Will The Flu Shot Save Your Life?

What is the evidence for its effectiveness?
Cochrane Systematic Review of Databases meta-analysis,published in BMJ
: Publication in prestigious journals is associated with partial or total industry funding, and this association is not explained by study size or quality.
Government-funded studies were less likely to favour effectiveness of the vaccine
() the higher the studys quality (and the lower the risk of bias),the higher the probability of concordance. In addition, the higher the probability of concordance, the lower the probability that a studys conclusions were in favour of vaccines effectiveness.

Flu vaccines for healthcare workers: "no conclusive evidence"

Package insert from squalene-containing vaccine to be used in Canada

Insert sows that NO studies have been done on children under 3. Only very limited studies have been done on children 3-9. 20% of children developed flu-like symptoms with fever following vaccination.
NO long-term safety data available WHATSOEVER.

On regimen of two half-doses, seroprotection (based on antibody titers) rate in children age 3-5 ad 6-9 drops to 6% and 4.5%, respectively, after 6 months. With regimen of two full doses, it is 68% and 61% after 6 months. Remember that efficacy as determined by antibody titers does NOT translate into equivalent effectiveness (see Cochrane review) and influenza vaccine has NEVER been shown to reduce days of illness, days missed from work, hospitalizations or deaths in adults or children.

It's not your fault but I believe this language is called gobbledegook, that is, it is deliberately difficult for simple people to understand. You did well to try and interpret it for us. The truth would shock people so they have to disguise it in jargon we cannot understand.

[thetruthergirls]

I try. It's just different vocabulary. On the Cochrane site, they try to put it in plain english as much as possible.

i think theyre manufacting this pandemic on purpose so they can pass this healthcare bill and then have total control over our lives the swine flu i think is ahoax the vaccine is whats killing people not the virus but whats in the vac dont get it im just getting over the flu and i have an immune condition and i will not be getting the vac anytime soon theyre lying to us

Gee you don't hear this from Canada's health care minister.

I have never gotten a flu shot in my life. I am 52 years old. I rarely get sick. If I do feel sick it is usually because my body is going through a normal cleanse and I drink more water which makes me feel better pretty quickly. Also I have found that if I stay away from dairy products I don't get colds.

There is a good article in this weeks (last weeks?) New Scientist where they claim to dispel the myths about H1N1 but scanning it at the supermarket I could not see that they mentioned mercury, also they claimed that adjuvent has not been approved for use in USA vaccines. Check it out people, it is a half way average magazine.

FLu shot just as deadly as the flu
