- Regarding the flu vaccine, it was found to match approximately 1% of the actual viruses that was affecting these 70,000 subjects that represented the population.
- The same flu vaccine only slightly reduced lost days at work due to flu symptoms during the year.
- Most importantly, The flu vaccine caused" local harms and an estimated 1.6 additional cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome per million vaccinations."
Regarding the vaccine, it was worthless. It was only effective against 1% of the viruses causing the flu during that year, only slightly improved days lost due to flu-like symptoms and created new conditions of Guillain- Barre Syndrome.
Your body has a natural defense immune system to handle all those viruses, bacteria and other potentially infecting organisms. With proper rest, diet, exercise, mental attitude and chiropractic adjustments to keep your body functioning at 100% optimum capacity, I say forgo that flu shot. Trust your body's natural, innate response to disease.
