The Flu Vaccine—separating fact from fiction….
The Flu Vaccine—separating fact from fiction….

The modern flu vaccine fools the body to think it has the flu, the reason one gets queasy and tired for a few days after being injected. The normal bodily response is the flooding of the system with antibodies, a future protectorate from the very specific engines that cause the full-blown flu. The vaccine does NOT give you the flu however—this is an important designation that few understand.
There is a dangerous ingredient that is actually a preservative in the widely used vaccine one usually finds in a doctor’s office, called THYMEROSOL. This element, many feel, causes autism, seizures and down-right no-fun-no-win illnesses of many kinds, mainly neurological. The way around THYMEROSOL is to go to a pharmacist instead of a doctor (Walgreens, CVS, Payless, Safeway, etc.). Before paying for the vaccine, ask the pharmacist if they have the “natural, preservative-free” variety, without THYMEROSOL. If they don’t carry it, walk on by and don’t look back. If they have the good stuff, fork over the $28 price tag. Insurance/Medicaid DOES NOT pay for the good stuff, btw. Now, that’s a medical set-up, seriously!
There’s lots of controversy over vaccines in general; this time of the year, we are all bombarded by the fight, pro or con. A FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT VACCINES: if brave colonists, right here in this country, would not have risked and tried-out the theory of vaccination, many thousands more would have perished in the 1700’s of the largest smallpox plague to hit our shores before or since. Now, in this generation and the one that came before, after 300 years of successful vaccination programs in the US, parents have opted out of vaccines for their wee ones because of the spectral promise of autism—understandable on more than one level. But, because of this “new” attitude against general vaccination (really OLD thinking, pre-17th Century, in fact), whooping cough is now epidemic in the Pacific NW and new reported cases of smallpox, a once ridden curse on the world, is surfacing here too.
People who suffer from compromised immune systems (auto-immune disease, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.) should NOT be without a flu vaccine—regardless of reason. This is further complicated by those who have health-care workers in their immediate families. Germs are germs, viruses are viruses; when brought to one’s doorstep, every member of the household stands to risk much, including their lives! That is the reason that I do not entertain others that have NOT been immunized for the flu, from late September to early May. The holidays can be lonely, but, I am alive and the flu vaccine is one reason for my longevity.
Bottom line: BUYER BEWARE, BUYER BE SMART!
