5 Reasons Why Ill Never Get a Flu ShotIf youre looking for a deeply scientific treatise on the flu shot, this isnt it. Some of these reasons are backed up by science, and others are an acceptance of that little voice of reason whispering Something just isnt right about this. As a reader, you are welcome to take my personal instinct with a grain of salt. I strongly encourage you to do your own independent research and come to your own conclusions. Look for sources that are not linked to the dollars being earned from these flu shots no Big Pharma funded studies, no CDC, no FDA. Check out the funding for the studies that you cite and then judge the findings accordingly. First of all, it just doesnt work. The propaganda machine will tell you that the flu shot is 60% effective, but this is a blatant manipulation of the statistics. This article published last year at Natural News explains how the numbers are massaged to present the picture that Big Pharma (who funds the research) wants presented. In actuality, the flu shot prevents the flu in only 1.5 out of 100 adults. You can wade through the abstract at The Lancet here. 1.5%. Let that sink in. That means that you have a 98.5% chance it WONT work. Why would anyone possibly have something foreign injected into his or her body with those odds? Part of the reason it is ineffective it because its guesswork. Scientists must attempt to predict which 3 viruses (of the over-300 influenza viruses that have been identified) will be the most prevalent during a given year. If you get the flu shot and are then exposed to virus #4-300, you will have no additional immunity to those. Natural News just published an article yesterday that tells us many of the people being struck down in the current epidemic have received vaccinations, which clearly did not have the desired effect. Secondly, there are horrible things in the flu shot. The flu shot contains some incredibly nasty stuff. Obviously it contains the virus itself, either dead or attenuated (weakened). But it also contains a host of other harmful toxins. The inclusion of these toxins is not speculation you can read the CDCs ingredients lists of the common vaccines in the United States HERE. Following is a little primer giving some information on the toxic ingredients that you can find in the CDCs ingredients lists. Take the time to cross-match these toxins to the vaccine that is given in your area. You have the right to request the ingredients insert before you take the vaccine or subject your child to it. There is a risk of terrible side effects. Id honestly rather take my chances with the flu than to have myself injected with something that carries the risk of such side effects on the off-chance (the 1.5% off-chance) that I might avoid catching the 1% of viruses that the shot protects me from. The CDC itself warns: Mild Problems If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1-2 days. Moderate Problems Severe Problems But what they dont tell you is that not all adverse reactions are reported and that when they are, the statistics are doctored to keep the do-good reputation of the shot untarnished. In searching the year 2011 on the CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System website (http://vaers.hhs.gov/index) it was found that 51 deaths were caused by the flu vaccines, along with 232 life threatening events, 116 permanent disabilities, 739 hospitalizations, 109 prolonged hospitalizations, 4,039 ER visits, and 6,221 not serious reports. According to the National Vaccine Information Center, fewer than one percent of all adverse vaccine reactions are ever reported.Source Also, consider cases like that of Desiree Jennings, the Washington Redskins cheerleader who suffered a paralyzing nerve disorder after receiving her seasonal flu shot. Not only did the industry refuse to compensate her for her trauma and enormous medical bills, vicious attempts were made to publically discredit her. Jennings was a fit and healthy cheerleader up until August when she got a seasonal flu shot. Ten days after the shot she began experiencing flu like symptoms, followed by severe convulsions and black outs. After seeing around 60 doctors, Jennings was eventually diagnosed with dystonia, a paralyzing neurological disorder that causes the muscles to relentlessly contract and spasm, causing extreme difficulties with walking, talking and general body movements. Despite the fact that doctors who vigorously examined her condition at both Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins confirmed that she was suffering from dystonia, and that the cause of the illness was her reaction to the flu shot, numerous apologists for big pharma have ludicrously claimed that her story is a hoax and that her disease is imaginary, citing no evidence whatsoever and having had no contact with Jennings at all. Next, I do not trust the FDA. FDA approval means less than nothing to me. If the FDA approves it, it just means that the company behind it has enough money and clout to get it approved. I do not trust the FDA to look out for the best interests of me, my children, or anyone elses children, for that matter. I wrote an articlelast year regarding the FDA and here are some of the observations that really show the agenda of the agency: MSMs Constant Endorsement And finally, when the media pushes it, I automatically decline. Seriously anytime there is a big hype or something is made to be mandatory, my gut tells me This isnt good. Look at all of the commercials for anti-depressants. Look at all the soothing newscasters telling us how we dont have to suffer. Look at how GMOs are being promoted as the answer to world hunger. Real journalism is all but dead and can only be found in alternative media sources. The mainstream media is Public Enemy #1, a group of corporate whores who put on make-up and a pretty outfit in order to seduce the public into believing what the puppet masters want them to believe. The media is owned by the same tie-wearing serial killers who own Big Pharma, government agencies and the financial industry. It may sound illogical but I firmly believe the MSM is complicit in the overthrow of personal sovereignty. Therefore, if something is heartily endorsed by them I am immediately suspicious. I refuse to be submissively led along by the folks on the tube. When they repeat something over and over, at the very least it requires close and careful investigation, if not all-out rejection of what they are saying. There is nearly ALWAYS an agenda and that agenda is nearly always one that crushes liberty or health in the name of power or money. Any mainstream article on the flu that you read states some form of the following: The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot. It is a not-so-subtle brainwashing. It hearkens back to the theories of Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. This programming has allowed many organizations to make the flu shot a term of participation, with little outcry from the public. Workplaces, schools and other activities across the US and Canada have instituted policies that force all participants to receive a flu shot. Longterm hospital employees have been fired for refusing to have the toxin injected into themselves. Children have been banned from pre-schools and daycares in 6 states. In brighter news, widespread refusal of healthcare workers in British Columbia has resulted in the province dropping the policy for the remainder of the year. I dont believe that all health care professionals and flu-shot advocates have ill-intent. I think that many of them have just sipped the mainstream media Kool-aid the tale-spinners of Big Pharma have slipped in just enough truth to make their theories believable. Many people are deep-down decent and have difficulty believing that such a perverse money/power agenda could exist. Mandatory policies of this nature always trigger a suspicious response from me. They whisper the ominous words soft-kill eugenics to me. No, I dont have proof of this, but Id rather err on the side of longevity. Ill take the risk of illness that my healthy immune system can fight off over the risk of being forcibly inoculated with whatever toxins the creators of these vaccines choose to include. Ill use my little arsenal of home remedies and come through it without the risk of long-term side effects that have yet to be discovered (or at least, have yet to be made public). What do you think about the flu shot? Did you take the vaccine? Why or why not? Please feel free to share links to any interesting sources or studies on this topic.

Eat right, eat more fruits and vegetables, keep active and wash your hands and keep clean. All I can say, is that those guideliness work better than a flu shot. How are you feeling now, being over a year later?
