Studies on vaccinated vs. unvaccinated adults and children have been rejected by the US. government for being ‘unethical’, but recently researchers in Hong Kong have conducted this important study.
The test was conducted on vaccinated vs. unvaccinated subjects in regards to the influenza vaccine. This is probably the only real study in recent times in which a real placebo was actually used and compared to the vaccine.
The results are staggering, it showed that people who had received the flu vaccine suffered from other respiratory infections at a rate 5.5 times more than the placebo group.
If you take the seasonal flu vaccine in the hope if will protect you from illness, it may actually be doing the opposite, putting you at risk of getting sick by over 5 times which the chances would be without having the vaccine at all. The figure of being 5.5 times more likely to acquire a respiratory illness come from a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
The study is different from previous ones it was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial, where the researchers used a genuinely inactive placebo (saline solution), as a stand-in for the flu vaccine. Most other vaccine trials have used active placebos, which are substances that actually include ingredients used in the vaccines, making the studies meaningless. A fact which is often not included in the final write-ups.
The study followed the participants for an average of 272 days. The active influenza vaccine used was Sanofi Pasteur’s Vaxigrip. The trial was conducted on children aged 6-15 years. 69 were given Vaxgrip and 46 were given the saline placebo.
With regard to effectiveness against influenza, the authors wrote:
There was no statistically significant difference in the risk of confirmed seasonal influenza infection between recipients of TIV [trivalent influenza inactivated vaccine] or placebo
Meaning that flu vaccines actually gave no benefit.
The authors the tried to cover it up by adding:
TIV recipients had significantly lower risk of seasonal influenza infection based on serologic evidence
The authors here are trying to suggest that even though the vaccine recipients suffered as much genuine influenza as those who received the placebo, they still ultimately benefited due to “serologic evidence”. This “serologic evidence” consists of antibodies produced as a result of the vaccine, which is actually the standard method of determining a vaccine’s effectiveness.
The story worsens when we see the results showing the recipients having 5.5 times more respiratory illness. Here is a breakdown of the results:
Even though the authors try to claim otherwise, we can see from the results that there were a total of 116 influenza cases in the vaccinated group and 88 in the placebo group, meaning that those who were vaccinated were 5.5 times more likely to contract a confirmed respiratory illness.
There are also other respiratory illnesses that people were more likely to contract after being vaccinated against influenza. The chart shows coxsackievirus and echovirus both of which are known to cause meningitis, paralysis, hepatitis, and heart disorders. It’s not that common, but the same thing is also true of poliovirus. It also causes a usually minor respiratory illness, but in some rare cases it can result in much the same harm that coxsackievirus and echovirus can.
Implications
The implications of this study are rather serious. The authors suggest:
Receipt of TIV could increase influenza immunity at the expense of reduced immunity to noninfluenza respiratory viruses, by some unknown biological mechanism. Alternatively, our results could be explained by temporary nonspecific immunity after influenza virus infection, through the cell-mediated response or, more likely, the innate immune response to infection.
Put simply, the act of injecting the body with antigens is probably damaging the cell-mediated immune response, that is the part of the immune system that protects without the need of resorting to development of antibodies.
To sum up, this study has demonstrated:
- Influenza vaccines provide no benefit.
- Influenza vaccines cause a hugely increased number of respiratory illnesses.
- Influenza vaccines—and very likely other vaccines—harm the innate cell-mediated immune response, which results in a significant increase in infectious disease incidents
We are constantly mis-lead as to the dangers of vaccines, the US’s FDA, CDC, and NIH, the UK’s NHS, MHRA, and DOH, Australia’s ANPHA, and Canada’s Health Canada, plus the international WHO and many other similar bodies want to keep us in the dark.
They use fear to keep the population scared of not vaccinating their children, when the sad truth is that usually these vaccines exist not to protect us, but to make money for the pharmaceutical firms that create them.
