This is a fiction, and whether or not the flu shot is effective can be determined by flipping a coin, heads it is effective, tails it is ineffective. And those are about the odds for claimed effectiveness, very similar to placebo.
If the flu shot offers any protection, beyond the placebo effect, it is about 1 out 100. Truly, if 100 people are exposed to the flu, 2 people will most likely succumb to Influenza. That is 2 out of 100. If all 100 people in the test have the flu shot, it is most likely that 1 person will likely succumb to Influenza. That is 1 out 100.
The flu experts and media take this information and claim that taking the flu shot ups your chances by FIFTY PERCENT! (Using the logic that 2 out of 100 down to 1 out of 100 is chopping the number in half.) The truth is that looked at in the proper way, without a flu shot you have a 98% chance of NOT getting the flu, and with a flu shot the statistics change very little, you have a 99% chance of not catching the flu. That is a 1% difference. Is it accurately portrayed in the media? Absolutely not. Is it efficacious, beyond placebo levels? Absolutely NOT.
The efficacy of the flu vaccine is a myth (and a lot of money is invested every year in propping up that myth, money and lies) but more, it is an intentional lie to vaccinate as many people as possible, vaccinate them with a brew that has dangerous amounts of mercury (any amount of mercury is dangerous, but they will 10X this amount), contains aluminum (and will undoubtedly link to Alzheimers), as well as many more toxic chemicals and dangerous ingredients. All of this to boost your "protection" by a factor of 1%. They say it is safe, for children, for pregnant women—injections of mercury and aluminum, safe? It sounds diabolical to me, at conspiratorial levels. If there has ever been fodder for the existence of an Illuminati, an approaching New World Order, you have very strong evidence in the dangerous, worthless flu shot.
Wash your hands, this is what you hear alongside the flu vaccine claim, and unfortunately, this too, alas, is a fiction. Washing your hands does not protect you from the flu, nor does it aid in fighting the flu once you are infected. Washing your hands is a good idea, it is something you should practice, but it is not a very good protection against catching influenza. Wash your hands until the cows come home, and breathe in after someone coughs and all that handwashing did you nothing.
Vitamin D is a proven tripping point (hampering and hindering) for the flu. Vitamin D does not kill the flu, nor will it cure the flu, but it does aid the body in defending against the flu. Vitamin D consumption and bodily generation via sunlight is far more effective in preventing the flu than flu vaccination, or washing the hands. You can catch Influenza by touching things and then touching your mouth, but contrary to pop wisdom, this is not the chief way that Influenza is contracted. Do you breathe? Do you intake air? Boom, you are compromised, and washing your hands until your skin rubs down to the bones will do nothing against the Influenza virus that just landed on your eye, or was sucked up your nose, or struck you from that sneeze originating 30 feet away.
Hot-steam vaporizers are a proven tripping point for the flu. Influenza virus does not appreciate hot steam, balmy atmosphere, and warm air. Flu much prefers a cold, dry setting. You will notice that the media does not inform you to protect yourself against influenza using inexpensive hot-steam vaporizers, and yet the vaporizer is a much more effective tool than either the flu vaccination or washing of the hands.
Green tea effectively counteracts influenza. Note, green tea does not defeat nor inoculate against the flu, but it is another tripping point. Drinking green tea while suffering infection with the flu aids in hydrating the body.
The herb ginger is another good tripping point for the flu. Ginger strengthens the human immune system. Ginger soothes the stomach, aiding in the retention of life-giving hydration. Even when you have a fever, ginger will aid you in stomaching necessary water. Nauseous due to fever, or stomach flu? Ginger, add it to your tea, take it in spice form (add it to your food), and swallow organic ginger capsules (available inexpensively at most health-food stores). Ginger is an effective tool to aid in fighting the flu.
Elderberry (Sambucus) is a proven tool to use in fighting against the flu. Proven via studies, in the field against actual influenza outbreaks, as well as anecdotal wisdom. A natural distillation from common berries, nature aiding in battling the horrors that man inadvertently leashes upon the world.
Natural, raw, organic, unfiltered honey is the best remedy for the worst cough. Honey strengthens the body and the immune system (and it tastes pretty good). Take it by the teaspoonful. Add it to your green tea (with ginger). Honey is a proven remedy.
Fight the flu. Do not attempt to placebo your way to safety where the flu is concerned. Forget the sugar pills, and go directly to the very real time-tested remedies in defending your family against influenza.
