According
to the
Vancouver
Sun:
Researchers,
led by
Vancouver's Dr.
Danuta
Skowronski, an
influenza expert
at the B.C.
Centre for Disease
Control,
noticed in the
early weeks of
the [2009
H1N1] pandemic
that people
who got a flu
shot for the
2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to
get infected with the pandemic virus than
people who hadn't received a flu shot. Five
studies done in several provinces showed
the same unsettling results."
ABC News also reported on the findings of
Professor Collignon from the Australian National
University:
Some interesting data has become available
which suggests that if you get immunised
with the seasonal vaccine, you get
“less broad protection than if you get a natural
infection,' he said. 'It is particularly relevant
for children because it is a condition
they call original antigenic sin, which basically
means if you get infected with a natural
virus, that gives you not only
protection against that virus but similar viruses
or even in fact quite different flu viruses
in the next year.'
'We may be perversely setting ourselves up
that if something really new and nasty
comes along, that people who have been
vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible
compared to getting this natural infection.'"
It’s Better to Get Sick
What is contained in a flu vaccine is only an
educated GUESS. Researchers pick maybe
2 or 3 flu viruses that look like they may
have the highest contagious impact and
they create the vaccine. If they guess
wrong, people get sick. But you may still get
sick, because it requires a couple of weeks
for immunity to build up.
There is a difference between building immunity
with a vaccine and building it because
you got sick. It used to be said that
as you got older, you would actually have
fewer colds and flus because you would’ve
built up your immune system naturally. So
it’s strange that over the years and decades,
that you’re now told that the old are
more susceptible to colds and flus.
I write so that you will think.
Wouldn’t it better if you didn’t have to
guess? Wouldn’t it be better if you could
take care of yourself in such a way that
colds and flus wouldn’t have to be a part of
your life? In order to prevent anything, you
have to know why something happens. So
everyone in modern medicine says it’s the
viruses. The problem with that theory is that
it is inconsistent.
