Flu Vaccine Maker admits vaccine is not proven SAFE or effective for children.
Ah…. flu season is upon us. A little earlier it seems, than in years past. Nonetheless, everywhere you turn you will find someone pushing the flu vaccine. We just received a letter from the school nurse seeking permission to vaccinate our kids. Bless her heart…. I love our school nurse, but it took every ounce of self control I had not to send it back with a note that said “Are you crazy? It’s not proven SAFE or EFFECTIVE and it contains harmful substances”
Truly, I am not a mean spirited person, just quite frustrated with the fact that people, drug makers in particular believe and try to SELL you on the fact that a pill or poke will fix or prevent your sickness and diseases. NOTHING could be further from the truth and when it comes to the FLU vaccine, I wish our medical establishment had the time to learn the facts.
Taken directly from the makers of the Flulaval package inserts, here are the facts.
1) ” FLULAVAL is approved for use in persons 18 years of age and older.” –
Did you catch that? It is only approved for person 18 and over – so why are they TARGETING children?
It also says:
2) “This indication is based on immune response elicited by FLULAVAL, and there have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL.” –
Uh… did I miss something? The vaccine maker cannot even prove that it works!
To MAKE matters worse, it also says this:
2) Safety and effectiveness of FLULAVAL have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers, or children. (8.1, 8.3, 8.4)
Did you catch that? It’s safety and effectiveness has not been established in children OR pregnant women or nursing mothers.
Add that to the fact that vaccines contain mercury and formaldahyde…..and WOW doesn’t that make for a good thing to give kids? Did you know that mercury can build up in your system over time? Do a search for MERCURY Poisoning sometime. Here’s just a little tid bit I found: “Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system of people of all ages. It has been demonstrated that high levels of methylmercury in the bloodstream of unborn babies and young children may harm the developing nervous system, making the child less able to think and learn. ”
If you go on to read the package insert, you will also find that OLDER people and immunocompromised people had a LOW antibody response to the vaccine. So please do tell…. who exactly would benefit from the vaccine? OH WAIT… don’t tell me… THE VACCINE MAKERS! Doh!
STOP the madness, stop getting duped and STOP the potential risk of adverse side effects.
If you want to protect your self and your kids from the FLU, clearly a vaccine is not the answer. So what is? The answer to that question is easy… it’s called a VIBRANT immune system, plenty of rest, healthy diet and exercise, and reduced stress. It’s really not that complicated. AND it’s much SAFER and EFFECTIVE over the FLU vaccine.

Question: What are you without an immune system?
Answer: You are dead.
As morbid as it may sound, it’s true. When your immune system is weak you will get sick. When your immune system completely fails you will die.

Vitamin D is 800% more effective than a Flu shot
The radar is going off today on several health/news site about a trial that was done on school age children and the effectiveness of Vitamin D3 in preventing Influenza A.
The study involved a total of 334 children. The results show 18 of the 167 (10.8%) taking the Vitamin D3 still got the flu. BUT 31 or the 167 (18.6%) taking the placebo got the flu. That means the Vitamin D3 had a success rate of 8% over placebo.
In fact the scientists say “This study suggests that vitamin D3 supplementation during the winter may reduce the incidence of influenza A, especially in specific subgroups of schoolchildren. This trial was registered at https://center.umin.ac.jp as UMIN000001373”

What I found interesting is that this study was done from December 2008 through March 2009. With the study results being published February 2010, the height of flu season. But did your Dr. EVER recommend taking a supplement to avoid the flu? NO? What did he/she recommend? A shot? Really? Did you know that the efficacy of the flu vaccine over no vaccination is only 1%?
Here’s the proof to that little-known fact:
(The combined results of these trials showed that under ideal conditions (vaccine completely matching circulating viral configuration) 33 healthy adults need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms. In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms.)

Most natural health practitioners recommend taking Vitamin D from Labor Day through Memorial Day. So with the flu season fast approaching you better stock up now, because I am hoping the word will spread and there will be a “run” on D3 this winter.
