I’ve found this amazing Biology/Biochemistry YouTube channel (AK Lectures)! I’ve got a huge exam tomorrow and this guy has been saving my butt. Wish I knew about him at the beginning of the year.

The same story year after year and still we “recommend” this piece of shit pharmaceutical and big pharma rakes in the profits.  It has never been shown to decrease the number of flu cases, for any population.  And the statistics quoted in this article are questionable. CDC likes to lump all possible flu deaths into one statistic without actual verification of flu.  And some doses still contain mercury - you need to ask for mercury free, but if you don’t know….

Flu vaccine ineffective for people 65 and older last winter

The vaccine was about 42 percent effective in preventing illness severe enough to send a patient to the doctor’s office. But it was essentially ineffective protecting some age groups. That includes people 65 and older—the group that’s hardest hit by flu, suffering the most deaths and hospitalizations.

But it had no clear effect in adults 18 to 49, or among the oldest adults.

You do realise that the article you’re posting doesn’t mention mercury in vaccines even once?

You do realise that the flu vaccine is ALWAYS only designed to protect against the yearly strains of influenza that are PREDICTED to be dominant, and therefore cannot be expected to be 100% effective? That’s a risk you take when you get the damn thing. No one is hiding the fact that the normal flu vaccine isn’t incredibly effective on the over 65s. That’s why we have the high dose vaccine.

You do realise that even if the flu vaccine doesn’t PREVENT the flu in over-65s, it is still capable of reducing severity of flu symptoms?

You do realise that the very article you’re quoting also states that the vaccine did a good job protecting children (also a very high risk group) last year?

And finally, if you doubt the statistics in the article, then why aren’t you actually debunking them and why aren’t you sourcing your claims? You know, like scientists are supposed to do?

“It has never been shown to decrease the number of flu cases, for any population.” SOURCE?

“And the statistics quoted in this article are questionable.” PROOF?

“ CDC likes to lump all possible flu deaths into one statistic without actual verification of flu.” SOURCE?

Bruh, just admit that you only posted this article so you could use your platform to push an anti-vaxx agenda and leave it at that. This is literally the least scientifically sound post I’ve ever seen you make, and that’s fucking saying something. I understand if you don’t get around to replying to this though, I assume you probably have to pick your kid up from soccer practise or something. 

That specific number of antigen molecules required to initiate the chain reaction doesn’t change based on weight. Just like it doesn’t matter if you have a ton of dynamite or just one stick; all it requires is lighting one fuse to set the whole thing off.

The original article was written by a quack for a Huffington Post blog and had no scientific sources backing up his ableist claims.  He also believes that a proper diet can “cure” autism and literally promotes child abuse as a means to get a child to eat.
