Wow, that was ton of steps just produce a substance that isn't really needed. I'm not sure how that came off to every one, but that seemed to me a huge waste of money. Its these doctors that are constantly trying to get us to take these "Cure all " drugs that send us down the road to addiction. When the entire populist is convinced the only way to survive is using drugs its no surprise we have so many addicted to drugs and alcohol. Its no coincidence that more <a href ="http://www.calnarconon.org/">alcohol treatment centers</a> are popping up all over. These people need to realize that life can go on without the need to use addictive substances. You are fooled by the corporations into believing you need DRUGS to get by. Whether its for your mood or in this case a flue vaccine that isn't even needed. I get sick at most once a year if not every couple years. I never take a single flue or cold medication.

I wonder if the writer has ever been tested for mercury levels. Maybe it's time.

The shot can be dangerous. I know it almost killed me 3 years ago. Read the insert, their is a risk of death with any medical treatment. Better to live a healthy lifestyle and have a strong immune system. As for getting it as a child, there are no tests as to the effect on humans of giving this shot year after year. It contains Thimerosal and Aluminum both of which are known neurotoxins and build up in your system. The writer is correct there is no change in the death rate year after year with the flu shot.

There are many incorrect statements made in this article. First, the CDC has no say over what 3 strains of influenza are in the trivalent vaccine; that decision comes from the WHO. Second, even though seroconversion (meaning the development of a particular type of antibody response) is low in individuals over 65, there are hundreds of studies funded by the NIH showing protection in these individuals. I wish the author would post the source of their sole NIH study stating that vaccination of people over 65 is not beneficial. As an NIH-funded influenza scientist, I know this isn't true. People over 65 should absolutely be vaccinated. You may want to confirm your facts with a real influenza expert before you start passing out medical advice!!!
