This is hogwash. Which pharmaceutical companies does he have stock in and which

pay for his research. Any chance those same companies make the flu vaccine.

Dr. Boeve of the Mayo Clinic says:

" There is absolutely no evidence that flu vaccines contribute in any way to

Alzheimer's disease, and it is hard to imagine a mechanism of how this could

affect amyloid or tau. One blogger referred to excitotoxicity, but this idea

came from a non-physician making wild claims and selling a book for profit.

" Consider also that thousands of healthy people die from the flu each year, and

the vaccines clearly reduce the potential of developing the flu, and lessen the

severity of the flu if you still get it. The public must balance what is proven

and could keep them from getting very ill or dying as opposed to an unfounded

theory by a layperson.

" If this theory keeps one person from getting the vaccine, and then he or she

becomes very ill or dies from the flu, those who write or support such claims

have contributed to that person's illness or death. "

Not likely.

Exactly my point, I was being smart aleck. The CDC recently acknowledged that

mercury fillings can cause problems so somebody has to say some other source of

mercury is fine or else the public will attempt to avoid all sources and prove

the point.
