Researchers discover that people get twice as much flu vaccine as they need
After all these years of needlessly shooting the flu virus into perfectly healthy people, researchers are just now discovering that the current vaccine dosage is DOUBLE the amount needed to be affective.
That’s right, according to researchers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, adults who received a half-dose had just about the same antibody response as those that got the full dose.
If you weren’t already questioning the research that these organizations point to in order to validate getting any flu vaccine AT ALL, hopefully this will raise a red flag.
This is a mighty convenient discovery… especially in light of the recent vaccine shortages. It seems that since 2002, vaccine shortages have kept many adults from getting the shot.
The study’s lead researcher, Dr. Renata J.M. Engler, says that the most beneficial use of their findings would be the potential to stretch the existing vaccine supply so that more people can get vaccinated.
My question is… against what?
Did you know that last year, despite the droves of people who got the shot, the flu season was the worst it’s been in three years? Turns out the virus that so many people had injected into their systems was completely ineffective against the flu.
When it comes right down to it, even a half dose of a flu vaccine – or any vaccine at all, for that matter – is too much. On the whole, vaccines are at best unnecessary and at worst potentially dangerous.
The fact that it’s taken so long for information this basic to come to light is just more proof that vaccines aren’t as “thoroughly tested” as you’ve been led to believe.
Big Pharma wants to export vaccines to Africa
Sounds like Big Pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has found a new, untapped market in which to sell its vaccines: Africa. Tests show that GSK’s experimental RTS anti-malaria vaccine is 65 percent effective at preventing infants from developing the infection.
According to the World Health Organization, malaria has killed 881,000 and has infected 247 million worldwide in 2006. The disease is transferred to humans through the bite of mosquitoes.
But as I’ve said many times, there’s a simple solution to malaria, and it’s not a shot in the arm. It’s DDT. If it weren’t for the U.S. government’s stupidity, aided and abetted by environmentalist cuckoos, malaria could have been conquered years ago. DDT is deadly to mosquitoes but not to any mammal, fish, or foul.
Killing the mosquitoes that carry the disease would be far more than “65 percent effective” at protecting African children. But the reality is that DDT or the draining of mosquito-breeding marshland doesn’t pay as well as pharmaceutical drugs. And you know full well that GSK will take a sizable cut of the billions in U.S. aid that goes to Africa to develop their anti-malaria vaccine.
But then, that’s the solution here in the U.S. – why should the solution in Africa be any different?
