Should you get this year’s high dose flu shot?

You are going to be asked to take a special super duper high dose flu vaccine this year. Should you take it? And should you take a flu vaccine at all, or is it just a bunch of hype?

Let’s find out.

It may not seem that way, but February in a way is flu month.

That’s because February is when the United States Centers for Disease Control supposedly isolates the viruses that are causing flu in certain animal and bird populations, in order to approve those viruses for the production of the following winter’s vaccine.

In other words, in February, they decide what kind of virus you’re going to get when you get the flu, and that’s the virus they supposedly put into the flu vaccine.

So in this newsletter, I want to discuss the flu vaccine from several points of view. First of all, is it safe?

Second of all, is it helpful? Does it prevent the flu?

And third, is the high dose vaccine better?

I personally never get the flu vaccine.

And the more I find out about vaccines in general, and the flu vaccine, in particular, the happier I am with my decision.

In order to make a vaccine, the producers of the vaccine extract tissue from birds, and they crush it up, and they put it in egg embryos.

And then the embryos get sick with something, and so the researchers suck some of that tissue from the sick embryo, and injected in a fresh egg embryo.

And then that new egg embryo gets sick, so they suck up the liquid and tissue from that embryo, and inject it into a new egg, this is called the passage of the virus.

Eventually, they believe that they isolated in this final embryo through enough passages of the virus.

So then they simply take fluid from that sick “final” embryo, and the inoculate, or basically inject, millions of other eggs with that supposedly isolated virus.

But where’s a virus? Which one?

The whole idea of isolating a virus is ludicrous. First of all, a chicken embryo already has numerous viruses, maybe thousands, millions, or billions. Nobody really knows.

And there’s no way to isolate a virus.

What they’re doing is taking sick toxic fluid from one embryo and injecting it into another.

You’re getting concentrated versions of all sorts of bird viruses and toxins when you get this vaccine

There’s no way around that.

And what they do when they finalize the virus is test the vaccine for the presence of the virus.

But there’s no real practical way of testing that vaccine for thousands of other viruses that may be in the vaccine and probably are.

Perhaps this is why in the study, roughly 9% of people getting the vaccine suffered severe side effects

Should you get this year's high dose flu shot?I personally know several people who have had the flu virus and got very sick from it, often for weeks or months.

They’ve had very bad respiratory symptoms, and one of them had severe muscle weakness and muscle pain.

There’s really no way to know what’s in these vaccination things they’re giving us.

We know that they contain formaldehyde which is very toxic and carcinogenic.

Many of them may contain Thimerosal which is mercury in a very toxic form. And they contain all sorts of viruses and pathogenic compounds that nobody knows about.

In the old days, which is not that long ago, they were injecting people with polioviruses and the polio vaccine contained huge amounts of simian or monkey virus.

The monkey viruses are now being found in fatal forms of lung cancer, mesothelioma, and cancer in the reproductive tract of women.

Is there any way to know that today’s flu virus doesn’t contain toxic viruses from chickens, that could perhaps cause cancer or other diseases years down the line?

Nobody really knows. The government has a track record of consistently lying and covering up anything to do with vaccinations. So we don’t bother asking them.

But what I did was I went to this study which is totally funded by a big drug company. And even this study shows the problems with the flu vaccine.

In this study, they compare the very lousy effects of the standard of flu vaccine, with a new super high quality “extra special” vaccine (my tongue-in-cheek term for the supposedly high effectiveness vaccine being tested.)

Within 30 days of getting the high dose vaccine, 4 of the “high dose” people had died

Okay, we don’t really know why these people died.

None of the people receiving the regular vaccine died within 30 days so that’s kind of odd.

Of course, the drug company writes off the deaths for various reasons. They could never be connected with the “extra special” vaccine, could they? Of course, the drug company RAN this entire study, not a university, so it was up to the drug company rep to “call” a sickness or adverse effect.

The drug company put all of the so-called adverse events, the side effects, into a mysterious appendix to the paper which is not published.

So it’s very difficult to understand what happened with these almost 9% of people getting this vaccine,

Three…recipients had…cranial-nerve VI palsy starting
1 day after vaccination; hypovolemic shock
associated with diarrhea starting 1 day after vaccination;
and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis

That is just a tiny sampling of the adverse effects because they are hidden away in an appendix that was not published.

And a look at clinicaltrials.gov shows that as usual the drug companies have concealed the truth even though they published some of the truth in this paper. (The truth leaks out of these papers.)

One thing is for sure,

Both the regular vaccine and the “extra special” (called the high dose) vaccine produced a huge range of very severe side effects in about 9% of people taking them

So how effective was the vaccine in preventing the flu?

The answer will surprise you. I will quote from the study

In the full analysis set 23.4% had “influenza-like” illness and 51% had at least one respiratory illness

Oh wait,  so for the serious risk of horrible things happening about 9% of the time, you are going to take this vaccine, either the regular or the “extra special” vaccine, and about half the time you get a respiratory illness, and about a quarter of the time you’re going to get the flu?

What really would’ve made this study effective is if they had a control group of people that were similar to the study people, but were not getting the flu vaccine.

This would have been a randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of studies, and they would’ve randomly given people a placebo or the flu vaccine, and they were to follow those people for months or maybe a year or two years even, and saw how many of them went on to get sick with the flu or anything else, during the study period.

But they didn’t do that because that would’ve been showing that all flu vaccines are virtually ineffective

And I can prove this because there is a study of how many people who don’t get vaccinated get the flu. And you know what their percentage is?

Fortunately, I have that data from an excellent study.

Should you get this year's high dose flu shot?And here is the result:

Should you get this year's high dose flu shot?So, the people getting the flu vaccine for 2 1/2 times more likely to get the flu, then people who did not get the vaccine. And the people getting the flu vaccine had terrible side effects in almost 9% of the cases.

It seems to me that we might be better off not getting the flu shot.

Incidentally, if you decide not to get one, don’t blame me if you get the flu or you get sick. Where the flu shot does seem to work, is that for some people who take a flu shot, sometimes they do not require as much serious medical care if they have complications from the flu.

The number of elderly people who get complications and die from the flu is lower in people who’ve been vaccinated.

However, in total, it doesn’t seem to me to make sense to get the flu shot.

It just isn’t very effective, you risk a lot of side effects, and you getting who knows what type of viruses that mercury and formaldehyde injected and your body.

No thanks for me.

You make your own decision.
