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.
They bring their bedbugs, lice and disease with them!
Epidemics from these diseases and their resulting deaths of our children can be laid at the doorstep of the obnoxious parasite that will never pull the plug on this influx of the scum of the societies they left.
Is this the way the central socialist government chooses to reduce the excess population? By killing us and our children?
“Big Pharma?” Michael Mooore, is that you?
CDC = Center for Disease Creation.
prayers for that sweet little girl and her family
what a shame that antivirals weren’t prescribed immediately esp since 4 kids had already died in that county alone
must have been “too expensive” for cost containing facilities and health plans
I took the flu shot once.
Got very sick that year and the next, IIRC.
Haven’t bothered with it since.
Washing my hands, including fingertips, and staying away from people who have just sneezed, using a paper towel to turn the doorknob of public restrooms, and other paranoid habits seem to have worked a lot better than the vaccine.
Here’s the updated list of vaccines made with dead babies: http://www.cogforlife.org/vaccineListOrigFormat.pdf
Thought you’d be interested.
I was basically forced to get it by my employer back in November. I would have probably gotten it anyways if it wasn’t too expensive. I think it probably helps the herd but might not be necessary for every individual and it sounds like the CDC really dropped the ball when they chose the strains to include in the vaccine. I think the vaccine itself has room for improvement too.
Just damn...RIP little girl and condolences to her family.
Careful there, might find yourself defending against charges of xenophobia because you dare to mention one of the many conduits of these diseases. Or being run down rabbit trails of diversions that will never satisfy your accusers.
I stopped getting flu shots immediately upon retiring from the USAF over 11 years ago...never felt better. I get the occasional sinus infection, but don’t get sick anymore like I used to.
Tired of being a pin cushion guinea pig for “big pharma” and Uncle.
If she died from the very strain in the vaccine, no one dropped the ball. The shot just didn’t work.
Took my kid in and there was no messing around, prednizone, z pack and inhaler. Very aggressive. Thank God my kid made it. This poor little thing could probably barely breathe. God rest her and be with the family.
I’m angry all military personnel are REQUIRED to have a flu shot every year, sometimes two.
A friend I grew up with, he was our class valedictorian and one of the smartest people I have ever met, ended up a pediatrician living in the next town over from me. (small world)
We connected on FB and have had lunch a few times to catch up, and vaccination was a topic we talked round about when the Ebola scare was going on.
He won’t accept new patients whose parents refuse immunization, period. Didn’t go into great detail at the time but the head shaking disgust was pretty clear on his face talking about it though.
Did he also tell you that insurance companies cut payments to their practice if less than 95% of their patients follow the official schedule?
Most vaccines, such as those for MMR, tetanus, diphtheria, polio, HIB, and even varicella, are very effective and provide a strongly positive health benefit in relation to the risks.
Seasonal influenza vaccines, not so much...
This screed is nonsensical. Take your medical advice from experts, not from kooks.
Agree entirely, but she probably didn't look that sick initially, and by the time she did she was already very far along. This is horribly tragic. I haven't seen statistics showing a lesser effectiveness of flu vaccination if one has been vaccinated before. Sound like possible desensitization, and really needs to be looked into.
