    Evidence-based vaccinations: A scientific look at the missing science behind flu seasonvaccines

    As someone &ith a good deal of education in scientific thinking and the scientific method, 1have put considerable effort into attempting to find any real scientific evidence backing the&idespread use of influen/a vaccines 3flu season shots4' 5efore learning about nutrition andholistic health, 1 &as a computer soft&are entrepreneur, and 1 have a considerable scientific

    background in areas such as astronomy, physics, human physiology, microbiology, genetics,

    anthropology and human psychology' 6ne of my most-admired thought leaders is, in fact, thelate physicist #ichard eynman'

    1 don7t speak from a 8scientific8 point of vie& on9atural9e&svery often because it7s often adry, boring presentation style' 5ut 1 do kno& the difference bet&een real science andunkscience,and 1 find e.amples of unksciencein both the 8scientific8 side of things as &ell asthe 8alternative8 side of things'

    or e.ample, so-called 8psychic surgery,8 as least in the &ay it has been populari/ed, isnothing more than clever sleight-of-hand &here the surgeon palms some chicken gi//ards andthen pretends to pull diseased organs out of the abdominal cavity of some patient' The

    demonstrations 17ve seen on film are obvious uackery'

    Similarly, flu seasonvaccines are mainstream medicine7s version of psychic surgery: 1t7s allust 8medical sleight of hand8 based on nothing more than clever distractions and theobfuscation of scientific facts' lu season shots, you see,simply don't workon (( out of 00

    people 3and that7s being generous to the vaccine industry, as you7ll see belo&4'

    A year ago, 1 offered a ;0,000 re&ard to any person &ho could find scientific proof that"9 vaccines&ere safe and effective 3http:%%&&&'naturalne&s'com%02+"'''4' 9o oneeven made a claim to collect that re&ard because no such evidenceexists'

    ?onventional medicine, they say, is really 8Evidence-5ased !edicine8 3E5!4' That is,everything promoted by conventional medicine is supposed to be based on 8rigorousscientific scrutiny'8 1t7s all supposed to be statistically validated and proven beyond a shado&of a doubt that it &orks as advertised' And in the case of flu vaccines, they are advertised as

    providing some sort of absoluteprotectionagainst influen/a' 8on7t miss &ork this fluseason' @et a flu shot8 The idea, of course, is that getting aflushot offers 00B protectionfrom the flu' 1f you get a shot, they say, you &on7t miss &ork from sickness'

    This implication is &ildly inaccurate' 1n fact, it7s ust flat-out false' As you7ll see belo&, it7sfalse advertising&rapped around unk science'

    Cou see, there was never an independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlledstudyproving either the safetyor effectiveness of the "9 s&ine flu vaccinesthat &ere

    heavily pushed last year 3and are in fact in this year7s flu shot cocktail4' 9o such study hasever been done' As a result, there is no rigorous scientific basis from &hich to sell suchvaccines in the first place'

    To try to e.cuse this, vaccinehucksters claim that it &ould be 8unethical8 to conduct a

    placebo-controlled study of such vaccines because they &ork so &ell that to deny theplacebogroup the actual vaccine &ould be harmful to them' Everybody benefits from the influen/avaccine, they insist, so the mere act of conducting a scientifically-controlled test is unethical'

    o you smell some uackeryat &ork yetD This is precisely the kind of pseudoscientificgobbledygook you might hear from some mad #ussianscientist&ho claims to have 8magic&ater8 but you can7t test the magic &ater because the mere presence of measurementinstruments nullifies the magical properties of the &ater'

    Similarly, vaccine pushers often insist it7s unethical to test &hether their vaccines really &ork'Cou ust have to 8take it on faith8 that vaccines are universally good for everybody'

    Cep, 1 used the &ord 8faith'8 That is essentially &hat the so-called scientific communityisinvoking here &ith the vaccine issue: ust 5E$1EFE they &ork, everybody Gho needsscientific evidence&hen &e7ve got A1T" in vaccinesD

    orget about evidence-based medicine' orget about any rational cost-benefit analysis' orgetabout the risk-to-benefit ratio calculations that should be part of any rational decision makingabout vaccines' 9o, the vaccine industry 3and its apologist bloggers4 already knowthatvaccines are universally good for you, therefore no such rigorous scientific assessment iseven reuired

    The Scientific !ethod, in other &ords, doesn7t really apply to the things they already believein' aith can override reason in the 8scientific8 community, if you can believe that Ghat7sne.t, are they going to claim vaccines &ork because some sort of 8vaccine @od8 makes them&orkD

    "ere, take your vaccine shot' And don7t forget to pray to the Faccine @od because that7s ho&these things really &ork' Faccine voodoo, in other &ords' 3"ey, that &ould have been a greattitle for the vaccine song, come to think of it'''4

    Hnethical to find out if they &orkD

    1 got to &ondering about the &hole e.planation of ho& it &ould be 8unethical8 to test&hether the "9vaccines actually &ork' This deflection strikes me as particularly odd,

    because it comes &ith an implied follo&-up statement' "ere7s &hat they7re actually saying&hen they invoke this e.cuse:

    4 1t is 8unethical8 to conduct placebo-controlled studies on seasonal fluvaccines to find outif they actually &ork'

    24 5ut at the same time, it is entirely ethical to give these shots to hundreds of millions ofpeople, even &hile lacking any real evidence that they are safe or effective'

    1n other &ords, it7s unethical to conduct any real science, but entirely ethical to ust keepinecting people &ith a substance that might be entirely useless 3or even harmful4' That7s usta hint of the kind of &arped logic and failed ethics that typify our modern vaccine industry'

    Faccine advocates claim that "9 vaccines are so effective that 96T giving vaccines to aplacebo group &ould 8put their lives at risk'8 That alone is apparently enough reason to avoidconducting any real science on these vaccines'

    5ut 17m not buying this' 1 think it7s ust a cover story -- an e.cuse to avoid subecting suchvaccines to rigorous scientific inuiry because, deep do&n inside, they know vaccines wouldbe revealed as an elaborate medicalfraud'

    So 1 poked around to see if there &ere other randomi/ed studiesbeing conducted that mightactually put people7s lives at risk' 1t didn7t take long to find some' or e.ample, theNew

    England Journal of Medicinerecently published t&o studies regarding post heart-attack

    patient cooling&hich seeks to minimi/ebrain damageby physically lo&ering thetemperature of the brain of the heart attackpatient until they can reach the acute caretechnicians at a nearbyhospital'

    1n t&o studies, researchers &ho already kne& that 8cooling8 &ould save lives neverthelesssubected I>0 heart attack patient to a randomi/ed study protocol that assigned comatose 3butresuscitated4patientsto either 8cooling8 temperatures or normal temperatures'

    1n one study, &hile half the cooled patients recovered &ith normalbrainfunction, only auarter of those e.posed to normal temperatures did' 1n other &ords, patient cooling savedtheirbrains' And yet the importance of kno&ing &hether or not this procedure really &orked&as apparently enough to ustify withholding the treatmentfrom over a hundred other

    patients, most of &hom suffered permanent brain damageas a result'

    Cou see, &hen scientistsreally &ant to kno& the ans&ers to uestions like, 8oes this braincooling &orkD8 they have no ualms about subecting people to things like permanent braindamage in a randomi/ed clinical trial' The kno&ledge gained from such an e.periment isarguably &orth the loss of a fe& patient brains because, armed &ith scientific evidence, such

    procedures can be rolled out to help save the brains of potentially hundreds of thousands ofpatientsin subseuent years'

    5ut &hen it comes to testing vaccines like the recent "9 variety, the official e.planation isthat it7s too dangerous to &ithhold vaccines from a treatment group' They say it7s not reallyimportant to determine if vaccines are statistically validated, and it7s not &orth the 8risk8 of&ithholding vaccines from anyone in a randomi/ed clinical trial'

    9o&, sure, there have been some clinical trials done on many different vaccines over theyears, but most of those are industry funded, and there are almost never rigorous trialsconducted on each year7s seasonal flu vaccines before they are released for publicconsumption' As a result, each year's vaccine is a brand new experiment, carried outacross the guinea pig masses of patients &ho ust do &hatever they7re told &ithoutuestioning &hether it7s backed by real science'

    5ecause, of course, it isn7t' And 17m not the only one &ho recogni/es this inconvenient fact'

    The ?ochrane ?ollaboration

    The ?ochrane ?ollaboration, as described on its o&n &ebsite, is, 8'''an international,independent, not-for-profit organi/ation of over 2=,000 contributors from more than 00countries, dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of health

    carereadily available &orld&ide'8

    8Ge are &orld leaders in evidence-basedhealthcare,8 the site goes on to say, follo&ed by auote from The Lancet&hich states, 8The ?ochrane ?ollaboration is an enterprise that rivalsthe "uman @enome Jroect in its potential implications formodern medicine'8

    Gorking for the ?ochrane ?ollaboration, an epidemiologist named r' Tom effersondecided to take a close look at the scientific evidence behind influen/a vaccines 3seasonal fluvaccines4'

    The objectivesof the study &ere to: 81dentify, retrieve and assess all studies evaluating the

    effects of vaccines against influen/a in healthyadults'8

    The !otal Scopeof the study encompassed over out of I) trials K&ereL funded by industry 3four had no funding declaration4'8

    1n other &ords, close to half of the studies included in this analysis &ere funded by thevaccine industry itself, &hich as &e kno& consistently manipulates data, bribes researchers orother&ise engages in scientific fraudin order to get the results they &ant'

    The author even goes on to &arn ho& industry-funded studies al&ays get more press, saying,8'''industry funded studies &ere published in more prestigious ournals and cited more than

    vaccine matching,8 they mean that the strain of influen/a viruses in the vaccine are a poormatch for the strains circulating in the &ild' !his is usually the case in the real world

    because the vaccine only incorporates last year7s viral strains and cannot predict &hich strains&ill be circulating this year'

    1n other &ords, you would have to vaccinate "## people to reduce the number of peopleshowing influenza symptomsby just one$or ninety-nine percent of the people vaccinated,the vaccine makes no difference at all

    1n a 8best case8 scenario &hen the viral strain in the influen/a vaccine ust happens to matchthe strain circulating in the &ild -- a situation that even the study authors call 8uncommon8 --the results &ere as follo&s: 8*B of unvaccinated people versus B of vaccinated peopledeveloped influen/a symptoms 3risk difference 3#4 IB, (>B confidence interval 3?14 2B to>B4'8

    1n other &ords, the matching vaccine 3&hich is uncommon in the real &orld4 reduced

    influen/a infectionsin % out of "## people' 6r, put another &ay, &( of those injected withthe vaccine received no benefit3and no different outcome4'

    urthermore, the study7s conclusions go on to state:

    M 8Faccination had''' no effect on hospital admissions or complication rates'8

    M 8Faccine use did not affect the number of people hospitali/ed or &orking days lost'8

    M 8The revie&sho&ed that reliable evidence on influen/a vaccines is thin but there isevidence of &idespread manipulation of conclusions'''8

    M 8There is no evidence that Kinfluen/a vaccinesL affect complications, such as pneumonia, ortransmission'8 3@ot thatD Faccines do not affect transmissionof thedisease, yet that7s the&hole reason vaccines are pushed so heavily during pandemics -- to block diseasetransmission'4

    M 81n average conditions3partially matching vaccine4 00 people need to be vaccinated toavoid one set of influen/a symptoms'8

    And finally, the study author7s summary concludes &ith this &hopper of a statement: 8)ur

    results may be an optimistic estimatebecause company-sponsored influen/a vaccines trialstend to produce results favorable to theirproductsand some of the evidence comes from trialscarried out in ideal viral circulation and matching conditions and because the harms evidence

    base is limited'8

    1n other &ords, taking into account the industry bias, the actual results may be that vaccinesprevent influen/a symptoms in only out of ,000 people'

    So let7s put all this in perspective in a rational, intelligent &ay' This far-reaching analysis ofinfluen/a vaccine trials sho&s that under common conditions, seasonal influenza vaccines

    urthermore, even this result is describe as being 8an optimistic estimate8 because nearly halfof the vaccine trials &ere funded by the vaccine industry &hich tends to 8produce resultsfavorable to their products'8

    urthermore, some of the studies &ere carried out in 8ideal8 viral matching scenarios thatrarely happen in the real &orld'

    And finally, some evidence of harm from vaccines &as simply thro&n out of this analysis,resulting in a 8harms evidence base8 that &as uite limited and likely doesn7t reveal the full

    picture'

    Are you getting all thisD Even &ith industry-funded studies likely distorting the results intheir favor, if you take a good hard look at thescientific evidencesurrounding theeffectiveness of vaccines, you uickly come to reali/e that influenza vaccines don't work on

    && out of "## people' 3And the real ans&er may be even &orse'4

    9o& that7s a far cry from the false advertisingof the vaccine industry, &hich implies that ifyou get a shot you7re 8protected8 from influen/a' They claim you &on7t miss &ork, you7ll stay&ell, and so on' Through these messages, they are cleverly implying that vaccines &ork on00B of the people'

    5ut based on the available scientific evidence, these are blatantly false statements' And the&ild e.aggeration of the supposedbenefitsfrom vaccines crosses the threshold of8misleading advertising8 and enters the realm of 8criminalmarketingfraud'8 Ghere is theT?or A on speaking out against this uackeryD

    Faccine marketing is, essentially, scientific fraud' To claim that vaccines protect everyone&hen, in reality, they may reduce symptoms in only one out of 00 people is intellectuallydishonest and do&nright fraudulent'

    1t is, simply put, ust pure 5'S' uackery'

    9o&, imagine if an herbalproduct &ere advertised on television as offering some healthbenefit, but it turned out that the product only &orked on out of 00 people &ho took it'That herbal product &ould be &idely branded as 8uackery8 and the company selling it

    &ould be accused of false advertising' The company o&ners might even be charged &ithcriminal fraud'

    5ut vaccines get a free pass on this issue' Ghile an herbal product might be heavilyinvestigated or even confiscated by the A, vaccines that only &ork on B of the peoplereceive the full backing of theA, ??, G"6, T? and local hospitals and clinics to boot'The fact that the vaccine is pure uackery apparently doesn7t matter to any of theseorgani/ations: 1t7s full speed ahead, regardless of &hat the science actually says'

    8Faccine Nombie8 3http:%%&&&'naturalne&s'com%vaccine+'''4

    I forgot how to think for myself

    6r &hat if the vaccine pushers had all convinced themselvesof a falsehoodD Ghat if theytruly believed that vaccines &ere really, really good for everyone but that belief &as based onwishful thinkingrather than rigorous scientific revie&D

    5ecause that, my friends, is e.actly &hat has happened' Ge have an entire segment of thescientific community that has been suckered into vaccine propaganda' They7ve convincedthemselves that seasonal flu shots really &ork and that virtually everyone should be inected&ith such shots' And they believe this based on irrational faith, not on scientific thinking orrigorous statistical evidence'

    They are, in other &ords, pursuing a vaccine religion3or cult4' The is especially curious,given that most vaccine pushers don7t believe in @od or any organi/ed religion -- e.cept fortheir o&n vaccine religion, &here real scientific evidence isn7t reuired' All you gotta do isbelieve in vaccinesand you can oin their religion, too'

    And so all across the 7net, so-called 8science bloggers8 embarrass themselves by promotingnear-useless influen/a vaccines as 8evidence-based medicine,8 apparently una&are that theevidence sho&s such vaccines to be all but &orthless'

    They might as &ell say they support vaccines 8ust 7cu/'8

    And 8ust 7cu/8 is no reason to inect yourself &ith a chemical cocktail that even the industryadmits causes e.tremely dangerous neurological side effects in a small number of vaccinerecipients'

    Fitamin &ould actually make vaccines &ork better

    To top this all off, here7s the real kicker of this story: Cou can beat the minimal protectivebenefits of vaccines &ith a simple, lo&-cost vitamin supplement' Fitamin , you see, is thenutrient that activates your immune system to fight off infectious disease' Githout it,vaccines hardly &ork at all'

    1n fact, the very lo& rate of vaccine efficacy 3B4 is almost certainly due to the fact that mostpeople receiving the vaccines are vitamin deficient' 3Any&here from B - (>B ofAmericans are deficient in vitamin , depending on &hom you ask'4

    "ilariously, the &ay to make vaccines &ork better &ould be to hand out vitamin +

    supplementsto go along with the shots Even more hilariously, if people &ere takingvitamin supplements, they &ouldn7t need the vaccine shots in the first place

    nfluenza vaccines, in other words, have no important role whatsoever in preventing

    influenza infections' This goal can be accomplished more safely, reliably and at far lo&er

    cost by promoting vitamin supplements for the population at large'

    Ghat &e really need to see from the scientific &orld is a study comparing vitamin +supplements to influenza vaccines3and using realistic vitamin doses, not ust 200 or *001Hs per day4' 1 have absolutely no doubt that healthy-dose vitamin supplementation 3*0001Hs a day4 &ould prove to be significantly more effective than influen/a vaccines at

    preventing flu infections'

    5ut such a study &ill almost certainly never be done 3at least not anytime soon4 because it&ould e.pose the false propaganda of the vaccine industry &hile giving consumers a far

    better &ay of protecting themselves from influen/a that doesn7t involve paying money to

    vaccine manufacturers'

    1n medicine, as in &ar, truth is often the first casualty' And &hen the lies are repeated &ithenough freuency, they begin to be believed' The flu shot lie has been repeated &ith suchferocity and apparent authority that it has snookered in virtually the entire 8scientific8community'

    That even rational-minded scientists can be so easily hood&inked by the vaccine industry iscausing more and more people to uestion the credibility of not ust modern medicine, but theentire scientific community as &ell'

    5ecause if so-called 8rational8 scientists and thought leaders can be so easily suckered into anobvious falsehood, &hat other fictions might they be promoting as factD

    !edicine, you see, makes all the other sciences look bad' The obvious scientific fraud goingon in the name of 8science8 in the pharmaceutical industry makes a mockery of real scientificthought' The ease of &hich medical scientists have been hood&inked by the drug industrycalls into uestion the rationality of all sciences'

    And in doing so, it brings up an even bigger uestion: 1s science the best path to gainingkno&ledge in the first placeD This is obviously a philosophical uestion, not a scientific

    uestion, and it7s beyond the scope of this article, but it7s one 1 &ill likely visit here on9atural9e&s very soon in an upcoming article'

    There are many paths to truth, you see' Science -- good science -- is one of them, but it is notthe only one' Any scientist &ho believes that science has a monopoly on all kno&ledge ishimself a fool' ust read a little eynman and you7ll uickly come to discover that the very

    brightest minds in the history of science consistently recogni/ed there &ere other path&aysleading to truth'

    1 believe if eynman &ere alive today and sa& the vaccine propaganda taking place in thename of 8science,8 he &ould respond &ith something like, 8Surely you7re oking'8
