Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 FACTS ABOUT FLU SHOTS This article submitted by Luke Yount on 11/12/99. Email Address: Luke1028@... The flu vaccine, consumed faithfully by the public without question each year, has a disturbing history. The vaccine contains formaldehyde, a known cancercausing agent. It also contains the preservative, thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, a known neurotoxin linked to brain damage, GBS, and other autoimmune diseases. Aluminum is yet another flu vaccine ingredient. Mercury and aluminum are two toxic heavy metals that have been associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimer'S disease. Do you know how the flu vaccine is determined? The actual composition of the flu vaccine is based on an educated guess made by a consensus of about 30 public health experts. These " experts " meet annually with the FDA to predict which specific strains of influenza will invade the USA. If this sounds unscientific to you, it's because it is. Does the flu shot cause GBS? No, but the flu vaccine is a very strong link. GBS is caused by a virus from an event such as the flu itself, sore throat, gastrointestinal illness', diarrhea, other immunizations, improperly prepared foods (under cooked), especially chicken. Campy- lobacter jejuni (bacteria) found in chicken is a definate link to GBS. The flu shot injection has a virus in it, and when injected into the body causes the body to produce antibodies against " that virus injected " into you. The immune system (defensive antibodies) sometimes views the nerves as " invaders " , and attacks. The attack by the immune system strips the myelin coating from the nerves causing the paralysis, and other GBS symptoms. GBS is very rare and happens in about 10 in one million each year, but with only a 10% or less reporting of adverse vaccine reacations by doctors, the true vaccine damage figures are grossly underestimated. The flu vaccine targets the elderly people, age 65 and over. If some of these elderly people become weak, and start to have breathing problems, or paralysis, I just wonder how many will get the proper care. How many will die because GBS was not properly diagnosed? How many will not get the proper care because GBS went undected? Even if GBS is diagnosed, how many will get the proper therapy, plasmapheresis or IVIG immunoglobulins? Or even more frightening, how many caregivers will even care? Can you imagine being 75 years old in a nursing home and just got the flu shot......and you start having breathing problems, tingling in the feet and hands......who would you tell, and what would they do? Think about it. How many post-mortems will say " respiratory problems " .....and will not have " respiratory problems caused by GBS " . Yes, just think about it! <!--See my SuperSig: http://proxy.supersig.com/sig?45002326_45002140--> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
