The Flu Vaccination. - A 'Big Pharma' con job?
Winter isn't that far off, any day now they'll be coming for you.
Have you ever had the flu jab and then got the flu anyway? Quite a few people I know have myself included. It was years ago and believe me it was proper flu, not the kind when people have a day off work and then come in the next day. Don't you hate it when people have a day off for flu? It's a serious illness you ain't getting over it in 24 hours.

No it was the 4 days in bed, sweating, spewing and feeling like death kind, real flu. Right after I'd had the flu jab!
Why would that be? Surely I was protected? That's what they told me anyway. I realise there is a chance of side effects, however if you have the flu jab and the side effect is the flu what is the bloody point of having it? And more importantly does it even work?

I have my doubts.
There is a plethora of information available regarding the flu vaccination programme and many journalists and indeed Steemians have written about it, especially regarding some of the questionable and frankly dangerous ingredients it contains such as thimerosal and formaldehyde. However the point of this post is to question its validity as a protection against influenza.
This is an interesting article.
I've cut this piece for you to read as I found it eye opening. Please read the whole article to understand the reasoning.
It doesn’t work: The Cochrane Database – an objective, gold-standard assessment of available evidence has plainly stated, in TWO STUDIES, that there is no data to support efficacy in children under two, and in adults. Even the former Chief Vaccine Officer at the FDA states: “there is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza.” Liking the idea of being protected from the flu does not equate to being protected from the flu. That’s essentially what your vaccine-promoting doctor (or pharmacist) is engaging in – promoting an idea.
Promoting an idea! Very interesting , why would a doctor or pharmacist do that? Could it be that they are financially incentivised for promoting certain medical products regardless of their ability to combat the illnesses they were supposedly created to prevent?
This peaked my interest also. It is written regarding child vaccinations.
Again please take the time to read the 8 reasons as it reveals the pressure put on doctors to push for vaccines, not the flu injection in this particular article but it evidences the way doctors are courted by 'Big Pharma' and indoctrinated at medical school. If they act like this when it comes to the health of children they wouldn't have any more regard for adults, probably less.
A website named Dollars for Docs allows users to search its database by name to see if their doctor was given money from pharmaceutical companies. At this time, figures are available for the period from August 2013 to December 2014, and payments dating back to 2009 are available in the site’s archives. The site does not include research payments or shareholder interests, and payments to nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants are not included. Some doctors received millions of dollars in payments, and the staggering totals are also listed by state.
https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/
The following quotes are from the article and shows the manipulation that is used and encouraged to ensure public compliance.
The most worrying aspect for me personally is the implied threats of being fired by your doctor. A patient doctor relationship is often quite personal for the patient and the thought of having to find another doctor can be enough to get some to acquiesce.
Pretty dreadful way to act for a 'Professional' who you think has your best interests at heart.
“We learn that vaccines need to be given on schedule. We are indoctrinated with the mantra that ‘vaccines are safe and effective’—neither of which is true. Doctors today are given extensive training on how to talk to ‘hesitant’ parents—how to frighten them by vastly inflating the risks during natural infection … on the necessity of twisting parents’ arms to conform, or fire them from their practices. Doctors are trained that NOTHING bad should be said about any vaccine, period.”
"Doctors learn a lot about diseases in medical school, but we learn very little about vaccines … We don’t review the research ourselves. We never learn what goes into making vaccines or how their safety is studied. So, when patients want a little more information about shots, all we can really say as doctors is that the diseases are bad and the shots are good"
Thought provoking, disconcerting and just plain wrong. Moving on.........
Yet another interesting insight.
This section cut from the article just about sums up if you're deliberating whether to be the flu jab or not. They're always fighting last years strain and predicting how the strain will mutate is a million to one shot at best, so why do they keep pushing an ineffective vaccine?
The new study found that the vaccine is protecting just 3.4 per cent of people from flu.
Those who were vaccinated were slightly more likely to get the most common A(H3N2) strain that those who did not have the jab.
Officials said the statistic meant the jab did not protect them against the strain at all, but did not mean the vaccination could increase the chance of flu.
Slightly more likely to get the common strain of flu if you had the vaccine than if you didn't! What!? Why bother?
There are many studies/articles questioning the validity of the 'Big Pharma' vaccine push. This is interesting regarding the flu vaccine Tamiflu.
This is an other fairly damning finding.
Dr Malhotra also points to questions about the efficacy of Tamiflu – a flu drug the NHS spent £473m stockpiling. A 2014 report by a panel of eminent experts concluded it was no more effective than paracetamol
![image.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSLHMcLV5wEKxQJtdSuLapUnz4V9qkwJcFL6gBFJnK9w7/image.jpeg)
So the Britsh NHS stockpiled £43m (approx $56m) of a drug that was no more effective than paracetamol! A nice waste of taxpayers money even before the expense to administer it. What a disgraceful waste of public funds.
Thats the problem with government funded health, the accountability is pretty non-existent. I know they have enquiries every now and again and when the heat is on some poor sap is lead out in front of the press like a lamb to the slaughter to be offered as a sacrifice but really the problem lies with the politicians. They're the ones that mandate vaccine programs, there the ones that take money from big Pharma in campaign contributions and party donations. In some countries they even let the pharmaceutical companies 'self regulate' which is criminal, as it's not in their interests to highlight their failings.
So what do you do with this information?
Use it as a starting point to go do your due diligence, find out what is being injected into your body and what it contains. Look into its effectiveness for combating the illness it is allegedly preventing. Especially with children as they don't get to consent, you're doing that for them. Do the right thing by yourself and your loved ones to ensure you have all the facts before you commit. Because if you don't you may end up contracting the very illness you were hoping to prevent.
For much more easily digestible information check the many videos on the subject on YouTube.
Final words.
It is not my intention to delegate any blame whatsoever to the dedicated and hard working doctors, nurses and pharmacists that work in our health systems around the world. I have many friends and some relatives that are involved in healthcare and every one of them is a hero in their own way. The powers that control the current paradigm are who I have an issue with as they have been corrupted by the large pharmaceutical industry to ensure their products have a mandated market.

If you are an healthy adult who can probably deal well with the flu I also would not necessarily recommend getting the flu shot every year - However if you are in contact with low-immune-status people you should consider it.
It is well known that the flu shot is one of the worst working vaccines. While other vaccines may protect in 99.9% of cases the flu shot may only work in 70%. or 80% the next year. Or maybe 60%.
For myself (I am an aspiring doctor) I get the shot every year since I am in heavy contact with many weak people and want to do everything to protect them. All of our nurses, etc. are vaccinated as well. Have not seen any serious side effects so far.
But what I really want to say is, that you can not compare every vaccine to each other. We can really argue about the importance of all of then. I myself am not vaccineted everything available - Just because some illnesses do not occur where I live. But please do vaccine against Tetanus!, Measles and the other serious stuff.
Dozens of millions who already died due to those preventable illnesses must be enough.
Regarding your link: I did never get a single cent from a pharma company. And I know many practical pediatricians who also do not get paid for vaccinating. Still everybody is convinced about the importance!
Please research well before deciding against vaccines - and don't become a victim of selection bias.
Thank you for reading. I do think that we need to work together. Nobody has the total truth - not even science. But we need to work based on the best data available. And not based on emotions. And of course also not based on who pays the most for our actions.
Thank you for your well written reply. People do indeed need to do their research and due diligence prior to any vaccine and I agree with your advice re: tetanus. The biggest issue for most is the influence the producers have over government in mandating vaccinations. Political parties and politicians should not be able to take 'contributions' and then effectively work in the interests of big Pharma.
Thanky you for your reply too. Glad to see that we can discuss on a nice basis even though we obvioulsy have different approaches.
I am totally on your side that politics or pharma companys should not dictate what to vaccine. Whoever gives out vaccines should do this based on the modern knowledge backed up by science. And of course this science should be done well and not manipulated.
I only will recommend what I would give my own children. Maybe you should take a look at the Austrian vaccination plan:
The red ones are advised an free of charge. The blue ones are adviced but you would have to pay for them by yourself.
In my eyes you probably can argue about some of the blue ones, especially when you f.e. live in an area with no FSME cases. But I really think you should get the red ones.
If I would have a child right now I would follow this plan. What do you think?
PS: In case the picture is too small: https://www.bmgf.gv.at/cms/home/attachments/2/8/1/CH1100/CMS1452867487477/impfplan2017_plakat_a3_20170109.pdf
Thanks for the nice response.
I would never judge anyone if they have an informed opinion, regardless of it being opposed to my own.
Everyone has to do what is right for them, I was vaccinated as a kid and I'm 50 now so I don't need any. I do however have a vaccine damaged nephew and have seen the horrific down sides.
I don't have or want children so find it difficult to put myself mentally into the position of a parent having to make the decision.
I'm sure others who see this will be able to use the information.
Thanks again.
I've NEVER had a flu shot (I'm almost 46) and I've had real flu only once. I also rarely take antibiotics, perhaps 4X in 10 years. Our bodies are more than capable of dealing most minor illnesses. As for the flu vaccine itself...it is ludicrous...a big pharma con job.
Well in 50 and I've had 1. And that was 1 too many.
You're right about our bodies providing they haven't been compromised by, GMO, Chem trails and who knows what else.
Thx for reading.
Well said. I'm 10 years older than that, have never had a vaccine of any kind and apart from measles as a child and flu about 30 years ago, I'm never ill. Eat well and exercise to keep your immune system strong, stay away from the doctor in as far as possible, and your body will indeed be capable of fighting off most illness.
Every year my 82 year old mom gets the FLU vac, every year I call and she is sick for one month, I think it might be the one that takes her. Every year I plead with her and tell her not to take the FREE shot. She pleads back, the tv, tells her, the MSM, tells her to get the shot, and she does it. Every year I pray, she makes it past another winter, Pray with me, The Community
May the Lord keep your mother in good health all this winter.
Thank you for your thoughts, when will we see honesty in the medical community, why are we exposing or children to 50 vaccines.
I hope that day comes soon.....somehow!
Let the truth ring out to the unsuspecting
Let's hope she stays in good health. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I appreciate the support, I will talk to her again, before she takes the new, cure all, wrong flu strain for this year's flu, shot.
If anyone actually had to ask for the vaccines package insert BEFORE being vaccinated.. I can promise you that your hair will stand up after reading that!
Note how long and detailed they are as well.. covering their own asses for almost every single thing that could ever go wrong with the person getting vaccinated with the vaccine. It is plainly put INSANE TO VACCINATE FOR A DISEASE BY SIMPLY GUESSING WHICH STRAIN WILL POP UP THAT FOLLOWING SEASON!
That's the thing right? It's all in the vaccine inserts, people don't even need to ask their doctor for them, we can actually google it and download the pdf now.
But like @tremendospercy says people foolishly trust the government.
That fluoride has worked a treat.
Hasn't it just. Why anyone would trust a politician I'll never know.
Cheers for checking in babe.
I know right, it seems fundamental but people trust the Government.
Big mistake.
yea, just crazy how many sheeple walk among us!
Don't forget you have to be approved to sue the vaccine manufacture ( you have a better chance of being hit with a space rock to getting the approval).
True story dude.
VERY well written article thank you for taking the time to put this together. It should come to no surprise to you that I hate vaccines and think the whole thing to be one giant fraud! A deadly one at that... :'( Makes me cry every time I see vaccine injured children... :'( :'( :'( :'(
It sickens me the way people just allow there kids to be jabbed with poisons without question. My nephews life was destroyed by MMR.
Why anyone trusts their government on anything any more is beyond me.
Thx for reading and commenting babe.
No problema! I'm just so happy to be meeting people like you here!
Aww that's really nice of you to say babe. 😊
Ditto of course. 😉
great read, and thanks bud!
No worries, I hope things start to look up for you soon.
Well, Well, Well!
Look who put on their old man breEches ;)
Well done Perce, This is a well informed, superbly researched and enlightening article. You shed light and MANY questions on big Pharma and the con job that runs alongside with Vaccines.
This is a super hot topic at the moment. And it got a light shone in another corner of the big scam. Cant say well done enough.
Thank You for being brave and posting this information <3
Steemon And #BeBrave
Always babe.
I'm nothing compared to you when it comes to this subject and I look forward to your upcoming posts as they are always enlightening.
Steem on babe.
During the flue and cold season I hear all this noise about prevention and how it's your moral duty to safeguard your family, co-workers and fellow citizens by getting a flue shot. That's all it is is noise. Mindscaping the sheeple into believing what they want the sheeple to believe. Which is pretty much everything they say.
The idea that I'm a criminal for choosing not to follow their directives is proof of how far they're willing to go to make people comply. Got children? Get them in line for their shots or they may be expelled from the very schools the parents pay taxes for. And the dollars they spend keeping track of who's a sheeple and who is not just compounds the issue.
The sheer ballsiness of them to think they have a right to bang on your door to demand you do anything at all belies the police state that is slowly but surely entering into the human psyche. They know exactly what they are doing. If your loved on is in elder care it doesn't matter if you want to see your own parent during their last months, weeks, or days. It's getting so you can't even do that unless you can prove you are among the conformists.
The fact that vaccine makers don't even have to do proper studies to ensure efficacy and risk to the end user should be enough to make anyone with even one independent thought in their head realize that the only protection against those who claim to be our appointed protectors is to stay the hell away from them.
I was taught that the system runs on the principles of "you can do anything you want to do in life...just don't get caught" and the other being "question authority...always and in all ways". I now have a third now and I'm not ashamed to admit it and actually quite proud to live by it..."you can fight all you want to choose to give an inch or not, it doesn't matter...they're going to take the mile and give you the inch anyway."
We've allowed things to get this bad because we are like frogs in boiling water...clueless to our fate. The chef (read government, big business and institutional learning and scientific discovery ) are always bringing up new delights while leaving old ones on the menu to sell to the gullible who only think they've gotten wise to what's going on.
Proof is in the pudding. Do nothing and nothing is usually going to be the result...for them.
Another fine public service announcement Percy...I'll bet you for every single comment you get there are 1000 people who wouldn't even comment if they did read it for fear that they're being watched...and the sad thing is...they just very well may be right on that one. So who's stupid/brave now eh?
Wow! Even by your standards that is an epic comment dude.
I couldn't agree more with every single point you've made.
I'm fucking sick of it buddy, people need to wake up and smell the tyranny before it's too late.
Are people so chicken shit these days that they're happy sit silent and watch our countries descend into an Orwellian nightmare?
Well I'm not, I won't ever stop trying to get the truth out as long as these elite paedo loving corrupt scumbags control the current paradigm.
Sorry for the rant, I was due 😉
Excellent post TP - very well researched my friend. I must say I have been avoiding the flu shot for years for the one reason - every time I would get one, I would get sick - as you have indicated. SK.
Thx SK. It's an emotive subject for many and having a vaccine damaged nephew opened my eyes.
There are too many corrupted politicians making decisions based on the contributions recieved by big Pharma rather than the validity of their products. Hopefully that will changed but until then people need to be vigilant.
Too many corrupt politicians - can leave it at that! Sorry about your nephew. SK.
I had kids. I got a cold every year. That alone, very annoying... in the US.
I got a flue shot every year for 10 years; it helped; I stopped getting colds from my kids.
Still to this day, I no longer get simple colds; when I was getting several per year previous. I did seem to help..
that said, I no longer get flu shots for last 4 years, and I still don't get colds any more.
I absolutely do not trust us gov, and will no longer accept innoculations.
You're wise not to trust the government, they're corrupt and duplicitous.
