Effects Of The Flu Vaccine
The Flu Vaccine and Its Unfavorable Effects
The CDC and FDA say the influenza vaccine (flu vaccine) is safe to take, but it has been proven to be very life threatening. There are thousands of people that has been affected by the flu vaccine. Consequently, due to the many negative effects, thousands of cases have been reported to the CDC and the FDA each year, that has been covered up or denied. However, in the June report in 2014, by the Department of Justice, there were 120 cases of vaccine injuries decided. Seventy eight cases received compensation, and of that 78, 55 were for the flu vaccine (Impact). Many people are told to get a flu vaccination; however, the ingredients in the flu vaccine have adverse effects that cause both physical …show more content…
ailments and death.
The CDC states that the flu vaccine can be given to anyone at any time with other vaccines, but the manufacturer states that vaccines should be given at least three days after the flu vaccine. The CDC also recommends that the flu vaccine should be given to healthy children, but doing so will remove or decreases their natural antibiotic to the flu. Therefore, making them more susceptible in getting the flu because the vaccines actually weakens their natural antibiotics. Children who rarely gets the flu or doesn’t have complications due to the flu, doesn’t necessarily need to get the flu vaccine (Stephanie Cave).
In 1986, Congress gave pharmaceutical companies legal immunity from being sued by vaccine affected people, based on the amount of cases that were being filed against the vaccine companies (Tribune). Therefore, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), also created in the 1980’s, provide payouts to those who has filed a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine “after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases” (HRSA).
There are three types of influenza (flu) viruses: Type A, Type B and Type C, which are usually spread by coughing, sneezing and touching, and if treated early; last no more than a week. Other symptoms includes, headaches, muscle pain, runny nose and sometimes a fever. These are symptoms that can be treated with home remedies that includes a lot of rest and fluids. Home remedies provides no serious side effects, whereas the flu vaccine has caused numerous health risk that is sometimes irreversible, and certainly life changing.
The ingredient in the flu vaccine is very complex. To decide what viruses are used in the flu vaccines each year, the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee would meet in Silver Springs, Maryland and debate in order to select the viruses to be used (FDA). For the 2014-2015 influenza vaccines, the committee decided that the vaccine will contain the following:
I. A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) -like virus No change from the 2013-2014 vaccine recommendation
II. A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2) -like virus No change from the 2013-2014 vaccine recommendation
III. B/Massachusetts/2/2012 -like virus (B/Yamagata lineage) No change from the 2013-2014 vaccine recommendation (Cheung)
That is only three of the many flu viruses that a people can get that the vaccine will not be able to prevent them from.
After the decision has been made, the egg-based vaccines viruses are given to the manufacturers for processing.
These vaccine viruses are then injected into fertilized hen's eggs and incubated for several days to allow the viruses to replicate. Then the virus-containing fluid is harvested from the eggs. For flu shots, the influenza viruses for the vaccine are then killed, and the virus antigen is purified. Two types of the vaccine are made: inactivated (killed) vaccine, usually called the “flu shot” and live attenuated (weakened) vaccine, usually called the “nasal spray” (CDC). If people is allergic to egg or any part of the egg, it is recommended that the person do not take the vaccine. The CDC recommends that children should not get the nasal spray because it has proven to be less effective. Children taking the nasal spray has been proven to actually get the flu, and if you have a low immune system and comes in contact with the flu virus, you can get infected with or without the flu shot.
Most flu vaccines have up to three ingredients that are not to be consumed by humans or animals. However, scientists are bringing this dangerous, unnecessary and ineffective vaccine to people, which can cause them more harm than good. Some vaccines are suitable to be given to children like; the Measles, Whooping Cough (Pertussis), Polio, Hepatitis and the Mumps vaccines, but those vaccines actually results in a higher percentage in preventing children and adults from getting these infections and viruses than the flu
vaccine.
Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ), Sanofi ($SNY), GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK), Merck's ($MRK) and Roche ($RHHBY) are the top five companies for making these flu vaccines (Station)
Included in the flu vaccine are: Cetrimonium bromide (CTMB), Formaldehyde and Thimerosal. Cetrimonium bromide (CTMB) is labeled as “Hazardous” and can cause skin irritation and a serious eye irritant. It also states that CTMB should never touch any part of the human body. Formaldehyde can alters tissue proteins, cause cardiac impairment, coma and death and Thimerosal has 50% mercury “Exposure to mercury in utero and in children may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment” (Lilly). Although the vaccine is usually cheap; costing $5 to $30 per shot, it can be free with health insurance.
Physical ailments caused by the flu vaccine is always unexpected and life changing. One physical ailment that has been caused by the flu vaccine is Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This is a disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerve cells inside the spinal cord. Muscle weakness and temporary paralysis in the arms and legs are common along with the loss of sensation. Most people are able to regain the use of their arms and legs, but some will not. GBS can cause respiratory and permanent nerve damage and in rare cases, people have died of GBS, which is usually a result of respiratory failure (Leslie Young).
Physical ailments can occur very soon after taking the vaccine. In the book Flu Shot Gone Wrong, discussed Maurice Lamkin Jr. a young man who was born in July of 1999 in San Antonio, Texas. Maurice received a flu shot in October of 2004 and end up with a fever. Within a few days his brain started swelling; he was taken to the hospital, but the damage was too severe. The doctors prevented his death, but 13 years later and he is living with ABI (acquired brain injury- resulting from the flu shot), which has left him with both physical and mental impairments. The book states that he also has epilepsy and many other emotional and behavioral issues (Mouille).
The reported deaths caused by the flu vaccine is mostly with young children. However, Chandler Webb, a healthy 19 year old, who was given a “routine” and “recommended” flu vaccine at his physical in 2013 died because of the flu vaccine. After taking the flu vaccine, Chandler had a reaction and within 24 hours he became violently ill. Chandler was shivering, complaining about having a headache and vomiting. On October 23, he was checked into the Intermountain Medical Center (IMC) where a team of six doctors were trying to understand why a healthy teen like Chandler became so sick. Dr. Allyn Nakashima, a Utah state Epidemiologist states that there has been associations with encephalitis and the flu vaccine, but it is rare. Chandler Webb was pronounced dead, due to vaccine-induced encephalitis (News). From 1999 to 2002 the deaths in children were below 30 per year. After the CDC decides that the flu vaccine will help to decrease the number in 2003, the number of deaths went up to 90 children that year (Institute).
In conclusion, statements found on the flu vaccine inserts include: Flubok: “Safety and effectiveness in children 3 years to less than 18 years of age have not been established.” Fluzone: “Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 6 months have not been established.” Afluria: “…not approved for use in children less than 5 years of age.” Fluvirin: “The safety and immunogenicity have not been established in children under 4 years of age (Orissa).” Robert Scott Bell, D.A. Hom, states that if a doctor takes a flu shot then you should question that doctor, because he or she is not sure of what they are doing or find another doctor (Bell).
People die from asthma and malnutrition more than the flu. Taking care of your flu with natural home remedies will provide better results and zero to little side effects, which are usually not long term. There are many home remedies that can purge you’re your system of the flu symptoms and have you feeling like your old self again within days of being infected. The side effects from home remedies are very minor compared to those that you can get from the flu vaccine. So, before taking a flu vaccine or allowing your child to take one, think of the risk and understand that there is usually a 50% chance that things will go according to plan, but do you want to be a part of the 50% that does not go according to plan?
