Flu shots may be detrimental to the elderly

I would guess that most of you reading this blog are probably already not interested in getting a flu vaccine. I know I haven't been convinced that getting a flu vaccine was a beneficial thing for me, so I don't think I've had one in over 20 years or more. Yet, there are still annual promotions of flu vaccines, even free ones! Sheryl Attkisson released a report on October 26, 2014 indicating that NIH researchers discovered nearly a decade ago that vaccines weren't effective, but the results of that study were not made public, and not acted on.

The National Institutes of Health study revealed that not only are flu vaccines not effective in preventing the flu in the elderly, but death rates for the elderly have increased as vaccination rates have increased.

Over the past 20 years, seniors getting flu vaccinations have increased from 15% to 65%, however deaths by flu have increased during that time-frame, not decreased. And, similar results have been found in other countries: Australia, France, Canada, and England.

You can read the study in full here.

And, it doesn't end there. Not only are flu vaccinations ineffective in the elderly, but our taxpayer dollars are going to fund the free and reduced-cost vaccinations! I would suggest contacting your congressional representatives and ask them to act on this study: stop funding ineffective vaccinations!
