Should everyone get a flu shot?

    That depends on whether or not you believe that a flu vaccination is actually effective in preventing you (and other members of your family) from getting the flu. Experts estimate that this year's flu shot may prevent infection only about 10 to 30 percent of the time.

Much has been reported about the necessity of getting a flu shot, but no mention is made about the side effects of vaccinations. The U.S. government does not require vaccine manufacturers to disclose such information. The fact is that flu vaccinations cause much more harm than good.

     It all depends on the ingredients contained in the flu shot. Typically, the vaccine contains formaldehyde, aluminum, mercury, and ethylene glycol, or anti-freeze. These neurotoxins accumulate in the brain and have been shown to damage brain and immune system function. A flu shot injects these neurotoxins directly into your muscles, and oftentimes, even into your bloodstream, thereby causing the immune system to ignore the steps it would normally take to combat the flu virus. This creates greater risks to your health.

     Flu vaccines also typically contain phenols and viral contaminants that have been shown to cause cancer. There is also a link between Alzheimer’s and flu vaccinations, as confirmed by research conducted by one of the world’s most respected immuno-geneticists, Hugh Fudenberg, M.D. Dr. Fudenberg’s 10-year research found that the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease is 10 times greater in individuals who have had flu vaccinations for 5 or more consecutive years, than in those who have had only one, two, or no flu shots at all. This risk is attributed to the additive Thimerosal, which is a mercury compound. Flu vaccines contain 25 grams of mercury in each dose, an amount that is 250 times greater than the safety guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

     It goes without saying that the risk is just not worth it, especially when you take into account the fairly low probability that flu shots can prevent the flu virus. The Archives of Internal Medicine reports that although there has been a 50% increase in the number of individuals over 65 getting a flu shot in recent years, there has been absolutely no decrease in the number of flu-related deaths among seniors.

     "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine is thus far effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza," states Dr. Anthony Morris, the former Chief Vaccine Control Officer of the U. S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Underground Health Reporter
