Flu Shot Research 

"By 1853, Parliament began passing laws to make the untested vaccine compulsory

throughout the British Empire. Other countries of Europe followed suit. Once the

economic implications of compulsory vaccinations were realized, few dared to

disagree. Then, as now, the media were controlled by the vaccine manufacturers

and the government, who stood to make huge money from the sale of these spurious

vaccines."... Tim O'Shea, D.C.

What’s in the regular flu shot?

?Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses 

?Gelatin: known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually

?associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin 

?Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions,

?including anaphylaxis

?Formaldehyde: known carcinogen 

?Triton X100: a strong detergent 

?Sucrose: table sugar

?Resin: known to cause allergic reactions

?Gentamycin: an antibiotic 

?Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose vials

Do flu shots work? 

Not in babies: In a review of more than 51 studies involving more than

294,000 children it was found there was “no evidence that injecting

children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than

placebo. In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in

preventing the flu. Reference: Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy

children." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008). 

Not in children with asthma: A study 800 children with asthma,

where one half were vaccinated and the other half did not receive the

influenza vaccine. The two groups were compared with respect to

clinic visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations 

for asthma. CONCLUSION: This study failed to provide evidence that

the influenza vaccine prevents pediatric asthma exacerbations.

Reference: “Effectiveness of influenza vaccine for the prevention of asthma

exacerbations.” Christly, C. et al. Arch Dis Child. 2004 Aug;89(8):734-5.

Not in children with asthma (2): “The inactivated flu vaccine,

Flumist, does not prevent influenza-related hospitalizations in

children, especially the ones with asthma…In fact, children who get

the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than children who

do not get the vaccine.” Reference: The American Thoracic Society’s  105th

International Conference, May 15-20, 2009, San Diego.

Not in adults:  In a review of 48 reports including more than 66,000

adults,  “Vaccination of healthy adults only reduced risk of influenza

by 6%  and reduced the number of missed work days by less than one

day (0.16) days. It did not change the number of people needing to go

to hospital or take time off work.”  Reference: “Vaccines for preventing

influenza in healthy adults." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 

1(2006). 

Not in the Elderly: In a review of 64 studies in 98 flu seasons, for

elderly living in nursing homes, flu shots were non-significant  for

preventing the flu. For elderly living in the community, vaccines were

not (significantly) effective against influenza, ILI or pneumonia.

Reference: “Vaccines for preventing influenza in the elderly.” The Cochrane

Database of Systematic Reviews. 3(2006). 

What about the new Swine Flu shot?

?A new report from a WHO advisory group predicts that global

production of vaccine for the novel H1N1 influenza virus could be as

much as 4.9 billon doses a year, far higher than previous estimates.

?The report says that vaccine makers are expected to produce

about 780 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine for the northern

hemisphere's 2008-09 flu season for the 

June 12 Announcement: 

?The new H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine is going to be made by

Novartis. It will probably be made in PER.C6 cells (human

retina cells) and contain MF59, a potentially debilitating

adjuvant.

MF-59 is an oil-based adjuvant primarily composed of

squalene, Tween 80 and Span85.

?All oil adjuvants injected into rats were found toxic. All rats

   developed an MS-like disease that left them crippled, dragging

   their paralyzed hindquarters across their cages. 

?Squalene caused severe arthritis (3 on scale of 4). Squalene in

    humans at 10-20 ppb (parts per billion) lead to severe immune

    responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and lupus.
