Inquiring minds wonder if the borders were left open,
and the vaccines pushed for pecuniary reasons.
I literally ran out of the doctor’s office when they wanted me to sit for two flu vaccinations. I didn’t get the flu. Is flu season over yet?
Thousands??
How many $billions were spent on the anticipation of this pandemic-that-wasn’t?
How many additional $billions were spent on the other anticipated pandemic-that-wasn’t — avian flu?
Too bad there is no accountability in Washington. Who is getting wealthy from all this spending?
Smells like BS to me.
I don't know a SINGLE person who has contracted the flu- any strain. I haven't heard any one say they rushed to get tthe shots. Most people I know didn't want anything to do with them. Me either!
All agenda and NO cited facts. I am willing to believe that the CDC is worthless, but cite something. This “natural” crap will kill you. People ate “organic” food and used “natural” cures for millinia. We live longer now than ever in history because of unnatural SCIENCE.
I have received seasonal flu inoculations 19 out of the last 21 years. I became sick with the flu in late December in both of the years in which I received no vaccine. As sick as I can ever remember being both of those times. Vaccines work.
This guy is a dangerous charlatan with no medical or scientific education or training. Visit this link for a much better assessment of him than I can provide:

Their statistics are quoted in an intentionally vague way.
If overall mortality is decreased by one percent in the vaccinated group, this could be an outstanding number.
The mortality rate is about 1%. If the vaccinated group had their rate lowered by 1%, then we may have found the source of immortality.
Stats can lie, poorly worded stats are most likely covering something up. Natural news likes to stir the pot.
Being in the military, I don’t have a choice about getting the flu shots. Or worse, the flu mist up the nose.
However, I do not remember ever getting the flu prior to joining the military. I’ve only had one cold in the last decade.
I read a scientific journal article about a study done in a nursing home, where there was a flu break-out (a couple years ago; it wasn’t H1N1). The authors compared rates of catching flu between people receiving the vaccine, and people remaining unvaccinated. As I recall, it wasn’t that much of a difference. Sixty-something percent of the vaccinated, and 70-something percent of the unvaccinated got the flu... the vaccine only decreased the infection rate by about 11%. I wasn’t very impressed.
I have not had the flu shots in well over ten years and I am totally okay with that.
I was a guest at a relatives house this summer and fall, and one day she got a wild hair up her a** and she sent me emails from her work using (us.army.mil) mail servers demanding that I get both both flu shots. I got myself out of her house in less than 3 days.
I dont know if she ever got in trouble for that (she is a civilian paralegal in the legal department at a US Army Depot) but I believe that she should have.
