“There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway.”
—J. Anthony Morris, Ph.D. Former Chief Vaccine Control Officer, Research Virologist, U.S. F.D.A.
Vaccine production for the flu starts in January of each year.151 Vaccine manufacturers have to guess as to which viral strains will be present based on the viruses that infected humans the previous year.152 It takes at least six months to manufacture the vaccine before the “flu season” which usually begins in October and November of each year.153 If the strains in the vaccine do not match the strains in circulation, the vaccine is totally worthless. If the strains in the vaccine do match the strains in circulation, well the vaccine is still essentially worthless. Let’s take a look.
Researchers in Japan studied children age six months to 24 months over the period of three years.154 They compared the vaccinated group to the unvaccinated group and concluded that the “Inactivated influenza vaccine did not reduce the attack rate of influenza A infection in 6-24 month old children.”155 The National Institutes of Health funded a study, which found that an infant’s immune system is “stimulated following natural influenza A virus infection but not after immunization with CR influenza A virus vaccine.” 156 In children under two years of age, the inactivated influenza vaccine had the same effect as the placebo. 157
Is the influenza vaccine effective for healthy people? The British Medical Journal published a study and found “in healthy people under 65 [influenza] vaccination did not affect hospital stay, time off work, or death from influenza and its complications.”158 The authors further stated, the evidence “shows that inactivated vaccines have little or no effect” and as far as safety, “little comparative evidence exists on the safety of these vaccines.” 159
Another article was published in the British Medical Journal in 2005 regarding the CDC’s figures on the annual flu deaths in the U.S. The journal started out by saying the “US data on influenza deaths are a mess.” 160 A mess? This is a complete understatement. The CDC’s annual flu figures are completely bogus, a lie, a number pulled out of thin air. The CDC uses scare tactics by predicting “dire outcomes” so more people will submit to the flu vaccine.161
“The CDC reports that the historic 1968-69 ‘Hong Kong flu’ pandemic killed 34,000 Americans. At the same time, the CDC claims 36,000 Americans die annually from the flu.”162 The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reported that the flu and pneumonia took 62,034 lives in 2001.163 61,777 deaths were from pneumonia and 257 deaths were from the flu!164 The NCHS data also showed that from 1979 to 2002 flu deaths ranged from 257 to 3,006 with an average of 1,348 flu deaths per year.165 The flu, according to the CDC claims the lives of the elderly in over ninety percent of the cases and the average flu deaths over a twenty-three year period (according to the CDC) averaged 1,348 deaths per year. This means that the chance of a person dying from the flu aged 65 and over is 0.00346 percent. Or in other words if an elderly person contracts the flu, they have a 99.99654 percent survival rate. Even if a person were to add in the deaths from secondary complications, a person over the age of 65 would still have over a 99.8 percent survival rate.
