Re: Flu shots less effective than thought?

[Guest guest]

Funny, I was just going to send out an email about this. I was watching CNN news just now and the reporter said at the end "and that's another reason why I'm not getting a flu shot."

What? I almost fell off the couch. If I didn't have the close captioning on, I wouldn't have believed what I heard.

Anyway, it seems the vaccine-pushers have forgotten that they just made a stronger flu shot only this year! It's called Flu Zone high dose. Idiots.

And if healthy adults only have a 59% effectiveness rate, what does that tell you about unhealthy people who presumably would have a poorer response to the vaccine?

Love this: "Osterholm said previous reports have suggested that flu shots are much more effective - in the range of 70 percent to 90 percent."

Suggested? What happened to scientific proof? And 70-90%? That's acceptable science? Can you imagine your child coming home with a test score like that?

I saw this study on our local news, and at the end, they said although it was 59 % effective, that it was still effective and to still get your flu shot. Doesn't make any sense!

On another note, here was the interpretation of the study from natural news.

Shock vaccine study reveals influenza vaccines only prevent the flu in 1.5 out of 100 adults (not 60% as you've been told)
