Peak flu season hits Mountain View

Original post made on Jan 23, 2015

Flu season is in full swing in the Bay Area, leaving four people dead and sending some patients into intensive care. In an effort to curb the spread of the virus, local hospitals are restricting visitors to keep contagious flu-carriers away from patients.

The flu shot doesn't work.
Yes, it's true: CDC admits this year's flu shot doesn't work.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has admitted that this year's flu vaccine currently provides less than 50 percent protection against the most dangerous and common circulating strain of the influenza virus.
However, you should always avoid flu shots anyway as they are extremely toxic! Mercury tests conducted on vaccines at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab have revealed a shockingly high level of toxic mercury in an influenza vaccine (flu shot) made by GlaxoSmithKline (lot #9H2GX). Tests conducted via ICP-MS document mercury in the Flulaval vaccine at a shocking 51 parts per million, or over 25,000 times higher than the maximum contaminant level of inorganic mercury in drinking water set by the EPA!

Come on, the myth about the dangerous elements in the vaccine has been debunked many times. Here is a nice writeup: Web Link

Now, now Chandler. Mel's named your game in a dozen words. You cut and pasted your info from a conspiracy mongering organization. Some real data combined with some that is out of context, misstatements, and wild leaps ignoring the difference between correlation and causation.

51 ppm sounds scary, however the actual total amount you might get in an annual vaccination is very, very small. (If it was in your drinking water every day, of course it is another story.) The immeasurably small risk this poses is irrelevant compared to the risks of suffering the flu. Avoiding even a fraction of that is worthwhile.

Oh, and it is true that many people show a broad variety of side effects from flu shots - not from impurities, but from the way the vaccine works per se.

Are the 4 deaths in Mountain View, San Mateo County, Bay Area, or California?

Really? is this Flu story worth reporting? I say no! Stick with Mountain View appropriately researched news.

@mtview neighbor -- Right, because no one in Mountain View ever gets the flu.

Get real.
