Just when you thought the flu pandemonium was dying down, it’s rearing its ugly head again. But it’s not the flu itself that’s the problem… it’s the people who are trying to "protect" you from it.
Because despite the fact that we’ve experienced one of the mildest flu seasons in years, the vaccine hustlers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are recommending that every single man, woman, and child be vaccinated starting with next flu season.
They’re saying it’s because the current recommendations are too complicated. But the REAL reason is that this type of official policy would make it more likely that insurers would cover flu shots.
And let’s face it — pushing vaccines is what CDC bureaucrats do best. Well, that and denial… and they’ve outdone themselves recently on that one, too. They’re still warning of a deadly "third wave" of swine flu that could strike at any time.
Anyone here scared? Didn’t think so.
People aren’t being careless; they’re being realistic. And when it comes to the flu, the warnings simply don’t match reality.
Seasonal flu generally peaks in February and March. For the past few years, around 3.5 percent of all doctor visits in late February have been for flu-like symptoms. That’s small enough… but this year, that number was slashed nearly in half — to 1.8 percent.
How do they explain that? Guess what… they can’t! So they’ve made up some nonsense about how flu might peak in May this year instead.
It’s like a doomsday cult that keeps revising its prediction each time the world doesn’t end.
The CDC brains want you to think they’re playing it safe in the face of a serious disease… but really, they’re just playing us for saps, plain and simple.
Here’s what else is going to happen during the next flu season, when more people than ever will be urged to get shots even if there’s no real flu threat: Some of Big Pharma’s biggest drugs will be losing their patent protection.
They’re going to lose billions, unless they think of something fast.
What do you think they care about more… protecting you from the flu, or protecting their bottom line? Think about that the next time you roll up your sleeves.
