  1. Thanks to Donna Carrillo and Dr. Tenpenny for providing the links to the FluMist Package insert and
    the FDA Q&A on FluMist so you can see for yourself how truly dangerous this hyped up new "nasal
    vaccine" is.

    Here's the link to the FluMist package insert -- fda.govinflmed061703LB.pdf

    Are there certain people who should not receive FluMist?

    As with any medication, individuals should check with their health care provider before receiving
    any flu vaccines. According to the approved package insert, the following people should not get the
    intranasal influenza vaccine:

    *Adults 50 years of age or older, or children younger than 5 should not receive FluMist.

    *FluMist should not be given for any reason to people with immune suppression, including those with
    immune deficiency diseases, such as AIDS or cancer, and people who are being treated with drugs that
    cause immunosuppression.

    *The safety of FluMist in people with asthma or other reactive airway diseases has not been
    established, and therefore, is not recommended for use in patients with a history of reactive
    airway problems.

    *Additionally, FluMist should not be given to people with chronic underlying medical conditions that
    may predispose them to severe flu infections. For these people, the injected vaccine is indicated.

    *Individuals with egg allergies should not receive this or any other flu vaccine.

    *People who have health problems associated with heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or
    metabolic diseases such as diabetes, anemia and other blood disorders should not receive FluMist.

    *Because Reye syndrome in children has been associated with administration of aspirin during
    influenza virus infections, FluMist is not recommended in children and adolescents 5-17 years of age
    if they are receiving aspirin or aspirin-containing therapy.

    *Pregnant women (in their second or third trimesters during influenza season) should not
    receive FluMist.

    *Anyone with a history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) should not receive FluMist.

    *Physicians, nurses, family members, or anyone else coming in close contact with anyone with a
    weakened immune system should not receive FluMist.

    THIS MEANS ALL THE SHOPPERS AT WALMART, CORRECT????

    No. Shoppers at Walmart are not coming in close contact. By close contact, they mean household
    members or similar contacts, like when nurses and doctors take care of patients.

    The list is actually very reassuring. It shows that the makers of the FluMist did their homework and
    determined those people most likely to have increased risk from the vaccine. As we all know, no
    vaccine 100% safe. FluMist is no exception. It is certainly much, much safer than getting the real
    influenza, as shown by the studies and safe for the people who do not have a contraindication.

    I find Scudamore's obsession with FluMist fascinating. According to him, viruses don't cause
    disease, and one of his greatest complaints about immunization injections is that they "bypass the
    body's natural defenses."

    So here we have FluMist, which is an aerosol (droplet) administration of a less-virulent form of the
    same viruses which circulate naturally by -- drumroll -- aerosol droplets. If, as he often tells us,
    viruses don't cause disease then FluMist is at worst a waste of money. If FluMist is, as he tells
    us, dangerous (esp. because it causes a mild case of the disease which can be passed to others) then
    he's been wrong all these years about viruses.

    Choose.

    Personally, I think he's flipping out because the nasal aerosol administration takes away his
    ability to scare people about needles.

    Getting back to my original point: The people most in need of vaccinations to protect them against
    viral disease agents, are advised not to receive FluMist.

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha! I find that incredibly funny.

    Because the rest of the people don't need to be vaccinated for the flu at all, unless they are a
    pathetic excuse for a human being.

    Any NORMAL healthy person with a strong immune system should not get the flu at all ever. People get
    colds and the flu only when they are totally run down and are other wise chronically unhealthy.
    Also, healthy people need to be in a closed environment, like an ocean liner, before they are likely
    to be affected by viral disease agents.

    Just my opinion. But, I am *right* as usual!

    You will NEVER see any "proof" of this until there is an "Enron" in the drug business. The
    "proof" will be one of the most carefully guarded secrets inthe business. Until then, it is best
    to assume it is being run with the ethics of Enron. It is all about money. Big money begets the
    worst of ethics.

    For $100,000,000.00 you can buy the science you want. Scientists who sell out can make more money
    than those who don't. Just keep looking through until you find a few who will do your bidding. For
    $100,000,000.00 you can do a LOT of weeding out to get favorable results.

    pronto

    Yeah, but it does not involve a needle. A lot of people who would not get the shot will get this
    vaccine. Which means that they are much less likely to get influenza, which helps slow down the
    spread of the illness.

    So even the people who have countraindications to the vaccine benefit.

    You're confusing homeopathy and other alternative medicines with real medicine. Every treatment in
    real medicine must be proven to work before it can be licensed. And all of the treatments coming out
    today, are backed by science. For example, the makers of FluMist had to prove that their vaccine
    worked before they could sell it.

    Unlike, say, homeopathy, which has never been shown to work. I guess you can say that science does
    not follow homeopathy, though. Because science is not involved with homeopathy at all.

    Real medicine has one-and-only one method of treatment called drugs.

    Any other method of treatment that real Medicine uses is either surgery, a form of natural health,

    Physical Therapy, for example, is obviously based on the natural therapy of physical exercise. And,

    Dentistry is dentistry.

    Correct: medicine has tried to claim credit for Physical therapy even though it clearly is a form of
    alternative medicine. 🙂
