Study Finds Flu Vaccine Is Often Ineffective, as Reported
Efficacy and effectiveness of influenza vaccines: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Prof Michael T. Osterholm PhD et al ... Background: No published meta-analyses have assessed efficacy and effectiveness of licensed influenza vaccines in the USA with sensitive and highly specific diagnostic tests to confirm influenza. – The Lancet
Dominant Social Theme: Vaccines are great. Use them for everything.
Free-Market Analysis: We missed this study in The Lancet when it came out more than a year ago but it is certainly worth commenting on.
Even the public summary itself is a damning indictment of the various flu vaccines currently being promoted by Big Pharma. The summary of this study states definitively that flu vaccine protection is "variable." Here's some more:
Methods: ... We searched Medline for randomised controlled trials assessing a relative reduction in influenza risk of all circulating influenza viruses during individual seasons after vaccination (efficacy) and observational studies meeting inclusion criteria (effectiveness). ... We estimated random-effects pooled efficacy for trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) and live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) when data were available for statistical analysis (eg, at least three studies that assessed comparable age groups).
Findings: We screened 5707 articles and identified 31 eligible studies (17 randomised controlled trials and 14 observational studies). Efficacy of TIV was shown in eight (67%) of the 12 seasons analysed in ten randomised controlled trials (pooled efficacy 59% [95% CI 51—67] in adults aged 18—65 years). No such trials met inclusion criteria for children aged 2—17 years or adults aged 65 years or older ...
Vaccine effectiveness was variable for seasonal influenza: six (35%) of 17 analyses in nine studies showed significant protection against medically attended influenza in the outpatient or inpatient setting. Median monovalent pandemic H1N1 vaccine effectiveness in five observational studies was 69% (range 60—93).
Interpretation: Influenza vaccines can provide moderate protection against virologically confirmed influenza, but such protection is greatly reduced or absent in some seasons. Evidence for protection in adults aged 65 years or older is lacking. LAIVs consistently show highest efficacy in young children (aged 6 months to 7 years). New vaccines with improved clinical efficacy and effectiveness are needed to further reduce influenza-related morbidity.
What we have here is a study that found the vaccines in question were shown to have been "effective" as little as 59 percent of the time. Additionally, please note the following conclusion: "Interpretation: Influenza vaccines can provide moderate protection against virologically confirmed influenza, but such protection is greatly reduced or absent in some seasons."
There is something grievously dysfunctional about a medical environment based on chemical concoctions that generate numerous additional and injurious effects simply to claim ownership.
The Western medical model is incalculably flawed. Ancient civilizations and even recent tribal cultures doubtless had much of the same medical technology available today via drugs. The difference is that the actual plant-based remedies were applied rather than synthetic variants prepared for patent purposes.
The current medical paradigm is based almost entirely on torturous patent provisions that bear little relationship to the natural law to which – in a sensible world – they would correspond.
Like so many other dominant social themes of the elites, the safety and efficacy of vaccines is under scrutiny as never before. As they should be.
Here at The Daily Bell we've been covering the ineffectiveness (and even deadliness) of vaccines for at least three years and in other incarnations for a number of additional years. In that time, we've been gratified to see that reporting about this medical-induced plague has continually increased.
We believe that a tiny group of super elites runs much of Big Pharma and funds their ownership via central banking. This power elite wants global governance and public health is one tool at their disposal.
We are especially distrustful of vaccines because the paradigm is simply too good to be true. According to mainstream medicine there is ONE cure for most of humankind's ills and it just so happens to be a cure that can only be administered in massive quantities by government officials.
If you wanted to create a healthcare dominant social theme, the myth of vaccine-as-cure-all aligns perfectly with the elites' determination to raise up government solutions as absolutely necessary and effective.
One need only need take a critical look at the idea of "herd immunity" to understand the manipulations currently being practiced. So-called herd immunity provides public health workers with a rationale to insist that everyone be vaccinated. The idea is that if certain people are not vaccinated, the disease itself will never be "wiped out."
The trouble with this insistence is threefold. First, it is almost impossible to vaccinate everyone for a given disease and thus even diseases that are said to have vanished have a habit of coming back.
Second, what has become clear in the past ten years is that not everyone SHOULD be vaccinated. There are obviously people, children especially, who are sensitive to various vaccines and have horrible reactions to them. Thus, herd immunity becomes an impossibility anyway.
Third, it could well be that much of what has been attributed to vaccines is merely distorted reporting and that the subsiding of certain kinds of diseases may have as much to do with better hygiene and overall health as much (or more) than vaccine programs.
The efficacy of vaccines generally should be challenged and their impact on a minority should be aggressively investigated. Here at The Daily Bell, we will continue to agitate for such investigations and point out the difficulties of the current one-size-fits-all vaccine paradigm. For more articles on this issue simply search for "vaccine" and Daily Bell. Or "Wakefield" and "Daily Bell."
Conclusion: The Daily Bell's modest staff will receive no journalist awards for its journalistic efforts, nor will the many other alternative news efforts that have contributed to revealing the truth about the vaccine industry. No matter ... Our biggest and most treasured award is your patronage.

Dear Bell, here is something new that is related to the soft kill agenda. It is regarding a deadly gene inserted into GMO crops.

Keep at it DB! You are onto something! We all must visit Click to view link and read the newsletters to see the even darker side! Aborted fetal DNA is in our childhood vaccinations! And we see autism is the result!

It's important to note that herd immunity doctrine is fundamentally opposed to individual rights. The owner of a herd doesn't care about individual animals - vaccination works for him if fewer animals succumb to the vaccine than would have fallen to the disease against which it protects them. If humans are managed in this way, however, slavery is implicit because only in the case of slaves can the interests of the owner override those of another individual human being. This simple insight shifts the debate from "are vaccines good or bad" to the more sensible "who gets to decide whether I get vaccinated, and by what warrant?" The fight should be against compulsory vaccination. The questions of effective or not, safe or not are not relevant to that struggle, which would be just as necessary even if all vaccines were 100% effective and 100% risk-free. I'm fortunate to live in a country where, despite occasional attempts to coerce me, I can still say "no" and make it stick. I do what any free man should do, namely perform a risk-benefit analysis for each vaccine offered me. As a result, I allow myself to be vaccinated when the threat is real (dangerous disease, high probability of contracting it) and the vaccine generally proven effective and safe (Hepatitis A, for example), and keep myself and my children away from the needle when the disease is benign and/or extremely rare and the vaccine is either ineffective or dangerous, or both (MMR, HPV "vaccine"). To a free man, vaccines are ONE possible way to improve his chances of continued good health. When he has himself inoculated, he makes the decision and assumes the known risks and their possible consequences. Such a situation is far from that being fostered today in most "civilized" countries, and even in my little outpost.

When my little one was admitted recently to ICU, they tried to make me get him a flu shot. I refused. They said it would print out a form I would have to sign saying I refused the shot. I told them "bring it on!" Imagine a child fighting for his life and they insist on giving him this poison!

Dear Bell, I already posted the info from Dr. Danuta Skowronski.

The study clearly states that the flu vaccine caused flu and made it more serious. This is just one facet of the soft-kill agenda.
I've also posted the vid from the former chief of the FBI where he states that the chemtrails are for killing.

The FDA had banned aspartame for 16 years. Rumsfeld got it approved.

Corn ethanol had long ago proved to be a net energy loser. BUT, more importantly, HFCS was proved to be a great soft killer through obesity and diabetes.
Ditto for fluoride.
Along with soft kill operations, there are big efforts at preventing pregnancy.

Anthony Wile and others have written about a financial hurricane that is bearing down on us. I suspect that soft-kill will change to hard kill.
Imagine that the markets collapse. Imagine that there is no activity on the "futures and options market" where many farmers go to get financing for planting.
Imagine that winter fertilizing and spring planting don't happen on time. Imagine that there was some kind of big interruption at Monsanto. Imagine 200,000 square MILES of American farmland soaked with Roundup,,, and no Roundup-Ready seeds available.

If you consider that soft kill is a daily effort, the danger of vaccines is to be expected.

The flu vaccines may not prevent the flu, but there is no doubt they promote Alzheimers.
"According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals): If an individual has had 5 consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times higher than if he/she had one, 2 or no shots. Dr. Fudenberg said it was so and that it was due to mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot. The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction.
Flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury. One microgram is considered toxic.
About Hugh Fudenberg, MD
Hugh Fudenberg, MD, is Founder and Director of Research, Neuro lmmuno Therapeutic Research Foundation. Information from Dr. Hugh Fudenberg came from transcribed notes of Dr. Fudenberg's speech at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA September, 1997. Quoted with permission."

Our object is not to decide on the efficacy of vaccination - the discussion is moot.
Vaccination is based on the Germ Theory of Causation and Treatment.
This theory and treatment are contrary to the laws of biology.
However, the fear that is created through the promotion of this false theory is of such magnitude that we allow the gov't to mandate that our blood be polluted by the product of powerful chemical manufacturing interests.

Good try guys - be careful - you tread on hallowed ground - the high priests of medicine are rounding up the wagons and fighting back with force - how much force? I have pasted my FB post for your purusal - thank you, Kevin @ Click to view link
Get this 'Stuck' into you
It got very hot in the kitchen - I followed the link and found that Ms Doery has taken a somewhat backward step from her original statement that indicated involvement at gov't level under pressure from an undisclosed source - who else could it be but BIG PHARMA.
And... half way down the article I am cut off - the information is only available to 'Medical Practitioners' who are reistered by the gov't - Yikes - they are at it again - regulation and control - of that you can be assured.

Right on the mark, as usual, TDB. Yesterday, Karen De Coster reported on the "upward trend of flu shot insanity":
Click to view link
"... people continue to lose their jobs because they refuse the risks associated with injecting Big Pharma's foreign substances [that disrupt the immune system]".
Those are the ways of the Big Pharma - Big Government unholy alliance... The corruption of medical science (with only a school of thought sanctioned as orthodox, legit science, by the way: "be a clever citizen and don't listen to out-of-the-orthodox-box quacks") is highly menacing, since their priests provide the promotions that serve as justification for increasingly invasive attacks on liberty. Invoke the greater good, and your body becomes an easy target. No well meaning person would intentionally infect another, so be a good citizen: submit to medical tyranny, or else.
I'd also suggest Jon Rappoport's blog. He's no friend of the Big Pharma - Big Government unholy alliance.
