Govt. Researchers: Flu Shots Not Effective in Elderly, After All

Govt. Researchers: Flu Shots Not Effective in Elderly, After All Sharyl Attkisson | October 26, 2014 An important and definitive "mainstream" government study done nearly a decade ago got little attention because the science came down on the wrong side. It found that after decades and billions of dollars spent promoting flu shots for the elderly, the mass vaccination program did not result in saving lives. In fact, the death rate among the elderly increased substantially. But when they finished, no matter how they crunched the numbers, the data kept telling the same story: flu shots were of no benefit to the elderly. Quite the opposite. The death rate had increased markedly since widespread flu vaccination among older Americans. The scientists finally had to acknowledge that decades of public health thought had been mistaken. As I read it flu shots did not change the mortality rate. But the study did not address whether flu shots reduced the number of people that got the flu. I do not get a flu shot because I think it will save my life. I get a flu shot so I do not get sick as a dog with the flu. Since I started getting flu shots, I have not gotten the flu. Dan |
