Flu vaccine use has been on the rise since it came out on the market - everyone recommends getting one even though its benefits are questionable and its side effects serious. The benefits one might receive from the flu vaccines are negligible compared to the adverse effects that vaccinated people have experienced.
To manufacture this vaccine "Russian Roulette" is played in deciding what strains of the influenza virus to use each year. Then, the virus is put into a solution that contains thimerosal (a form of mercury toxic to the brain and the nervous system), formaldehyde (generally used to embalm dead things and highly toxic to living things) and Triton (a new substance listed as not suitable for human or drug use). In short, the flu vaccine contains strands of flu virus that may not even be close to what is coming this year plus an extra dose of toxicity to boot.
Yet, the CDC recommends the flu vaccine to be taken each year - but, aren't vaccines supposed to immunize you longer than just a year? Not the flu vaccine. Unlike the body's natural and permanent immunity to viruses with which it comes into contact, the flu vaccine only provides a 70-80 percent chance of temporary immunity, which may also be followed by an actual case of ... the flu. Common side effects of getting the shot include fever, fatigue, painful joints and headache - all common flu symptoms. However, the side effects don't stop there - some people develop what is called 'Guillaume Barré Syndrome', which occurs most often within two to four weeks of vaccination. GBS is an immune mediated nerve disorder characterized by muscle weakness, unsteady gait, numbness, tingling, pain and sometimes paralysis of one or more limbs or the face. Recovery takes several months and can include residual disability or may result in death. What the flu shot does is successfully suppress the body's ability to produce natural and permanent antibodies to flu viruses; thereby, weakening the immune system and creating a more powerful virus each year. The creation of weaker immune systems and more virulent influenza bugs is the end result of yearly vaccination for an illness that is common and best dealt with by the body's own immune system.
Proponents of the more newly introduced live virus vaccine known as FluMist argue that this may be a better, more natural way of receiving immunity to the flu virus. However, studies have shown that it is not safe to give within a 2-week period of receiving killed vaccines or within one month after receiving a live-virus vaccine such as MMR and chicken pox. However, those receiving the FluMist vaccine are contagious for 21 days! Reported side effects after receiving the live vaccine are, again, symptoms of the flu: in children symptoms include a runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, headache, irritability, decreased activity, fever, chills, muscle aches, and vomiting. Other adverse events that occur in children are abdominal pain, asthma, bronchitis, conjunctivitis, viral syndrome, otitis media (middle ear infection), and wheezing or shortness of breath In adults the most common side effects are a runny nose, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, fever, chills and tiredness or weakness. Aren't the side effects what they strive to prevent in administering the vaccine?
The body's natural immune system needs to evolve and strengthen by being part of the environment and vaccines weaken it, as the immune system is unable to protect the body from viral infections. When the vaccine does not serve to strengthen our immune systems, but disables them and they make the next generation of influenza viruses more lethal to the population, how do these vaccines make it safer for us?
