Flu Shots Put Children in the Hospital

(NaturalNews) At the 105th International Conference of the American Thoracic Society recently held in San Diego, researchers presented a study showing that the flu vaccine – widely touted as a “must have” for children with chronic illnesses – isn’t effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially ones with asthma. But here’s the most damning evidence that flu shots aren’t the safe, helpful vaccine the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC) and other government agencies claim: the researchers also found that children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine.
Scientist Avni Joshi, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told the meeting, “The concerns that vaccination may be associated with asthma exacerbations have been disproved with multiple studies in the past, but the vaccine’s effectiveness has not been well-established. This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the TIV (trivalent inactivated flu vaccine in children overall, as well as the children with asthma, to prevent influenza-related hospitalization.”
Paradoxically, he then presented the results that appeared to show the vaccine did cause health problems serious enough to result in children being admitted to hospitals for care.
The children were harmed by influenza vaccines.

To see if the vaccine actually reduced the number of hospitalizations for all children, especially those with asthma, over eight consecutive flu seasons, Dr. Joshi and his research team conducted a cohort study of 263 children. All the youngsters had been evaluated at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota between the ages of six months to 18 years and each had had laboratory-confirmed flu between 1996 to 2006. The scientists documented which of the children had been vaccinated against the flu, and those that had not received the flu jab. The kids’ asthma status was also noted along with records of and who did and did not require hospitalization.
Then the investigators checked the records for each child research subject to see who had been vaccinated before experiencing a flu-related episode that lead to a hospitalization during that illness. The results showed that youngsters who had received the flu vaccine had three times the risk of hospitalization, as compared to children who had not received the vaccine. For kids with asthma, there was even a higher risk of hospitalization in subjects who received the flu shot. No other measured factors, which included insurance coverage or severity of asthma, was found to impact the risk of hospitalization.
So does this raise a red flag against vaccinating children, especially those who are asthmatic, against the flu? Incredibly, despite the findings of his own study, Dr. Joshi refused to find fault with the flu shot. “While these findings do raise questions about the efficacy of the vaccine, they do not in fact implicate it as a cause of hospitalizations,” Dr. Joshi said in a statement to the media. “More studies are needed to assess not only the immunogenicity, but also the efficacy of different influenza vaccines in asthmatic subjects.”
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) continue to recommend annual influenza vaccination for all children aged six months to 18 years. Moreover, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (3rd revision) pushes annual flu vaccination of asthmatic children older than six months. However, as reported last fall in Natural News (http://www.naturalnews.com/024624.html) there’s little evidence flu shots work for youngsters. . A large study reported in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews of 260,000 children between 23 month and six discovered that the flu vaccine is no more effective that a placebo.

So-called “modern medicine” has more in common with a religion than a science.
The clown who did the study has firm science to show the vaccine is harmful yet he refuses to accept it. That’s why I never go to doctors, you can;t trust them to make a rational judgment based on the evidence.
Another example is heart bypass surgery. every piece of evidence form every study concludes that the surgery has ZERO value in helping heart patients, nothing, nada, zip except for putting $150k or in the hands of the medical industrial complex.
Same for statin drugs. the do absolutely NOTHING, yet the AMA types are yapping about putting them in the water supply ( they are already being found in municipal water supplies along with hormones and antidepressants)
These folks are pathetic.

Thanks for the info. Nobody knows the long term effects of these things!
Until they have been around for 100 years or so I would classify them as experimental.

Holy of holy’s-People are informing themselves,we arent stupid anymore.We will see what kool aid the world will drink with these shots when “shots” ring all over the world with people denying these vaccinations!!!!!
This guy is a dirt bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a 5 day trial in england before they start giving out the flu vaccinations-this will be nothing short of euthinasia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you going to get your kid a flu shot after just a 5 day trial for a vaccination????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I nor my children will be taking this shot. I am not contracting with the government in this matter. They can take the shot themselves first. Then, if they are still alive, I’ll think about it.

I haven’t had a flu shot for years and have been very good at fighting the viruses off. But being around crowds of people will increase your catching whatever they have ,tenfold. My mother ,who is 90, wants the shots so bad to extend her life that she is a willing lab rat. I warned her already against it, but there’s no other way. I will never take any intervieneous drug, so my antibodies have to help me out and carry my weight. We are on our own once again ,like a non swimmer.

I am an Registered Nurse and turned down a job making some side money working for a major mobile influenza vaccine clinic. $21 / hr giving influenza vaccinations, I applied for the job, but changed my mind, because I won’t be party to potentiallymaking people sick from untested medication.

There are homeopathic & other alternative remedies that will stop the flu in its tracks, although if you eat right and drink clean (i.e., unchemicalized) water, you can avoid getting it in the first place.
I will NEVER get a flu shot or any other inoculation unless they tie me down first, but even if I did get one my immune system is strong enough to fight off the effects. The sad thing is that the most vulnerable—young children and the very old—are the ones most likely to get the shot and most likely to have a bad reaction.

Never fear. The Matzo Man is here, to help you in getting an exemption from vaccines which cause asthma, lifelong immune system problems, and autism (a disease unknown in antiquity):
