This Year’s Flu Vaccine Is More Dangerous than You Think

Posted on September 27th, 2010 by admin  |  49 Comments »

(This is the continuation of last week’s article Will This Year’s Flu Vaccination Plan Bring Protection or Deception?)

In 2009, people believed that the swine flu vaccine would protect them from the so-called ”swine flu pandemic.” The fear of swine flu was so great that the U.S. had 170 doses of the vaccine manufactured.

This coming fall, a more potent and more harmful flu vaccine is set to come out. In this natural health news article, Dr. Mercola reveals the potentially harmful changes for this year’s flu vaccine.

New Flu Vaccine, More Danger

In previous health news, Dr. Mercola highlighted the many dangerous ingredients of the swine flu vaccine such as squalene and thimerosal.

This year’s annual influenza shot will have three type A or type B viruses, including H1N1. It’s alarming, since this is the same vaccine Australia suspended for use in children five years old and younger. The vaccine caused high fever, vomiting, and febrile convulsion among many children.

Last year’s flu vaccine was associated with disorders such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, a blood disorder known as thrombocytopenia, and facial paralysis, or Bell’s palsy. This year’s vaccine is very reactive, so the very same effects may be seen.

It was also reported that expired or unused flu vaccines contained the mercury preservative thimerosal. The substance is so hazardous that it cannot be disposed of regularly. If such a vaccine contains something so toxic, you cannot guarantee its safety.

The Flu Vaccine Puts Elderly People in Peril

Pharmaceutical companies want the public to believe that the flu vaccines they manufacture will protect them from the flu. There is evidence, however, that the flu vaccine doesn’t work at all for many people–especially the elderly. Michael Osterholm, director of the National Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), admitted that the flu vaccine does not work on elderly people.

What’s worse is that people 65 years old and older will be encouraged to get a higher flu vaccine dosage this year. According to the ACIP Provisional Recommendations for the Use of Influenza Vaccines, dated February 24th, the Fluzone High Dose manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur will have four times the amount of influenza antigen, as compared to other seasonal influenza vaccines.

It’s ironic since the CDC explained last year that this age group has a lower risk of H1N1 infection as compared to younger adults.

Is the Flu Vaccine Safe for Pregnant Women?

Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, expressed her concern regarding pregnant women taking the flu shot. She claims that there are no scientific studies that have looked at the effects of H1N1 vaccine on pregnant women. The NIH was supposed to conduct research on the effects of swine flu among 120 pregnant women, but there are still no results or announcements.

It’s unsafe for both the mother and unborn child to take a vaccine without any scientific backing regarding its safety. Considering the miscarriages linked to last year’s flu vaccine, pregnant women should avoid this more potent strain of flu vaccine.

Vitamin D for Flu Prevention

Dr. Mercola has always stressed the many benefits of vitamin D and how it wards off the flu, even H1N1. In a Japanese study last year, a group of children who took Vitamin D3 were 58% less likely to get influenza A.

Pregnant women should also get adequate vitamin D. The American Academy of Pediatrics News recommends expecting moms to take 4,000 IUs of Vitamin D every day to ward off diseases and infections. It plays a great role in delivering healthier and stronger babies.

To get the recommended amount of vitamin D, you should have your vitamin D level tested. Find out more about Dr. Mercola’s vitamin D test and dosage recommendations.

Proper sun exposure, safe tanning beds, and healthy vitamin D3 supplements can also help you optimize your vitamin D level.

    I had heard Obama quote something similar when talking about the differences in opinion between he and former-primary-competitor, now running mate, Joe Biden. He said that he wanted to surround himself with people other than yes-men, so he could hear and debate thoughts different from his own.
