezing
• headache
• vomiting
• muscle aches
• fever

In adults, side effects from LAIV can include

• runny nose
• headache
• sore throat
• cough
