No Flu Shots!?

by Chris Lewis, MH, CMT

As of the writing of this article (May 2006), America is experiencing a huge shortage of influenza (flu) vaccine and millions who want the shot aren’t able to get one – whatever will we do!?

There are three points that I feel are important to make here:

1: There are many alternatives to the flu shot available worldwide, many of which are more effective than the vaccine, and practically all of which are much safer than the vaccine. See my post on Colds / Flu. Yes, they are addressed exactly the same way.

2: Flu shots (and other vaccinations) cause many harmful (and sometimes lethal) side-effects including:

Did you know that the flu shot can actually give you the flu!? Yes, it’s true, and for many people (myself and most of my family included) the only thing they have to do to stop getting the flu every year is to stop getting the flu shot! Individuals can experience very different effects here, and where the flu shot might seem to prevent the flu in some people, it will make others sick with remarkable consistency.

The medical industry (the same one that makes a killing from selling you the vaccine) says that this is impossible, that the virus in the vaccine is “killed” and it can’t possibly do anything inside your body. First of all, they don’t know that because they don’t do a very good job of testing vaccines for purity so they would most likely miss any contaminant that got into it; second, the vaccine doesn’t have to contain live viruses to make you sick, it just has to contain toxic chemicals that weaken your immune system and lower your resistance so that you catch the first thing you’re exposed to – and they DO contain large amounts of such chemicals. Third, most of the symptoms you feel with a flu or any infection are not the result of the virus acting on your body; they are your immune system’s attempt to destroy the invader, and your immune system responds to viruses whether they are dead or alive.

There is also the possibility of allergic reactions (sometimes fatal) that can happen at any time, even if you’ve had the shot in previous years without a problem. So why would you ever want subject yourself to this?!

3: Even if you get a flu shot, they are notoriously ineffective at preventing the flu! The manufacturers’ explanation is that there are many different strains of the flu virus and since the vaccine can only cover a few of them at most, there are still hundreds of strains floating around out there that you can catch, even if the vaccine succeeds in making you immune to those few strains (which is not as likely as one would hope).

In light of this information, maybe a shortage of vaccine is actually a good thing! I never get flu shots for any reason (even when there are plenty) and neither does my family, and our health has improved dramatically because of it. Why don’t you try this experiment: Don’t get any shots of any kind (for flu or anything else) this year or next and watch your health improve. If it doesn’t work the way I say it will you can always go back to getting the shots the year after that, but believe me, you won’t want to!

Your children don’t have to get shots either. Many people think that schools require it, but there is a simple form you can get from the school (they are legally required to give it to you if you ask) that will exempt your children from all vaccination requirements and let them attend school normally. It is especially important for children to avoid shots as they are much more vulnerable than adults to their side-effects; many thousands of children have died from vaccine reactions, even after getting other vaccines without ill effect. Your health and your children’s health are simply too precious to risk on such a ridiculous and unjustifiable practice!
