With the focus of people completely shifted to this Chinese
Virus, there have been telling revelations about the yearly influenza season.
Many people, including me, have compared flu death statistics and China virus death statistics. An amazing admission from the CDC has now come out on this comparison. They now say that comparing the two diseases death rates is like comparing apples to oranges. They readily admit they do not actually count every flu case, and the death numbers they put out are just estimates. While with the China virus, they are actually “counting” every case. Maybe so.
In an article published in JAMA Internal Medicine by Drs.
Jeremy Foust of Harvard Medical School and Carlos de Rio of Emory University
School of Medicine, they say, “the CDC’s estimates of flu deaths between 2013-14
and 2018-19 ranged from 23,000 to 61,000. However, counted flu deaths during
that same period were between 3,448 and 15,620 yearly.” Quite a difference!
“On average, the CDC estimates of deaths attributed to
influenza were nearly six times greater than its reported counted numbers.”
Given these significant discrepancies between the CDC’s
estimated flu deaths and the actual counts, have we simply been talked into flu
vaccines all these years for no reason? (Asked and answered long before this!)
Its already known that more than 80% of the respiratory
infections that occur during the “flu season” are NOT actually caused by type A
or B influenza, but are “influenza-like” illnesses. This is why when you go to
the doctor with a bad cold, and they test you for flu, it is an 80% chance it
is not the flu. So that means a flu
shot, therefore, will do nothing to prevent what you have more than 80% of the
time just for this reason! No matter how
loud they scream that you need a flu shot, it is virtually worthless.
Research published in 2018 found that repeated annual flu
shots do little to protect you or your community. In fact, those who get a flu
shot actually excrete the infectious virus through their breath!
Further, while influenza can be deadly in rare cases, what
most health experts fail to tell you is that these deaths are likely the result
of secondary infections, like pneumonia and sepsis, not the virus itself. Also,
the flu vaccine is notoriously ineffective in the exact group they claim need
it the most, high risk senior citizens!
In fact, your chances of getting the flu after vaccination
are still greater than 50/50 in any given year. The CDC data shows a 36%
effectiveness for the vaccine in the 2017-18 season.
By trying to make this China virus look horrible, the health
experts have inadvertently admitted that the flu is not what they say it is,
that they inflate the death numbers to scare people into getting their
vaccines, and that vaccines really don’t work anyway. How’s that for a positive
outcome of the China Virus scare?!
Meanwhile, the current data from the CDC on the China virus
shows a fatality rate of those under 45 of “almost zero,” and between the ages
of 45-70, its somewhere between 0.05% and 0.3%. Hardly the death rates
predicted in the beginning. And don’t
tell me its because we mitigated…that is just not true!
Current CDC data shows deaths from pneumonia, influenza and
Covid have declined for 12 straight weeks, suggesting deaths have bottomed out,
yet the government is still fast tracking a push for vaccines.
The fear mongering of a second China Virus wave in
conjunction with flu season has already started in the media. Rather than
succumbing to the fear, take action now to boost your immune system against all
kinds of infectious disease.
Clinical trials of Vitamin D as it relates to the China
virus are underway, but we already know that Vitamin D optimization is a great
idea, not just for this virus, but for any others that come along. Do it today!
