"In order to acquire more flu vaccines, the U.S. turned to (where else?) Canada. Suddenly, we were importing millions of doses of flu vaccines from Canada, which was perfectly okay with the FDA and U.S. government authorities. "Why was it okay? Because, they didn't want to take the heat for messing up the flu vaccine supply, so, all of a sudden, drugs from Canada were perfectly acceptable and deemed safe. Yet, when individuals try to buy drugs from Canada, those very same drugs are called dangerous. Fatal mistakes by pharmacists The other flaw in all of this involves pharmacists." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Mercury, in one of its forms, thimerosal, is still used in some flu vaccines and some over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Present until recently in virtually every vaccine children received throughout the 1990s, including hepatitis B, bacterial meningitis, diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus, thimerosal is now the subject of a well-known heated controversy questioning whether cumulative doses in childhood vaccines may play a role in autism and other developmental delays." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Tom Jefferson, an epidemiologist working for the Cochrane Collaboration in Rome, Italy, a nonprofit organization that conducts analyses of published clinical trials, led a group that performed a comprehensive review of the published data on flu vaccines. He concluded,5 "The optimistic and confident tone of some predictions of viral circulation and of the impact of inactivated vaccines, which are at odds with the evidence, is striking." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "In other words, the overuse of the flu vaccine is related to: (1) overzealous policy makers with good intentions but a lack of knowledge of the evidence; (2) the attitude that "it can't hurt"; and (3) the influence of the profit motive in selling millions of flu vaccines. Most cases of the so-called flu are actually "influenzalike diseases," that is, infections caused by viruses other than the flu that are not prevented by the flu vaccine. In addition, the influenza vaccine does not prevent the most virulent forms of influenza, the ones that can actually cause death." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"In an article entitled The Flu Vaccine Myth, Croft Woodruff presents the case that flu vaccines may actually increase the risk of developing neurological pathologies: ... according to Hugh Fudenberg, md, ... If an individual has had five flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times higher than if she had one, two or no shots. When asked why this was so, Fudenberg said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and most childhood shots)." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"For that reason, most physicians advise those who have had Guillain-Barre syndrome not to receive flu vaccines. While concerns over the ill effects of vaccines make up as many headlines as do our efforts to invent new ones, it nevertheless seems prudent to underscore how much society as a whole has benefited from wide-scale vaccinations before launching into a deeper examination of the growing data finding a causal link between vaccines and autoimmune disease. If you were born about a hundred years ago and came down with a case of diphtheria, your life would have been at stake." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Just adopt these simple rules: Before you vaccinate, ask about thimerosal Until thimerosal in flu vaccines is a thing of the past, you and your pediatrician have a responsibility to demand the right to a preservative-free, heavy-metal-free flu vaccine, like Flu Mist (www.flumist.com). For Dr. Jeffrey Boscamp, the chairman of pediatrics at Hackensack University Medical Center, the issue is incredibly simple. The question of what exactly thimerosal does to children isn't even relevant, he said. " - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Despite a 2004 campaign promise to the contrary, President Bush promised to veto the HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill, which includes a measure to ban childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal because of cost concerns. As for now, despite the warnings, flu vaccines which contain thimerosal continue to be recommended for all pregnant women, infants and children, even though the Institute of Medicine recommended in 2001 that these population groups not be exposed to thimerosal-containing vaccines." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"For example, it is standard practice to vaccinate children with flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, but in my opinion this is unsafe. It's also standard practice to vaccinate newborn babies with the hepatitis-B vaccine on the first day of their lives, but I believe that this is also unsafe. Safety can be greatly increased by following a few practical guidelines. Safety can also be increased by administering the vaccinations on a somewhat slower schedule than the standard schedule. The following safety guidelines are the general rules that apply to virtually all children." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Even after the woes that Big Pharma experienced between 2004 and 2007—the withdrawal of Vioxx from the market, the loss of half of the injectable flu vaccines because of quality control problems, and a growing public awareness of profiteering and an all-too-cozy relationship with the Bush administration—no one should worry unduly about the industry's fortunes." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Recently, the US has been stockpiling flu vaccines, yet these are not likely to be of much help. Influenza (and other viruses) constantly change their structure just enough so that the immune system doesn't recognize them. The mutation of viruses makes it difficult for manufacturers to predict which flu strain (out of the many hundreds) will make its way to the US. Flu vaccines are manufactured several months before flu season actually begins, so they may not be accurate at all for the incoming influenza strain." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Up until recently, mercury, in the form of thimerosal, was the most common disinfectant placed in vaccines (and is still in most flu vaccines) and contact-lens fluid. Other studies "prove" that mercury exposure from vaccines is harmless.29 Or is it? A recent CDC study in the New England Journal of Medicine appears to have been designed to show no harm. Notably: 1. They excluded all kids with autism from the study! These are the kids with the genetic susceptibilities to problems.These are the kids who can't detoxify." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, the government still allows thimerosal to be put into flu vaccines, and still recommends these vaccines be given to children and pregnant women. In addition, health authorities still cling to the accelerated schedule of immunizations. Despite all this, I am absolutely not anti-vaccination. I am simply in favor of safer vaccinations, administered properly, to healthy children, without thimerosal, over an extended time period. In this book, I will tell you about safer ways to have your children vaccinated. Please see Appendix #1 for more information." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The new formula for flu vaccines is called the "subvirion," which basically is a mutilated virus "blended, spliced and macerated" until just bits and pieces of the original virus are left. This in no way makes the virus less dangerous. In fact, the antigens or foreign proteins in the vaccine, for which the body is forced to produce antibodies, are still as poisonous and harmful as the live virus. Besides the subvirion, plenty of other substances are added to the flu vaccine, most of which you would never want to consciously ingest." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"According to a Department of Health and Human Services press release, "Pandemic virus will likely be unaffected by currently available flu vaccines that are modified each year to match the strains of the virus that are known to be in circulation among humans around the world." Normally, changes occur gradually in the influenza viruses that appear. A pandemic influenza virus is particularly dangerous due to the major, sudden shift that is seen in the virus's structure. This increases the pandemic influenza virus's ability to cause illness in a large proportion of the population." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"At any rate, over 50 percent of the time, flu vaccines contain the wrong antigen and will not protect you, and a significant number of the vaccinated elderly actually contract flu because of the vaccine. Elderly persons with pre-existing neurological illnesses, who have recently had surgery or who are recovering from an illness, should not have the vaccination. It will further lower immunity and can activate more serious latent viruses. Step Two: Improve Nutrition During Pregnancy You should take a good prenatal vitamin throughout your pregnancy." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "Refuse all vaccines, including flu vaccines, containing mercury (thimerosal). I always warn elderly patients against taking the flu vaccine. Instead, use nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet. It is much more effective and far less hazardous. Multiple studies have shown that the reason the elderly are so susceptible to the flu is because of age-related immune deficiencies, which I will discuss in chapter nine." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Although flu vaccines can never be accurate, employers encourage millions of their employees submit to a flu shot each year, trying to avoid the loss of working days. Influenza always starts in the Far East, and then spreads to the West in early winter, reaching its peak during February and March. It may come in either of three types, A, B, or C. During the last several years, type A has been the dominant version. What makes vaccination against the flu so unsuccessful is that the strains of the flu virus are different every year and the so-called protection lasts for only six months." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Some of these flu vaccines also contain mercury, which is highly toxic.102 A USA evaluation of the influence of vaccination on death from flu stated, "We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group."103 This was despite the fact that flu shot coverage among the elderly (those most likely to die from flu) increased from 15% to 65% after 1980. 104 Perhaps flu shots do save some lives, but there is little doubt that vitamin D would do a much better job." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Why is the United States government so anxious to invest billions in Tamiflu and flu vaccines laced with mercury? The Boston Globe reported that alarmed infectious disease specialists have indicated that excessive use of Tamiflu and other antiviral drugs could lead to the emergence of flu strains that do not respond to anti-virals, making both avian and regular flu strains even more of a health threat. Yet another reason for using a natural protocol is raised and as usual, ignored by medical authorities. Dr." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Suddenly, we were importing millions of doses of flu vaccines from Canada, which was perfectly okay with the FDA and U.S. government authorities. "Why was it okay? Because, they didn't want to take the heat for messing up the flu vaccine supply, so, all of a sudden, drugs from Canada were perfectly acceptable and deemed safe. Yet, when individuals try to buy drugs from Canada, those very same drugs are called dangerous. Fatal mistakes by pharmacists The other flaw in all of this involves pharmacists." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Vaccines made in this way contain live viruses (conventional flu vaccines are made from dead ones) and are administered in a nasal spray. Needle-free vaccination is appealing to many people, but is it safe to spray massive amounts of live laboratory viruses up your nose? If an influenza pandemic occurs in 2012, we might be ready. If a fast-moving super flu occurs before then, we won't be prepared. Even if we have a close match, vaccine manufacturers can't produce enough dosages fast enough." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"As for now, despite the warnings, flu vaccines which contain thimerosal continue to be recommended for all pregnant women, infants and children, even though the Institute of Medicine recommended in 2001 that these population groups not be exposed to thimerosal-containing vaccines. One in every six women of childbearing age has enough mercury in her bloodstream to cause neurological damage to her unborn children, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Normally, a group appointed by the Surgeon General—the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice—decided in January what flu vaccines should be produced for the next year. In January 1976, the group had recommended vaccines against A/Victoria influenza, with enough vaccine to protect the 40 million Americans who were over the age of sixty-five or who had chronic diseases. By the end of February, the four companies that make flu vaccines— Merck, Merrell National, Parke-Davis, and Wyeth—had already made about 20 million doses of a vaccine against the A/Victoria flu." - Gina Kolata, Flu : The Story Of The Great Influenza Pandemic (Get the book.)

"Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"Most people do not need flu vaccines." Splenda claim unsubstantiated and false." Broad-spectrum antibiotics pose serious health threat." Scientists say road salt causes disease." • "Seventy-five percent of Americans over fifty are pharmaceutical drug addicts." • "The American Medical Association admits prescription drug side effects are now the fourth leading cause of death in America." • "An FDA scientist admits Vioxx alone may have caused as many as 150,000 deaths. The FDA is virtually defenseless against similar catastrophes with other drugs." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"PREVENTION ¦ flu vaccines are offered yearly. These are sometimes recommended by family physicians for people who are most likely to be exposed to or endangered by the illness, such as health-care workers, elderly people, and people with chronic heart, lung, or kidney diseases. The flu shot itself may cause mild flulike symptoms. Also, since flu vaccines are formulated based on viruses that have caused outbreaks in the past, they may or may not be effective in preventing flu caused by this year's virus." - Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N. Spreed, MD, CNC, James B. LaValle, RPh, ND, Smart Medicine for Healthier Living : Practical A-Z Reference to Natural and Conventional Treatments for Adults (Get the book.)

"Swine Flu vaccination; put the legal defense job in the hands of the Attorney General; prohibited pharmaceutical companies from making "any reasonable profit" off Swine Flu vaccines; and ordered all individual immunizations to be accompanied by a signed informed consent form that "fully explained" the risks and benefits of the product. To mollify vaccine producers who did not take kindly to being ordered to forgo Swine Flu profits, the bill allowed "reasonable profit" for A/Victoria flu vaccines?reasonable" was never defined." - Laurie Garrett, The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance (Get the book.)

"And despite the vast experience of scientists and manufacturers, flu vaccines are only 70 to 90 percent effective in healthy adults—even less so in children, the elderly, and those already ill. So lots of people die. This bare fact wears on Cox, but she plugs away. "We know a lot about the influenza virus. Yet there is a tremendous amount we don't know. That's frustrating. The virus can still surprise us. That's what causes pandemics. And preventing those is what keeps me going." What scares her even more, though, is that the flu virus seems to be changing faster than before.
