  • Critical thinkers all over the world are wondering…

    It appears the COVID 19 cured both the FLU and MEASLES as we haven’t heard a peep about either one!!

    According to the CDC for the 2020-2021 flu season, there are some changes to FluView surveillance methodology.

    “In previous flu seasons, the NCHS surveillance data were used to calculate the percent of all deaths occurring each week that had pneumonia and/or influenza (P&I) listed as a cause of death. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 coded deaths were added to P&I to create the PIC (pneumonia, influenza, and/or COVID-19) classification. PIC includes all deaths with pneumonia, influenza, and/or COVID-19 listed on the death certificate.”

    TWO DIFFERENT VIRUSES CODED WITH THE SAME CLASSIFICATION

    Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis.

    To keep the statistics as muddy as possible it appears they are combining flu with COVID 19 and pneumonia on the death statistics. We certainly don’t want to have accurate figures for our scientists – right?!

    There are those who aren’t swept up by propaganda and are desperately trying to filter through the intentionally manipulated data to help determine the risk of this virus. Enter Dr. Frank who says the following on his website:

    Sometimes when we don’t understand everything that is going on in a situation, scientists develop “empirical” models. Just pure math that works; no understanding whatsoever. Sometimes we build models that are a mix of what we know and what we don’t. Sometimes we can get away without knowing some things because they average out to being insignificant. The possible approaches are endless, and fun to explore if you are a geek. And great to learn mathematics with, which is why I make my students build a model in calculus class.

    So in all this Covid modeling, I’ve deployed all three approaches. And I’ve used common language, with minimal jargon to make it accessible to everyone. And it is working well. You guys are getting it.

    Dr. Frank’s work is part of a long-line of thinkers who look at data, analyze the data into statistics, and use the results to make informed decisions. Our prayer is that it provides comfort and insight. Dr. Frank received a B.A. in Chemistry from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California.

    COVID-19 Scientific Prediction Model (March 26)

    Above is a chart posted by Scott Atlas:

    Blue = cases
    Red = deaths

    …Despite mask mandates having been in effect for months, across the country. If we focus on death rates – even with the convoluted numbers – this isn’t something worth shutting down our country and destroying our freedom.

  • Flu Vaccine Anticipated to Surpass $8 Billion

    $8 BILLION

    That’s a lot of money. There will be an even stronger push for the flu vaccine over the next 8 years to get to that $8 Billion mark.

    The average time for manufacturing vaccines and ensuring their availability in the market is approximately 2 years, although flu vaccines are launched in the market in a period of around 6 months. Researchers concluded that various pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are able to manufacture flu vaccines in a shorter duration of time to become major drivers of the market.

    Remember this when they tell you that vaccines aren’t about making money and the manufacturers are doing this out of the goodness of their heart to help the health of humanity.

    https://www.pharmacytimes.com/news/study-flu-vaccine-market-to-reach-approx-us-8-billion-by-2029

    “According to a research study by PMR, the global flu vaccine market is projected to account for a market value of approximately $8 billion by the end of 2029. Increasing vaccination rates and a focus on preventive instead of reactive methods are expected to drive the growth of the market, according to the study.”

  • Beware of Flu Medications

    Beware this and other flu and viral medications. Read all package inserts carefully, search for the latest science, and always consult your most trusted health provider. Besides presenting health risks, the products–if they work–generally only shorten some symptoms by about a day.

    The FDA speedily approved Xofluza, the highly touted follow-up to Roche’s blockbuster flu med Tamiflu, last fall for use in patients over 12, and the company has pursued an aggressive marketing and development plan for the product. It continues to study the drug in children under 12 and has already nabbed that designation in other countries, including Japan. Early test results show the potential of drug-resistance mutations in the flu virus after taking the medication. This could become problematic in hospitals and nursing homes, as well as in large families with people living in close proximity.

    Potential Dangers of Tamiflu

    Although the medication is marketed as safe and effective, concerns have emerged about the potential side effects of Tamiflu, which have been linked to reports of:

    • Behavioral Changes.
    • Suicide Ideation.
    • Suicide Attempts.
    • Attempts At Self Harm.
    • Hallucination.

  • CDC Grossly Exaggerated Flu Deaths Designed to Market Vaccine

    Have you read or heard that there are an estimated 36,000 deaths in the United States, each year from the flu? Did you see the newest propaganda from the CDC citing the 78,000 excepted flu deaths?

    “[This number differs] wildly from the sober tallies recorded on death certificates — by law, every certificate must show a cause — and reported by the official agencies that collect and keep vital statistics.”

    “According to the National Vital Statistics System in the U.S., for example, annual flu deaths in 2010 amounted to just 500 per year…”And even that number could be too high.

    A British Medical Journal study has revealed that the number of people confirmed as having the flu virus is grossly exaggerated by the U.S. government. 

    “Only about 15-20 percent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms have the influenza virus — the other 80-85 percent actually caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done.”

    During the 2003 flu season ‘the manufacturers were telling us that they weren’t receiving a lot of orders for vaccine,’ Dr. Glen Nowak, associate director for communications at CDC’s National Immunization Program, told National Public Radio.

    “The CDC’s decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade when it realized the public wasn’t following its advice on the flu vaccine.

    ‘It really did look like we needed to do something to encourage people to get a flu shot.’”

    …despite the evidence that the influenza virus is responsible for only a small number of cases of flu-like symptoms (aka “influenza-like illness”).

    Almost 2 decades of deceit

    “[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”
    Boom.

    “Are US flu death figures more PR than science?”(BMJ 2005; 331:1412):

    You see, the CDC has created one overall category that combines both flu and pneumonia deaths. Why do they do this? Because they disingenuously assume that the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu.

    This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes.

    But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus.

    Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance, that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths. 18 deaths.

    “The CDC unabashedly decided to create a mass market for the flu vaccine by enlisting the media into panicking the public. An obedient and unquestioning media obliged by hyping the numbers, and 10 years later it is obliging still.”

    http://www.nationalacademies.org/hmd/~/media/E9B963EDB28645C5ABCC22467120662D

    From a 2009 report published in “Clinical Evidence”, of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Tom Jefferson found that the portion of influenza-like illness that is caused by the influenza virus maybe just 7 percent of cases. And therefore, the influenza virus is actually a rare cause of influenza-like illness (ILI).

    Unfortunately, even though the data that Jefferson and his team at Cochrane have been analyzing for the past two decades has continued to support their findings on the (lack of) impact of influenza vaccines on ILI, their research is being ignored and was actually removed from the BMJ website.

    In a 2018 article on the Cochrane website, Jefferson writes:

    “We await to see whether anyone has the interest or the courage to develop effective ways to control upper respiratory viral syndromes. Meanwhile, our reviews will remain as a testimonial to the scientific failure of industry and governments to address the most important clinical outcomes for patients.”

  • Kids Vaccinated with Flu Mist Are Spreading Disease

    After seeing a 2% drop in vaccine sales for flu, the ACIP panel brought back the ineffective FluMist live virus multi-strand flu vaccines. It was so ineffective last time it was pulled mid season because it hardly worked. This time doctors won’t know for sure if it works better than before — or better than other vaccine options — until it’s widely used again during an actual flu season. They just want your family to participate in their experiment. More astonishing is they are aware that this vaccine has the innate ability to expose EVERYONE around the vaccinated individual with multiple strains of the flu for almost month. Why would the agency designed to ‘control disease’ the CDC and manufacturers, whose products protect us from disease, intentionally putting children at day cares, schools and teams at greatest risk for flu ‘outbreaks’ this year?

    Just like a dog or cat sheds hair, the human body gives off, or “sheds,” flu virus when infected. FluMist contains weakened, but live flu strains that infect the body enough to provoke a response from the immune system, but aren’t meant to make a person sick.The manufacturer argued that more viral shedding suggested that the virus was activating the immune system -WebMD

    What does SHEDDING mean?

    It means capable of spreading the multiple strains of flu to all the other children in daycare, students in the classroom, children on the team, teachers, coaches, grandparents…you get the idea. So according to SCIENTIFIC evaluations of the vaccines performed by the manufacturers the vaccinated children are putting EVERYONE at risk exposing them to multiple strains of the flu after being vaccinated with the multiple strand flu mist vaccine.

    Manufactured Flu Season?

    While you are getting the needle free flu midst for your child to protect them you will instead be exposing those around your child with multiple strains of the flu for up to 69 days according to studies. The Emerging Risks of Live Virus & Virus Vectored Vaccines: Vaccine Strain Virus Infection, Shedding & Transmission –http://ow.ly/z75m300DfJg

    The most recent research from the National Academy of Sciences proves that people who are vaccinated spread the virus more, are not protected, and prior vaccination is harming people’s immunity!

    Does the flu vaccine protect you or those around you? 

    Well according to the research, the opposite would be true. The findings of the study found that those individuals who had received the flu vaccine were “shedding” 6.3 times more virus than the unvaccinated!
    Straight from the research:

    “Self-reported vaccination for the current season was associated with a trend (P < 0.10) toward higher viral shedding in fine aerosol samples; vaccination with both the current and previous year’s seasonal vaccines, however, was significantly associated with greater fine-aerosol shedding in unadjusted and adjusted models (P < 0.01). In adjusted models, we observed 6.3 (95% CI 1.9–21.5) times more aerosol shedding among cases with vaccination in the current and previous season compared with having no vaccination in those two seasons.”

    “The association of current and prior year vaccination with increased shedding of influenza A might lead one to speculate that certain types of prior immunity promote lung inflammation, airway closure, and aerosol generation. This first observation of the phenomenon needs confirmation. If confirmed, this observation, together with recent literature suggesting reduced protection with annual vaccination, would have implications for influenza vaccination recommendations and policies.”

    Plain Language.

    Higher viral shedding means that those who were vaccinated were breathing out more influenza virus and would be spreading it more than the unvaccinated. So when doctors, health departments, or health “authorities” like the CDC push the vaccine by saying things like “the vaccine protects you and those around you,” “everyone needs the vaccine because of ‘herd’ immunity,” or “you have to get the vaccine so you protect the very young, the elderly and the very weak/cancer patients etc.,” they would actually be lying.

    6.3 times more aerosol shedding means that those who were vaccinated were spreading more virus into the air around them just by breathing when compared to those who had not received the vaccine that same year and/or the flu vaccine from the previous year. 

    The implications of this finding now show that those who are vaccinated pose a greater risk to the immune compromised, i.e. cancer patients, the elderly and the very young and that the unvaccinated spread the disease less and protect others better! 

    In essence, the vaccine does the exact opposite of what people have been told and explains why we are seeing more and more people get sick earlier each year and more people die from the flu.

    Reduced protection with annual vaccination, means that the flu vaccine weakens a person immunity against infectious illness. This fact has been shown in multiple studies on children and confirmed with animal studies. One such study deserving of “honorable mention” is this study: Effectiveness of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in influenza-related hospitalization in children: A case-control study which found that children receiving the annual flu vaccine had a “threefold increased risk of hospitalization.”

  • Elderberry syrup is better than a shot to avoid the flu

    Logic and evidence-based proof that elderberry syrup is the better choice to boost immunity against the flu. That’s right! Elderberries have been proven to both boost the immune system and shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms significantly. 

    What Are Elderberries?

    Black elderberry extract (Sambucus species) has been reported to have been used for years by native Americans, mostly against rheumatism and fever. Sambucol is a natural remedy with antiviral properties, especially against the human influenza virus. Elderberry is used for its antioxidant activity, to lower cholesterol, to improve vision, to boost the immune system, to improve heart health and for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. Bioflavonoids and other proteins in the juice destroy the ability of cold and flu viruses to infect a cell.

    Elderberry Evidence

    Believe it or not (Believe it, buddy!) elderberries have been studied in REAL labs!   In fact, they have been studied in double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized studies.  (That’s more than we can say for some vaccine studies!).  Elderberries have been proven to both boost the immune system and shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms significantly.

    At the Bundesforschungsanstalt Research Center for Food in Karlsruhe, Germany, scientists conducting studies on Elderberry showed that elderberry anthocyanins enhance immune function by boosting the production of cytokines. These unique proteins act as messengers in the immune system to help regulate immune response, thus helping to defend the body against disease.

    Study #1

    A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study.

    Results: 

    1. Sambucol was shown to be effective in vitro against 10 strains of influenza virus
    2. Sambucol reduced the duration of flu symptoms to 3-4 days
    3. Convalescent phase serum showed a higher antibody level to influenza virus in the Sambucol group, than in the control group.
    4. Sambucol is beneficial to immune system activation and in the inflammatory process in healthy individuals or in patients with various diseases.
    5. The results of this study show that all Sambucol elderberry formulations have a strong stimulatory effect on inflammatory cytokine production by human normal monocytes.
    6. The study was not funded in any way by the company which produces and markets the product of Sambucol in Israel.The study can be found here

    Study #2

    Here is another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in Norway.  Patients received 15 ml of elderberry or placebo syrup four times a day for 5 days, and recorded their symptoms using a visual analogue scale.

     Results:

    1. Symptoms were relieved on average 4 days earlier and use of rescue medication was significantly less in those receiving
      elderberry extract compared with placebo.
    2. Elderberry extract seems to offer an efficient, safe and cost-effective treatment
      for influenza.
    3. None of the patients reported any adverse reactions related to the medication. (The same can NOT be said for the flu shot!)
    4. A complete cure was achieved within 2 – 3 days in nearly 90% of the elderberry-treated group compared with at least 6 days in the placebo group.
    5. The results of our study show that elderberry syrup is also effective against influenza A virus infections.
    6. In view of its in vitro and in vivo efficacy on influenza A and B viruses, elderberry extract offers an efficient, safe and cost-effective supplement to the present armamentarium of medications for the prophylaxis and treatment
      of influenza.This study can be viewed here 

    DIY Elderberry Syrup

    Hippocrates Is Said To Have Called This Plant . . .
    His “medicine chest,” and for thousands of years it’s been revered in folk medicine for its healing properties. (source) Now studies are starting to confirm what tradition has long held: elderberries are a delicious and effective way to support immune function during cold and flu season.

    Unlike fire cider, which supports the immune system through an infusion of pungent and spicy herbs, this elderberry syrup recipe uses a sweet and simple decoction of berries and honey. Learn HOW TO from easy video tutorial from mommypotomus

    Study # 3 

    Here is a placebo-controlled, double blind study was carried out on a group of individuals living in an agricultural community (Kibbutz) during an outbreak of influenza B in Panama in 1993.

    Results

    1. A significant improvement of the symptoms, including fever, was seen in 93.3% of the cases in the SAM-treated group within 2 days, whereas in the control group 91.7% of the patients showed an improvement within 6 days.
    2. A complete cure was achieved within 2 to 3 days in nearly 90% of the SAM-treated group and within at least 6 days in the placebo group.
    3. Considering the efficacy of the extract in vitro on all strains of influenza virus tested, the clinical results, its low cost, and absence of side-effects, this preparation could offer a possibility for safe treatment for influenza A and B.
    4. Sambucol Elderberry Extract and its formulations activate and boost the healthy immune system by increasing inflammatory cytokine production.
    5. The most striking increase was noted in TNF-alpha production (44.9 fold).
    6. Sambucol was shown to be effective in vitro against 10 strains of influenza virus.This study can be viewed here

    Conclusion: The Flu Vaccine Just Doesn’t Measure Up
    10% ‘effective’ flu shot in 2018 and the CDC and Health Department campaigns still encourage people to load up on the toxic shot.

    The evidence speaks for itself.

    • The elderberry has no known harmful side effects, but the flu shot does
    • The elderberry syrup works with your natural immune response system, the flu shot does not
    • Elderberries have been proven to be effective against 10 strains of the flu
    • Elderberries have been proven to shorten the duration of colds and flu
    • Elderberry syrup is safe for pregnant women and children over 1 year of age (due to the honey content) (Check with your doc before starting/stopping any health regimen)
    • The flu shot is even less effective in senior citizens and children under 2 years of age (Those who need it the most! Read more here)
    • The flu shot has never been tested in pregnant women
    • There have been reported deaths and serious injuries proceeding the flu shot (Seizures, narcolepsy, convulsions, encephalomyelitis, facial palsy, facial paresis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, hypoesthesia, myelitis, neuritis, neuropathy, paresthesia and syncope just to name a few) Read more here.
    • The flu mist is a live virus and can spread the flu to others up to 21 days following the application (Isn’t that what we’re trying to avoid!?)
  • FLU SHOT? Not for my kids!

    FLU SHOT? Not for my kids!

    THE FLU SHOT IS NOT TESTED FOR SAFETY IN CHILDREN

    Despite what your health practitioner will say as they attempt to convince you to get the flu vaccine, the shot has not been evaluated for cancer risks, safety in pregnant women, or safety in various age range categories for children. 
    Once again a small bit of research reveals that vaccine science is not clear. 

    Vaccine package insert warnings which read as follows:
    • Flubok: “Safety and effectiveness in children 3 years to less than 18 years of age have not been established.”
    • Flucelvax: “Safety and effectiveness have not been established in children less than 18 years of age.”
    • Fluzone: “Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 6 months have not been established.”
    • Fluvirin: “The safety and immunogenicity have not been established in children under 4 years of age.”
    • FluLaval: “Safety and effectiveness in children younger than 3 years have not been established.”
    • Afluria: “…not approved for use in children less than 5 years of age.”
    • Fluarix: “…not approved for use in children younger than 3 years.”
    • Fluvirin: “The safety and immunogenicity have not been established in children under 4 years of age.”

    READ THE LABEL!  
    Influenza vaccines contain three or four influenza virus strains and are produced using either chicken eggs or genetically-engineered dog kidney. Vaccine ingredients may include: formaldehyde, antibiotics, hydrocortisone, non-human protein and genetic materials, polysorbate 80, Thimerosal, MSG (monosodium glutamate), all of which are considered poisonous to humans.

    All Influenza Vaccines Clearly State:
    “This vaccine has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility.”

  • FLU SHOT NOT when pregnant. 4250% INCREASE in FETAL DEATH after flu shot

    FLU SHOT NOT when pregnant. 4250% INCREASE in FETAL DEATH after flu shot

    You would probably think that since the CDC states the annual flu vaccine is the “best” way to avoid catching the seasonal flu, that it has been proven to be effective. Review the chart using CDC’s OWN NUMBERS the flu shot has NEVER been very effective.

    In fact, it is hard to find ANY valid scientific evidence to support flu vaccine effectiveness or safety — and this is particularly true for key target groups for which the CDC says the flu shot is most important, like seniors, children and pregnant women!

    One Flu VACCINE INSERT READS CLEARLY :
    “There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with Flulaval.”     

     ALL Flu Vaccine manufacture’s package insert warnings which read as follows:
    “no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. …this vaccine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed”
    section 8.1 in the following influenza vaccine inserts listed on the left 

    Pregnant mother and her unborn child become part of the HUMAN EXPERIMENT with the FluLaval Quadrivalent vaccine.
    *When you get a FluLaval Quadrivalent vaccine you and your unborn child become part of the experiment. Rather than complete safety research in advance, GlaxoSmithKline maintains a surveillance registry to collect data on pregnancy outcomes and newborn health status outcomes following vaccination with FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT during pregnancy.
    (See Page 12 of the Manufacture Insert)

    If you’re pregnant, beware of doctors using aggressive fear tactics pushing you to get vaccinated. Here’s why…
    On September 27, 2012, the Human and Environmental Toxicology Journal (HET) published a study by Dr. Gary Goldman reporting a 4,250 percent increase in the number of miscarriages and stillbirths reported to VAERS in the 2009/2010 flu season. That year the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had recommended the double-dosing pregnant mothers with two flu shots spiked with mercury. In his abstract, Goldman said:“The aim of this study was to compare the number of inactivated-influenza vaccine–related spontaneous abortion and stillbirth (SB) reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database during three consecutive flu seasons beginning 2008/2009 and assess the relative fetal death reports associated with the two-vaccine 2009/2010 season.” [source:http://vactruth.com/2012/11/23/flu-shot-spikes-fetal-death/

    This is what PREGNANT WOMEN need to know about the mercury in flu vaccines:
    • Mercury is a neurotoxin that rapidly crosses the placenta and accumulates in the fetus at even higher levels than the mother. Mercury is known to be highly toxic to brain tissue and can impact critical stages of brain development during pregnancy.
    • Scientific studies have documented that the mercury used in vaccines enters into the brain and rapidly converts to a form of mercury that is difficult to detoxify and capable of interrupting critical stages of brain development.
    • Thimerosal-containing flu vaccines contain 250 times the mercury level the EPA uses to classify hazardous waste. Unused thimerosal-containing flu vaccine with mercury should be returned to the manufacturer for appropriate disposal as hazardous waste.
    • The dangers of the flu to pregnant women and the benefits of flu vaccination may both be exaggerated since many of the studies are conducted or funded by vaccine manufacturers. One of the largest scientific studies to date, of approximately 50,000 pregnant women over five flu seasons, found no difference in the risk for developing influenza illness among those who received the influenza vaccine during pregnancy and those who did not.
    • According to flu vaccine package inserts, “Safety and effectiveness has not been established in pregnant women or nursing mothers and should only be given to a pregnant woman if “clearly needed.”
