Death due to influenza is over-reported. The Centers for Disease Control distributes a figure of 36,000 deaths a year from the flu. But data from the American Lung Association reveals flu-related deaths as low as a few hundred in a year in the U.S. (See chart below). The overstated deaths are believed to serve as promotion for vaccination campaigns.
The Cochrane Group, a global network of independent investigators, analyzes the validity of scientific evidence. In 2018 the Cochrane Group published an analysis of eight clinical trials involving over 5000 elderly participants in an effort to determine if vaccination prevents the flu. The analysis revealed 6% of unvaccinated seniors (they were given a placebo shot) were reported to have the flu compared to 2.4% of vaccinated individuals (58% relative reduced risk).
The problem is, 94% of senior adults in this study did not get the flu. So, the success of massive vaccination programs to inoculate millions to spare a few people from getting the flu is limited from the get-go. Thirty (30) people need to be vaccinated to prevent one person from experiencing flu symptoms.
So, at best, flu vaccines can only be 3.3% effective in preventing the flu. The CDC will “advertise” that studies like this one indicate flu shots are 58% effective (6.0% to 2.4% reduction in flu cases). So, in hard numbers, the public is led to falsely believe 58 out of 100 people will be protected from getting the flu if vaccinated. That idea is deceitful. It is actually 6 in 100 get the flu and 2.4 in 100 get the flu if vaccinated; 94 in 100 receive no benefit from vaccination because they remain healthy and uninfected, presumably because their immune system wards off any respiratory tract infection.
Remote chance flu vaccine saves lives
The chance that flu vaccination reduces risk for death is even more remote. In this study of 5000 senior adults, death occurred in 1 in 177 who received an inactive (placebo) vaccine and 1 in 184 who received the flu shot. So, 5.6 in 10,000 seniors would get the flu and be hospitalized and die if unvaccinated and 5.4 in 10,000 seniors would get the flu and die if vaccinated.
An analysis of 75 published studies by the Cochrane Group concluded there is uncertainty over the safety and effectiveness of flu vaccination in the elderly.
In 2016 the Cochrane Group published a study of 12,742 healthcare workers who care for older institutionalized adults (over age 60). The Cochrane evaluators concluded that vaccination of healthcare workers had little effect upon the number of elderly residents who developed laboratory-confirmed influenza.
Pre-vaccination immunity is predicator of vaccine effectiveness
A study published in 2015 shows that pre-vaccination immunity was the best predictor that vaccination would prevent the flu; 66.3% of adults over age 50 who were vaccinated did not develop adequate immunity.
What is the take-home lesson? Maintenance of the immune system is paramount.
According to conventional assessments of levels of immunity in populations at large, there are not sufficient antibodies to COVID-19 coronavirus to produce herd immunity. The world populations then must wait for a licensed vaccine. But antibodies are not the end-all measure of immunity.
“The death rate is more a result of whether or not your population is immune prepared more than the particular strain of the virus.” — Denis Rancourt, PhD, Ontario Civil Liberties Association
Most human populations are already immune
Antibodies are not being found to be a reliable measure of immunity. A number of studies now show that 20-50% of people with no known exposure to COVID-19 already exhibit immunity against this virus. This suggests vaccination would be almost meaningless to as much as half of the people.
Only a minority of people display antibodies against COVID-19. But (zinc dependent) T-memory cells, produced in the thymus gland, pre-exist and are ready to prevent COVID-19 infection in 20-50% of subjects.
Exposure à infection à disease NOT!
This means “exposure does not necessarily lead to infection, and infection does not necessarily lead to disease, and disease does not necessarily product detectable antibodies,” says a report entitled “COVID-19: Do Many People Have Pre-existing Immunity?, in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
Therefore, the percentage of a population needed to produce herd immunity is far lower when a significant portion are unable to transmit the virus, the BMJ report reveals.
An immunologist says: “If you lift lockdown you should see an immediate and commensurate increase in cases (and deaths), but that hasn’t happened. That is just a fact!”
In Sweden, a study reveals 60% of family members of infected patients produced antibodies while 90% had T-cell activity.
T-cells finally getting publicity
The BMJ report bemoans that T-cells have received “scant attention” in news media. T-cells also facilitate long-lasting immunity.
Researchers concede that through vaccination, stimulation of antibodies and T-cells are hoped for to induce protective immunity.
Apparently, many people are already immune. The idea of mandated vaccination appears to be massive over-treatment given these realities.
Public health authorities and politicians are pre-committed to vaccination, have already pre-purchased billions of dollars of these vaccines, and are prematurely and overly committed to their use regardless of these facts. Stockpiling of unproven vaccines has already begun because politicians have pre-paid for them.
Rushed-To-Market Vaccines May Not Save Lives
Disease investigator Peter Doshi, speaking out in another volume of the British Medical Journal, says none of the trials of COVID-19 coronavirus vaccines are designed to prove whether these needle jabs reduce the likelihood of illness, hospitalization or death. None of the trials underway are fashioned to determine whether vaccines interrupt transmission of the virus.
Doshi says a study may just show a vaccine reduces a symptom such a chronic cough and gain licensure, without reducing transmission, hospitalization or death.
In fact, these COVID-19 discoveries suggest the entire vaccine industry is propped by scientific ignorance of T-cell immunity.
The knowledge that T-cell immunity is dependent upon zinc, a trace mineral, suggests the public can protect themselves against all viruses and other infectious disease threats with an inexpensive, non-problematic, preventive remedy that is at hand.
Zinc along with vitamin D puts the brakes on (normalizes) the immune response to thwart an over-active immune (autoimmune) response.
Appropriately-dosed zinc lozenges, taken 5 times a day, preferably with a zinc ionophore like quercetin to facilitate entry into infected cells, are appropriate when sore throats, fevers, chronic cough and shortness of breath occur.
An authoritative report entitled “T-Cells Are The Superstars In Fighting COVID-19,” posted at Children’s Health Defense quotes Carsten Geisler, a prominent researcher at the University of Copenhagen, to say: “When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signaling device or ‘antenna’ known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it searches for vitamin D,” and if there is an inadequate vitamin D level, “they won’t even begin to mobilize.”
In other words, adequate vitamin D is critically important for the activation of T-cellsfrom their inactive naïve state.
Another lesson: the red wine molecule resveratrol binds to an activates the vitamin D receptor, a doorway for vitamin D to enter cells.
Very little if any of the information provided herein is getting to the masses. Public health authorities are solely committed to vaccination. It would be best to access Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense and the National Vaccine Information Centerfor accurate information about infectious disease and vaccines.
