5 Reasons Why I’ll Never Get a Flu Shot

5 Reasons Why I’ll Never Get a Flu Shot

If you’re looking for a deeply scientific treatise on the flu shot, this isn’t it.

I’m not a chemist, a physician or someone with an advanced degree in
biology. I’m just a mom with an Internet connection. I’m a person who
has researched and compiled an assortment of worrisome facts that point
in one direction: the flu shot is NOT beneficial.

Some of these reasons are backed up by science, and others are an
acceptance of that little voice of reason whispering “Something just
isn’t 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 doesn’t 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 WON’T 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 it’s 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 CDC’s 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 CDC’s 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.

• 2-Phenoxyethanol is an anti-bacterial agent being used as a
  replacement for the preservative Thimerosal (mercury). It’s considered a
  very toxic material that could cause a boatload of side effects,
  including behavioral disorders … vomiting … diarrhea … visual
  disturbances … convulsions … rapid heart rate … central nervous system
  disorders … depression … kidney, liver and blood disorders … and
  reproductive defects.
  
• Aluminum shows up in vaccines in many forms – like aluminum
  phosphate, aluminum hydroxy phosphate sulfate and aluminum hydroxide, to
  name a few. It works as an “adjuvant” to stimulate your immune system’s
  response to the virus in the vaccine. The problem is … aluminum is a
  particularly dangerous neurotoxin. It has the ability to slip past your
  body’s natural defenses and enter your brain – potentially causing brain
  damage … Alzheimer’s disease … dementia … convulsions … and coma. Human
  and animal studies have shown that aluminum can even cause nerve death.
  
• Ammonium Sulfate is a substance commonly added to pesticides. It’s
  not known at this time if it’s cancer-causing, but it has been suspected
  of gastrointestinal, liver, nervous system and respiratory system
  toxicity.
  
• Beta-Propiolactone ranks high as a hazardous chemical on at least
  five federal regulatory lists. It caused lymphomas and hepatomas after
  being injected into lab mice, but its true effect on humans is not
  known. Due to animal study results, the International Agency for
  Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified beta-propiolactone as a
  possible human carcinogen.
  
• Formaldehyde is used as a preservative to stabilize the vaccine.
  It’s a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that’s mostly used
  in industry to manufacture building materials and produce many
  household products. Plus, it’s also used to embalm – and preserve – dead
  bodies. (Remember the frog in your high school biology lab?)
  Formaldehyde is suspected of weakening the immune system and causing
  neurological system damage … genetic damage … metabolic acidosis
  (excessive blood acidity) … circulatory shock … respiratory
  insufficiency … and acute renal (kidney) failure. It’s been classified
  as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by IARC and is
  ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds on at least eight federal
  regulatory lists.
  
• Formalin helps preserve the vaccine. It’s a mixture of formaldehyde,
  methanol and water. It’s mostly used to preserve tissue samples in
  health care laboratories and presents the same danger to your health as
  formaldehyde does.
  
• Gentamicin Sulfate is an antibiotic that ‘s been known to cause
  deafness or loss of equilibrioception (sense of balance). It can also be
  highly nephrotoxic (damage your kidneys) if multiple doses accumulate
  over time.
  
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) excites and poisons your cells and
  tissues. It’s used as a stabilizer in vaccines and is also found in many
  processed foods. MSG has been shown to cause retinal degeneration …
  behavior disorders … learning disabilities … reproductive disorders …
  obesity … and even lesions on the brains of lab animals. Allergic
  reactions to MSG can be severe.
  
• MRC-5 Cellular Protein is human diploid cells taken from aborted human fetuses. They’re used as a culture to grow the virus.
  
• Neomycin is an antibiotic that has been shown to have multiple
  effects on your body. It can be a neurotoxin and an ototoxin (affect
  hearing and balance). It also can cause respiratory paralysis, kidney
  damage and kidney failure. Plus, it retards your vitamin B6 absorption,
  sometimes leading to mental retardation and epilepsy. Some allergic
  reactions to neomycin can be life threatening.
  
• Octoxinol-9 is a vaginal spermicide.
  
• Phenol is included in vaccines to help stimulate immune response.
  Instead, it does the opposite – by inhibiting phagocytic activity.
  Phagocytes are your body’s first line of defense. They engulf and digest
  antigens and activate the other elements of your immune system.
  Phenol’s phagocytic-inhibiting effect actually hinders your immune
  system from properly dealing with the pathogens that are entering your
  body through the vaccine.
  
• Phenol is used in the production of drugs, weed killers and
  synthetic resins, so you can imagine the effect it has on the human
  body. It’s considered to be toxic to your cardiovascular,
  gastrointestinal, nervous, reproductive and respiratory systems … your
  liver … your kidneys … and your skin. Phenol is so deadly that is was
  used by the Nazis as a means of extermination during the World War II.
  Phenol injections were given to thousands of people in concentration
  camps – especially at Auschwitz-Birkenau – to kill those who were
  mentally ill, had incurable tuberculosis and were permanently incapable
  of work.
  
• Polymyxin B is an antibiotic with some nasty side effects –
  neurotoxicity and acute renal tubular necrosis (the most common cause of
  kidney failure).
  
• Polysorbate 80 (Tween-80) works as a stabilizer in the vaccine. It’s
  used in a wide variety of products including ice cream, milk products,
  vitamin tablets, lotions and creams and medical products like vaccines
  and anti-cancer medications. But it’s not as safe as it sounds.
  According to the December 2005 issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma and
  Immunology, polysorbate 80 can affect your immune system and cause
  severe anaphylactic shock, which can kill. It also causes cancer in
  animals.
  
• Streptomycin is an antibiotic. Its main side effect is ototoxicity – the loss of hearing.
  
• Thimerosal is used as a preservative in the vaccine. It contains
  49.6% mercury by weight and has been implicated in many health
  conditions, such as cardiovascular disease … autism … seizures … mental
  retardation … hyperactivity … dyslexia … and many more nervous system
  conditions. The mercury used in vaccines is second in toxicity only to
  the radioactive substance, Uranium. It’s a powerful neurotoxin that can
  damage the entire nervous system of an infant in no time.
  
• Plus, the inclusion of aluminum and even formaldehyde with the
  mercury in the vaccine magnifies the problem. Aluminum can make the
  mercury 100 times more toxic. Toss in formaldehyde as well, and one
  independent study found that mercury toxicity was increased by 1,000
  times. Source
  

There is a risk of terrible side effects.

I’d 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

• soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
  
• hoarseness; sore, red or itchy eyes; cough
  
• fever
  
• aches
  
• headache
  
• itching
  
• fatigue
  

If these problems occur, they usually begin soon after the shot and last 1-2 days.

Moderate Problems

• Young children who get inactivated flu vaccine and pneumococcal
  vaccine (PCV13) at the same time appear to be at increased risk for
  seizures caused by fever. Ask your doctor for more information.
  
• Tell your doctor if a child who is getting flu vaccine has ever had a seizure.
  

Severe Problems

• Life-threatening allergic reactions from vaccines are very rare.
  If they do occur, it is usually within a few minutes to a few hours
  after the shot.
  
• In 1976, a type of inactivated influenza (swine flu) vaccine was
  associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Since then, flu vaccines
  have not been clearly linked to GBS. However, if there is a risk of GBS
  from current flu vaccines, it would be no more than 1 or 2 cases per
  million people vaccinated. This is much lower than the risk of severe
  influenza, which can be prevented by vaccination.
  

But what they don’t 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.
<blockquote class="tr_bq">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</blockquote>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.
<blockquote class="tr_bq">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. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">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.</blockquote>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 else’s children, for that matter. I
wrote an article last year regarding the FDA and here are some of the observations that really show the agenda of the agency:

• The FDA wants to be in control of ALL things ingested by the
  American people. The FDA is simply an enforcing tentacle of the big
  business organized crime syndicate that actually runs the United States,
  and is thus complicit in the plans of the New World Order.
  
• The FDA can overlook the horrible side effects and suicides caused
  by anti-depressant pharmaceuticals while attempting to ban the sale of
  St. John’s Wort, a remedy that has been used successfully for hundreds
  of years.
  
• The FDA can bypass the deadly e-coli outbreaks occurring in massive
  factory farms where the animals are squeezed in so compactly that they
  can’t turn around, but they want to prosecute an organic farmer for
  using manure as compost.
  
• The FDA can cheerfully tell the American people, “Don’t worry,
  there’s nothing to see here” with regard to the ever-rising radiation
  levels in milk but they want to raid the dairies of an Amish man who
  sells milk right from the cow, as it has been consumed for centuries.
  
• The FDA wholeheartedly supports genetic modification of our crops
  and livestock. The FDA endorses additives and preservatives. The FDA
  promotes chemical pharmaceuticals over gentle natural remedies.
  

MSM’s 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 isn’t good.” Look at all of the commercials for
anti-depressants. Look at all the soothing newscasters telling us how
“we don’t 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.

• “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
  
• “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
  
• “The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success
  unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly – it must
  confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”
  

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 don’t 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 don’t have proof of this, but I’d rather err on the side of
longevity. I’ll 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. I’ll 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.
