Cue the pro-vaccine crowd's b.s. arguments as to why this is doesn't matter and we should all keep taking the risk shooting up our children in the hopes this won't happen to us.
Via Daily Mail:
A five-year-old girl has died in hospital three days after developing a strain of the flu that she was vaccinated against – as a deadly outbreak of the virus continues to sweep across the country.
Keira Driscoll was prescribed steroids and a nebulizer at a Quick Care clinic after she started feeling unwell with a cough and a fever at her home in Clark County, Las Vegas, last Sunday.
But just hours later, she collapsed. Her mother, Tiffany Driscoll, frantically performed CPR on her small body, before she was rushed to hospital. There, she was found to have influenza A.
Despite medics' best efforts, Keira could not be resuscitated and she was placed on life support. On Tuesday, her parents made the heartbreaking decision to turn off the machine the next day.
The vaccine… didn't magically save her. Why? Because vaccines are not magical saviors (despite what Big Pharma and its biggest customer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, would have people believe).
The CDC just got done admitting last week that more than 3/4ths of the people who take the shot this year are going to get the flu anyway but the agency stupidly continues to tell people to get the shot they admit probably won't protect them from diddly squat!
Why? Someone has money to make, obviously.
That's after the CDC admitted this year's flu vaccine is the wrong strain. They're saying it's maybe 23% effective. Not very good odds, and yet again, like we live in crazy land, they're still telling people to get the shot anyway even though they know it's ineffective.
The seasonal flu isn't supposed to be "deadly" anyway, just by the way. The reason so many things like the flu or even measles are deadly these days is because so many people are nutritionally deficient. Maybe if our food wasn't junk, and our water and air weren't poisoned, we'd be hearing a lot less of these stories in the first place.
The fact of the matter is, even the studies that have come out to compare vaccinated with unvaccinated people have shown that the flu vaccine is not nearly as effective in people who have received previous flu vaccines! This study, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, looked at 7,315 enrollments during eight seasons and ultimately found:
Vaccine-induced protection was greatest for individuals not vaccinated during the prior 5 years.
Wait… WHAT?
Here are the details:
In the analysis using 5 years of historical vaccination data, current season vaccine effectiveness (VE) against H3N2 was significantly higher among vaccinated individuals with no prior vaccination history (65%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 36%–80%) compared with vaccinated individuals with a frequent vaccination history (24%; 95% CI, 3%–41%; P = .01). VE against B was 75% (95% CI, 50%–87%) and 48% (95% CI, 29%–62%), respectively (P = .05). Similar findings were observed when analysis was restricted to adults 18–49 years.
Let's just take that first number against H3N2. Sixty-five percent? That's the general rate of vaccine effectiveness? Well WOO HOO. What about the other 45%???
Sixty-five percent isn't even that high anyway considering these people are taking a shot filled with chemicals and heavy metals that bypasses their natural immune systems and all the risks that go along with that. But that 65% protection is for unvaccinated people.
Check out the protection for the good little citizens who take their government-recommended flu cocktail every year: 24%.
ONLY TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT.
Even against flu strain B, those same vaccinated people only get 48% protection.
How well does that bode for people running around like chickens with their heads cut off shrieking, "Don't forget to get your flu vaccine every year or you'll die THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING AHHHHHH!!!"
Think about if you bought anything and it only worked 24% or 48% of the time…? Wouldn't you throw that piece of crap in the garbage or return it to the store for a refund? Or would you just dutifully keep buying pieces of crap that suck?
Well, too late with a vaccine; you already shot yourself up with heavy metals, antibiotics, genetically modified viruses, preservatives like formaldehyde and emulsifiers like polysorbate 80 — which has been linked to gastrointestinal problems, heart attacks, strokes, impaired immunity and tumor growth for starters — and which studies have shown helps all the other chemicals in said shot more easily bypass your blood brain barrier and permeate your gut.
In fact, this whole situation has caused a flu vaccine "paradox":
Pharmaceutical companies and the larger medical community absolutely don't want studies conducted that compare the health of unvaccinated individuals to those who get regular vaccines – even when they find a troubling "paradox." Yet, this story showing the results of seasonal flu vaccines can already show a link to unintended consequences. They say since building more sensitive immune testing equipment, that they haven't seen increase in (seasonal?) flu illnesses among vaccine recipients versus unvaccinated individuals. They are dubbing it a "blunted protection to seasonal flu." From CBC:
But researchers in several countries have found a blunting or "interference" effect between previous seasonal vaccines and reduced levels of vaccine protection in later years for some strains.
What?? If vaccines are supposed to "immunize" or give the immune system a boost, and the CDC in the U.S. is telling everyone to go ahead and get ineffective flu vaccines for added protection – then how can past vaccines run "interference" and knock out the effects of future vaccines? This attempt at damage control doesn't make any sense…. [emphasis added]
No, it doesn't make any sense. It never did. It never will.
Even though this little girl died from the very strain of flu the people who sold her parents the vaccination promised it would protect their baby from, the establishment media is pathetically still trying to twist this in a pro-vaccaination agenda light, calling this year's flu season a "deadly epidemic" and scaremongering just like they always do every single year per the script.
You know how many kids have died of the flu (children who likely already had compromised immune systems and other health issues to begin with) this year? Fifty-six.
You want to know what a real "deadly epidemic" is?
Try 100,000 people dying EVERY YEAR after taking pharmaceutical drugs AS PRESCRIBED. (That doesn't even begin to count the thousands who die from abusing their prescriptions or we'd be here all day.)
Every time someone dies it's sad, especially when a child passes away who was just starting to live her life, but ask yourself, "Which of these things is a real deadly epidemic?" (Hint: It's not the flu.)
But hey, go get your vaccines because the government, which was forced to admit the vaccines don't even work this year, said so.
I was “thinking” about getting the flu shot ... and then a few days later I was sicker than a dog with the flu. I would advise people to not even “think” about the flu shot ... LOL ...
Well, this little girl got the flu shot. And later died of the same strain of vaccine flu.
I don’t know why that’s nearly impossible when there are DIFFERENT ones out there.
You can get different strains.
The second time possibly was a virus that wasn’t “influenza” per se, but it could have been a different strain thereof.
The CDC just got done admitting last week that more than 3/4ths of the people who take the shot this year are going to get the flu anyway
...
I’m going to claim that’s a misuse of statistics on behalf of the author.
Well they did say that this years flu shot is only 36 percent protection. So it doesn’t surprise me that some may not be protected like other years. I get the shot every year but I bet many won’t bother next year after hearing what happened this year.
And I just about died by NOT getting the flu shot ... so I don’t know which “dying” is better.
There are ALSO stories out there with kids dying and not having the flu shot. There are already a bunch of dead adults and kids in Oklahoma from the flu. One way or another “the flu kills”.
It took some nagging to get the family ped to admit that their ‘concern’ for kids may have had more to do with monetary remuneration.
It was confirmed by a ped specialist who is a family friend. His kids after the second, who seized on the table literally 1m after his first DTaP shot (which the nurse tried to tell him was the baby ‘stretching’ and they sometimes ‘did that after getting a shot) are all unvaccinated. The kid that seized after his vaccine is autistic. I’m sure that’s a coincidence. Said MD had to homeschool his brood of 8 kids to avoid the mandatory schedule in this state. A surprising number of the homeschoolers in this state are MD’s kids for that reason.
Until the very enlightening conversation with the ped specialist I had no idea that ANY MD’s didn’t totally vax their kids. Having discussed this with a few more I’ve come to the conclusion that the ped practices use the 5% ‘waiver’ for their kids and families.
“She could have had it already.”
I agree. Besides, it takes several days to two weeks for the vaccine to enable one’s system to produce enough antibodies to be effective.
I almost died from a blood pressure drop after being withdrawn from Prednisone too quickly after pneumonia. I personally will never take it again even though it is the going thing now to give for these kinds of illnesses. That’s why I think everyone should have the right to pick their poison(or not).
The flu shot didn’t work.
It wouldn’t have made any difference.
Have you had your vitamin d3 levels checked?
Probably not or it would be very mild. The vaccine is not a guarantee. It should create sufficient antibodies but they can’t test every dose. If you get one every year, your chances get much better. That’s why I get one every year (plus it is free and I am cheap).
The new strains are a problem because they are hard to predict. The Hong Kong Flu(1997) leaped over from birds, killing a child in Hong Kong. Swine Flu came over from pigs.
I was in the military 24 years and was happy to get the flu shot because we travel all over the World and it does keep us protected. I continue to get it every year and have not gotten the flu ever. A minor cold is the most I have ever gotten from 18-45 so far. I think flu shots work....although this year they messed up and didn’t provide a very good vaccine. However, I guarantee next year they will fix what went wrong this year. I am a big vaccine believer and wished that we all were given the chicken pox vaccine when we were kids....for no other reason that we would not get shingles when we are older....I heard that is the worst thing on earth and a simple vaccine could have been so beneficial for so many people.
The chances are getting two are possible but not usual. Otherwise, doctors would be sick all the time. The dr in my Bible Study was vaccinated and still got the flu but he was inundated with sick patients. Law of averages catches up to you after a while.
BTW I got the flu vaccine one year and still got the flu. But a dose of Tamiflu and I was fine in a couple of days. The people I knew who rode it out had problems for months.
Note; In the Spring of 1918, the Spanish Flu appeared but it wasn’t fatal and died off when flu season ended. When the Fall flu season began, it wiped out entire villages.
I was looking into it before, but in the meantime, I’ve had blood work that checks for a broad range of problems ... several times ... since I’m in an age bracket that makes it more relevant.
And, in that little girl’s case, if the vaccine didn’t make any difference ... she would have been dead without it, too.
They said no such thing. LOL
This is the book I am reading now. It’s kinda wonky but good.
Flu : the story of the great influenza pandemic of 1918 and the search for the virus that caused it / Gina Kolata.
Maybe not.
Read the publication toward the end of the original post.
As it turns out, having flu shots several years in a row might attenuate your immune response to subsequent flu exposures.
And read my oxfordjournals link as well.
Btw, sometimes you have to specifically ask to have d3 tested. It depends on the practice. And there is a wide range of ‘normal’ for d3. And if you do supplement with d3, look into K2 as well, they work together. We try to get ours from egg yolks, gouda cheese and grass fed butter.
I can see the reason for the required anthrax, small pox, and other diseases for deployments. I’m against the recent requirement for annual flu shots. If you want to have them, good for you... but if you don’t want an annual unnecessary shot you are out of luck. I think it’s the government arranging contacts with a pharmaceutical company. As a result I’m forced to have that unnecessary crap injected into my body every year... twice when they lose vaccination documentation.
