Data can’t be disputed. But what can be argued over is how that data is interpreted. How does a 1% drug effectiveness turn into a 50% reduction in heart attacks? How does a 2% vaccine effectiveness turn into a 47% reduction in deaths?
Flu Shot Bullying
I had a promise to myself that I would stay away from vaccine posts for a while. I’ve had my fair share of heat on the internet about my choice not to vaccinate our kids and the reasons behind it. There’s even blog posts about my blog posts and how I am choosing to ignore the science about vaccines and their effectiveness.
Attacks on me don’t make me that fired up anymore but when my own clients and friends are victims of flu shot bullying, I have to step in. I had a couple women on the verge of tears because they were given the, “If you don’t get the flu shot, you could die” speech from her doctor.
I also take care of gentleman that vehemently opposed getting the flu shot but because he has been labeled ‘immuno-compromised.’ The bully won. He got the flu shot and as a result had a massive seizure that almost took his life. I’m not saying the flu shot will cause a massive seizure. The doctor called the gentleman to apologize and admit that the flu shot was the most likely trigger in the seizure. “Oops, my bad.”

The media bonanza regarding the flu is starting and you will notice 1 of 2 things. First, they are using massive scare and fear tactics to persuade you into getting a flu shot. B. The media reports on what it wants to report to persuade you to think how they want you to think. That’s their job. Your job is to think. Watching hours of media causes you to think less.
The media reports on what it wants to report to persuade you to think how they want you to think. Your job is to think. Click To TweetTheir agenda is to please their advertisers. In this case, a massive chunk of their budget comes from the pharmaceutical industry, who have a lot to gain by getting you to think there is a horrible bug out there and the only defense is to get a vial full of toxic chemicals and puss.
I look it this whole Flu hoopla as a giant hoax. Let me give you an insight into why.
If you look at “flu season,” I see a bigger common denominator than an elusive virus. Look at the American lifestyle starting in September. Most people go from a warm season where they are outdoors, eating fresh food, being active, and are generally a lot happier. Kids move indoor all day in school and told to sit still for 8 hours at a time and rewarded with ice cream, pizza parties, and candy for getting correct answers.
