ARE FLU SHOTS SAFE?

FLU SHOT SAFETY

By Tedd Koren, D.C.

FLU SHOT CONTAINS MERCURY - A neurotoxin that damages brain and nerve cells.
There are 25 microgram of mercury per dose in most flu shots. That number is FIVE TIMES the maximum amount judged safe by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) for a 110 pound person.
A survey of over 9000 Americans found that this was unknown to an overwhelming. Lisa Handley (of PutChildrenFirst.org) son became autistic after a flu shot.

In 1999 government agencies called for the removal of mercury in vaccines. However, many vaccines are still permitted to have unsafe levels of mercury. Some of this year’s flu vaccines still contain mercury. (www.orgaincconsumers.org/2006/article_3400.cfm)

FLU SHOT DAMAGES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM No one knows the long-term consequences of repeated influenza vaccinations – it’s never been tested ( this is true of all vaccines). Repeated vaccination at a young age increases the risk of influenza in older age. This is possibly due to overall weakening of the immune system. However, NATURAL FLU INFECTION STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. (Carrat F et al. Repeated influenza vaccination. Epidemiol Infect. 2006;134(1):63-70. vaclib.org/basic/reteatedfluvax.htm)

FLU SHOT is linked to ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE. According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world’s leading immunogeneticist, the chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease is TEN TIMES HIGHER if you have had FIVE CONSECUTIVE FLU SHOTS. Dr. Fudenberg states that mercury in the shot causes the brain damage. (1st International Conference on Vaccination, September 1997, Arlington, Va.)

FLU VACCINATIN DURING PREGNANCY IS DANGEROUS AND USELESS Researchers found that vaccinating mothers does not reduce respiratory illness in their newborns or infants. “Maternal influenza vaccination did not significantly affect infant outpatient and inpatient visits for acute respiratory illness.” (Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med.2006;160:1277-1283.www.medscape.com/viewarticle/548801) It is not known if flu vaccines can cause cancer or mutations or cause sterility, reproductive problems or fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. It is also not known whether flu vaccine is excreted in human milk.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states “mercury in all of its forms is toxic to the fetus and children.” Yet pediatricians who tell pregnant women not to eat tuna to avoid mercury still recommend the mercury-laden flu shot even though mercury injected into the mother is able to cross the placental barrier and enter the fetus.


ARE FLU SHOTS SAFE FOR CHILDREN? In 1999, 25 children died from the flu in the entire United States. In 2000 that number decreased to 19, to 13 in 2001 and to 12 in 2003. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) began to push for flu shots for kids in 2003. The result: the number of flu deaths increased in children jumping to 90.
