Flu Shot? Read THIS First!
It’s no secret that I’m opposed to the flu shot.
But every year, starting in the next month or so, you’ll be bombarded with propaganda pushing these dangerous shots.
That’s why every year, I like to remind you of why you should keep your sleeves rolled down and JUST SAY NO.
Here are 6 of the biggies.
#1 They just DON’T work!
One study showed that children who got the flu shot were just as likely to get the flu as those who didn’t.
Another study in the elderly showed that—despite a 15% increase in the number of people getting vaccinated over the past 40 years or so—it hasn’t put a dent in the number of people dying from the flu and pneumonia.
There’s a good reason for this abysmal failure… there’s no guarantee that the shot protects against the current strain of the virus!
The exact viral strain of the flu changes from year to year, but the pharmaceutical companies need to make the BEFORE flu season.
#2 Flu shots can make the flu harder to treat in the future.
Getting a shot year after year can make the virus mutate and become stronger (similar to antibiotics), making it more dangerous and more difficult to treat.
#3 The shot can actually cause the virus to spread.
This is especially true if you get the spray mist vaccine. As much as 80 percent of people who get this form of the vaccine “shed” the virus for about a week after getting the vaccine. That means that even if you never get the flu… you could be spreading it to everyone around you.
#4 It contains harmful ingredients.
One of the most widely talked about toxins in multi-dose vials of the flu vaccines is thimerosal. It’s put there as a preservative, but this mercury compound has never been proven to be safe, and in fact, has been linked to numerous health problems—including the sleep disorder narcolepsy.
#5 It contains antibiotics.
Huh? I know we’re dumping this drug in our food supply, but it makes no sense to put this bacteria-killer in a drug designed to kill off a virus.
#6 It dramatically increases your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
People who got the flu shot for 3 to 5 years in a row had a 10 times greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s compared to those who rarely or never got the shot. This should hardly be surprising considering that the vaccine contains numerous brain toxins.
The best way to avoid the flu is not by getting a shot of neurotoxins in your arm… it’s by arming your immune system—the same way our ancestors did for thousands of years before us.
One easy way to do this is with elderberry supplements. This powerhouse fruit has been shown to STOP the flu before it has a chance to make you sick.
