A Few Facts About Flu Shots
Vaccinations do not protect the elderly.
There is no conclusive proof that the flu vaccine prevents flu-related deaths among the elderly, despite the fact that 75 percent of flu-related deaths occur in that age group. Flu shots are thought to be less effective in older people due to lowered immune activity.
Most flu vaccines contain dangerous levels of mercury.
The CDC recommends that pregnant women, infants and children receive flu vaccines containing thimerosal. Thimerosal contains almost 50 percent ethyl mercury by weight, and is highly toxic.
The CDC’s recommendation is reckless, especially since the Institute of Medicine has warned that these specific demographic groups should not be injected with thimerosal. Most flu vaccines contain 25 micrograms of mercury, an amount unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds.
Mercury isn’t the only toxic substance found in flu vaccines.
Fillers commonly used in the manufacture of flu vaccines include:
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Phenol (carbolic acid)
Formaldehyde – a known cancer causing agent
Aluminum – a neurotoxin linked to Alzheimer’s disease
Neomycin and streptomycin (antibiotics)
Flu-related deaths are rare.
As part of the CDC’s campaign to promote flu vaccines, it employs the use of a slippery statistic regarding flu-related deaths. Lumped together in this statistic are deaths from flu and deaths from pneumonia. Actual flu deaths are a very small percentage of the total deaths in this category.
Pneumonia, which is not the same illness as influenza, is responsible for the vast majority of deaths the CDC would have you believe are flu-related.
How to Protect Yourself from the Flu
There is growing evidence that if you come down with the flu, you could be vitamin D deficient. The flu is primarily an illness of winter, when there are fewer hours of sunshine, and your exposure to the sun is often very limited.
It works like this. Vitamin D supports your immune system. If your vitamin D level is too low, your immune system has a reduced ability to fight bacteria and viruses. That circumstance can result in a “flu bug” taking you over.
One of the first things you should do to protect yourself from the flu virus is to optimize your vitamin D levels.
