Scientists Say Flu Vaccine 'Unreliable For Elderly'
One of the most berated and bullied flu vaccine demographics are the elderly. The elderly demographic is a large money making demographic for pharmaceutical companies. Many elderly people follow the instructions given from their Doctors or from their nursing homes without any question. They are intimidated into believing that doing anything contrary to those orders means certain illness and death. Many of our elderly also suffer from things such as Alzheimer's disease as well, creating an even more difficult atmosphere for them to comprehend what's actually being done to them.
Well now scientists are admitting that the flu shot is generally a failure for the elderly. They claim to know why, as well. From 2007 to 2011, a flu shot study was performed on 212 people, 54 of which were elderly. They did blood sample analysis throughout the study attempting to ascertain consistencies between successes and failures of the flu shot.
What they found was that there were several molecular signatures in those blood samples that allowed them to predict with 80 percent accuracy whether the vaccine would provide protection approximately four weeks after the vaccine was administered. Specifically, they found that within a week after the vaccine was administered younger people tended to show high levels of what are known as B cells, which produce antibodies. However, elderly people tended to have high levels of different immune cells which are called monocytes. These cells generate an inflammatory response in the body.
In other words, even those who are proponents of the flu shot are telling us that it never really worked on the elderly. I take extreme issue with this seeing how over the years, they've pushed the elderly into flu shots even knowing, by their own standards based in hyperbole, that they aren't effective. The company line now, of course, will be that "even a low success rate is better than no success rate." But this way of thinking doesn't acknowledge, of course, failure rates, which are largely only attributed to someone getting the flu. What about injuries? What about the unreasonable injection of chemicals into an elderly person? What about giving the flu to an elderly person without discretion?
