FLU VACCINES: ARE THEY SAFE?

On 9 May 2009, the American Thoracic Society published the article, “Children Who Get Flu Vaccine Have Three Times Risk of Hospitalization for Flu, Study Suggests.”
The article, published on the “Science Daily” website, stated,

“The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according to new research.”

On 12 February 2017, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. published an article for the non-profit organization Children’s Health Defense that called attention to the dangers of Thimerosal, the vaccine preservative containing mercury, one of the most toxic substances on earth.
Among the key points made by Mr. Kennedy:

• “I’ve spent over ten years researching and writing about the mercury-based preservative Thimerosal, which is detailed in my book, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak. The preface to the book is written by Mark Hyman, M.D., and the introduction is by Harvard University neurologist Martha Herbert, M.D./Ph.D.
• Thimerosal is about 50 percent ethyl mercury by weight. Thimerosal exposure has been linked to attention disorders, speech delays, language delays, Tourette Syndrome, misery disorder, seizures, epilepsy, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, narcolepsy, heart disorders, neurological disorders, asthma and allergies. Over 165 peer-reviewed scientific studies show a link between Thimerosal and neurological injuries.”
• There is no known safe exposure level to mercury. Even if the flu shot contained only 1 microgram, it would still be double the amount deemed safe by EPA for a nine-pound baby. Furthermore, the ethyl mercury in vaccines is fifty times more toxic and twice as persistent in the brain as the methyl mercury in fish for which EPA established those standards.”

Despite the study by the American Thoracic Society and the peer-reviewed data presented by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vast majority of health care officials and doctors encourage everyone to get a flu shot.
Reuters reported in October 2010 that an online survey revealed 96 percent of doctors recommended the flu shot. More recently, in November 2019, USA Today reported, “The CDC advises nearly everyone over the age of 6 months to get vaccinated against the flu, except in rare cases of allergies or specific health histories.”
Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board-certified cardiologist in Phoenix with 24 years of medical experience, following up on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s medically-backed study, wrote:

“The flu shot is full of poisons that actually harm your body, not help it. Two of the worst are known cancer causing agents formaldehyde and thimerosal, which is actually 49% mercury by weight. According to the Center for Disease Control, the vast majority of flu vaccines include thimerosal. Some contain as much as 25 mcg of mercury PER DOSE. That’s 250 times more than the Environmental Protection Agency’s safety limit for mercury.

Flu shots also contain aluminum (linked to Alzheimer’s disease), Triton X-100 (a detergent), Betapropiolactone (a disinfectant), Ethylene glycol (anti-freeze), Phenol (carbolic acid), Octoxinol 9 (used in spermicides), and Nonoxynol (used to stop growth and kill sexually transmitted diseases). It’s like a laundry list of poisons injected into your body.”

Dr. Wolfson asserts that financial gain is the key reason behind the heavy push by health officials and doctors for getting the flu shot:

“Big Pharma is at it again and what you don’t know could kill you. For years Big Pharma’s formula has been: Huge Profits = Flu Shots + Flu Season + Scare Tactics + Massive Advertising.”

TRENDPOST: As we have noted since the outbreak of COVID Hysteria, the mainstream media and governments, while heavily promoting vaccinations, are virtually silent on the necessity of self-responsibility. Indeed, Dr. Wolfson also notes the need to boost the body’s natural immune system through proper nutrition and exercise rather than depend on a flu shot, which contains toxic elements.
