That Annual Flu Shot Might Be Putting Your Brain at Risk
The same applies for children. In a large scale, systematic review of more than 50 studies in 2006 found that there was no evidence the flu vaccine was any more effective than a placebo. These studies involved more than 260,000 children between the ages of six and 23 months.
Cochrane published a stunning conclusion last year, stating the flu shots had, at best, only a modest effect in reducing flu symptoms or missed working days.
These reviews clearly demonstrate that there is reliable scientific evidence confirming that flu shots are not very effective and plenty of reason to suspect that some studies are funded by drug companies, and they are manipulating the conclusions.
The CDC also proudly announces that in 2010, more pregnant women received the flu shot than ever before. Unfortunately, most doctors strongly encourage their pregnant patients get flu shots because they don’t know any better, and they believe the information they are told without question.
However, the recent studies call into question the “wisdom” of giving flu shots to pregnant women. This recent review of studies showed significant increases in the CRP and other markers of inflammation following influenza vaccinations. Preterm births, as well as preeclampsia, both have inflammatory components, leading many researchers to believe that flu shots might be causing a greater inflammatory response – the outcomes of which are severe..
Aluminum is added to flu vaccines in order to improve your body’s immune response to the antigen. By improving your immune response, the vaccine manufacturer can use smaller amounts of the antigen, which makes production of the vaccine less expensive to produce.
Any possible vaccine benefits are being overrated, and the risk of potential adverse side effects, including developing dementia and other neurological problems years later, have been understated or underestimated.
