6 Reasons to Avoid Getting a Flu Shot

Flu season is uppon us, and along with it is the newest versions of the flu shot. You’ve seen the ads to get your flu shot all over town, maybe even a commercial or two. Well I’ve done a little research on exactly what’s going on with these new flu shots every year, and I’ve come to spread the message against them. Here are 6 great reasons to avoid the flu shot.
(list comes from NaturalNews.com, but I added some information for comical effect)
- There is no real evidence that shows that flu shots actually work. That’s right people, the verdict is in. There is no proof that these work, so if you want to waste money on fake medicine, I’ve got some sweettarts that will protect you against aids. You don’t want aids do you?
- Flu vaccines, along with many other vaccines, contain mercury. Remember in junior high chemistry, where your teacher told you not to break the thermometer because mercury could kill you? Well mercury hasn’t gotten any better for you over the years, and a multi-dose Flu vaccine contains 250 times the legal amount of hazardous waste. Something tells me that can’t be good for you.
- Flu vaccines have antibiotics in them. While this may sound like a good thing, some of these antibiotics are known to wipe out the good bacteria along with the bad. Does immunodeficiency sound like a good way to prevent the flu?
- Vaccines contain Polysorbate 80. This highly toxic agent can seriously lower the immune system and cause anaphylactic shock which can kill.
- Flu shots contain aluminum and formaldehyde, which growing evidence shows causes Alzheimer’s Disease. That’s right. People who get the flu shot for 3-5 years are 10 times more likely to develop the disease. Want Alzheimer’s? Get a flu shot.
- With all of these harmful effects, and no proof of prevention, it just isn’t worth the risk. Remember, these won’t prevent you from getting the flu, and if you read the other reasons, are you really willing to risk all these for a glorified placebo? I know I’m not.
Here are some tips from NaturalNews.com to help avoid the flu.
- Get plenty of sunlight each day
- exercise daily
- eat plenty of immuno boosting foods (citrus fruits, spinach, garlic, etc)
- cut the sugar
- deal with emotional stress
- get better sleep

I’m 21 years old and my mother tricked me into getting a flu shot. We were on our way to do errands and when i looked up from the car ride of texting, we were at our family physician’s. So I was forced to sit in the waiting room full of sick people/snotty kids, got a sore arm, payed $25, and just a few nights ago came down with the worst flu i’ve ever had in my life.

@Mooshoopoo Hey buddy, sorry to hear about you getting the flu. If it’s any consolation, you know now for the future. And you should tell your mom, and anyone else you think necessary about this article. Well, maybe you should point them to the NaturalNews.com article instead.

I’ve never once had a flu shot and rarely get the flu (knock on wood). It’s just another way for the pharmaceutical companies to get your money. There are so many different types of the influenza virus, they just guess on which one will be prevalent this season and that’s the shot you get. It could be a totally different strain of the virus and you’re shot is then worthless.

Very informative tips. I was just about to get a flu shot but now I think I’ll pass!
That’s why it pays to do your research.

Hello my name is billy joe.
Last year, I sorta got in a big argument with my parents about them going for flu shots, I warned them that they are dangerous,, but they think Im a conpiracy theorist, so they refused to listen.
Anyways about a week later, my step dad took his flu shot, and died the same day of either a heart attack, or stroke.
No autopsy was done,,, and the flu shot was never reported .
I can verify all of this, if anyone wants.
My question is, how often does this happen, and never get reported?
If anyone knows of a great way to inform people, and get others to share similar storys,,, lets share ideas.
my email is vmax9724@aol.com
If you write,, please as title it as flue shot, then I will know its not junk mail.
God bless billy joe
