Should Seniors be Getting the Flu Shot?

Earlier this year, an epidemiologist who has published over 30 articles in medical journals approached me with concerns about soaring death rates among seniors due to influenza. This scientist was concerned because a correlation was seen between the FDA approval of the Fluzone High-Dose flu vaccine for the elderly in 2009, and annual deaths recorded among seniors due to the flu. Knowing that his research cast a negative light on the high-dose flu vaccine for seniors, he knew that mainstream media sources would never publish his research, and turned to Health Impact News. We published his research anonymously. When the government and the corporate-sponsored mainstream media refuse to publish any negative information regarding the flu vaccine, lives are endangered. The government's own statistics show that the annual flu vaccine is by far the most dangerous vaccine in the U.S., with millions of dollars in settlements paid out each year for injuries and deaths due to the flu shot. It is rare these days when a corporate media source reports a flu death and gives the vaccination status of the one who allegedly died from the flu. But ABC 10 in San Diego this week reported that an 86-year-old woman died from the flu, and was also vaccinated with the flu shot. Since it is rare for the media to link deaths to any vaccines, just how common is it for seniors to suffer from the flu shot? In 2014, a nurse working in an assisted living facility in Georgia contacted Health Impact News when all of the residents allegedly developed a fever after receiving the flu shot, and within one week 5 of the residents had died.
