This is an important read for everyone about the dangers of vaccinations – I just happened to come across this article in 2012 in an Explore journal article. Explore is a “Journal of Science and Healing”, which has a focus on “scientific principles behind, and applications of, evidence-based healing practices”, and is edited by Larry Dossey.

This article is unavailable on their website without registering and paying for their content (as of 10/14), but I finally found it reprinted here:
Health Beyond Vaccines, by Dr. Garry Gordon.

“A recent study published in The Lancet: Infectious Diseases showed that for every 100 people who are vaccinated, only 1.5 were prevented from getting the flu”1. Furthermore, the abstract summary states “Evidence for protection in adults aged 65 years or older is lacking.”2 However, this study does suggest that influenza vaccinations show 75% efficacy over 12 years of for the age group of 6 months to 7 years.2

Note that the flu vaccine is now marketed to all population groups, and especially the elderly, and this research study shows that it basically is only effective for children under 7!! So why then is it marketed to everyone? Capitalism is why, not true health concerns!!

Quotes from Dr. Julian Whitaker’s November 2011 newsletter: “several review studies involving hundreds of clinical trials and several hundred thousand people have concluded that, for most children and adults, there is little scientific support for annual influenza vaccinations. Even if they prevent the flu – a big ‘if’ – 80 percent of all flu-like illnesses are caused by viruses and bacteria not targeted by the vaccine.” and “Furthermore, many flu vaccines contain thimerosal, which is 50 percent ethyl mercury, the most toxic biologic poison on earth. Ethyl mercury is so toxic the EPA requires full protective gear and self-contained air for workers cleaning up 200 parts per billion (ppb). A flu shot contains close to 25,000 ppb!”

Basically there is more marketing hype than scientific basis around the idea that all Americans should get flu shots – keep in mind that I say ‘Americans’ – flu vaccinations are not done like this anywhere else in the world! (Why do you think even grocery stores are marketing flu vaccines? It is about $$$ and playing to your fear of being ill for a few days!!!)

Please think about natural alternatives to prevent the flu!! (And if you do get it, remember that there are herbal medicinals to help treat the flu too)!
