Children Who Receive The Flu Vaccine
Have Three Times Increased Risk Of Hospitalization For The Flu!
The
inactivated flu vaccine is not effective in preventing influenza-related
hospitalizations in children!
According to
research presented at the 105th International Conference of the
American Thoracic Society in San
Diego, a child that is vaccinated for the flu has 3 TIMES the chance of being hospitalized for flu than do their
non-vaccinated peers!
Even
though there had never been a study prior to this one, on children and the
efficacy of the flu vaccine, the Center For Disease Control’s (CDC) Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) recommended annual influenza vaccinations for all children aged
six months to 18 years.
So, in order to determine whether
the flu vaccine is effective in reducing the number of hospitalizations caused by the flu, researchers
from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, lead by Dr. Avni Joshi, M.D., conducted a cohort study of children over the past consecutive 8 years of flu seasons, the results of which caused a shock wave of denial and lies from the vaccine industry.
Based on results of this study, Dr. Joshi was forced to conclude
that children who had received the flu vaccine had THREE TIMES THE RISK OF HOSPITALIZATIONS, as compared to children who had not received the vaccine. In
asthmatic children, there was a significantly
higher risk of hospitalization in subjects who received the vaccine, as
compared to those who did not.
When trying to determine if other
factors contributed to this increased harm done by the vaccine, no other
measured factors—such as insurance plans, socio-economic condition or severity
of asthma—had any affect on the risk of hospitalization.
In
Plain English, The Vaccines Made The Children Get Severe Flu!
Isn’t that the exact opposite of
what they claim these poison filled syringes are supposed to be doing?
The CDC continues to recommend the
flu vaccine for children from 6 months old to 18 years old, knowing that it does
no good at all and in the end it causes much harm!
In their usual cover-up to protect the psudo-scientific garbage known as vaccination science, Dr. Avni Joshi, M.D. made the following statement:
"While these findings do raise questions about the efficacy of the
vaccine, they do not, in fact, implicate it (flu vaccines) as a cause of
hospitalizations."
Really? Then what would be the causative factor, since your team even tried to find some other reason to blame for the outcome of this study...Reminds me of that saying, if it quacks like a.....
Proof positive that money is truly the root of man's most evil of intentions, when those whom we entrust to protect us instead betray us with a kiss for 30 pieces of silver with full knowledge and intent, actively sacrifice our children's health and lives for greed and power!
2011-2012 Texas Vaccine Exemption Information
The State of Texas, by law, grants
and acknowledges the right of parents to exempt their children from vaccination
requirements for day care, school, and college for reasons of conscience
including a religious belief or for medical reasons.
In
2003, the Texas legislature passed changes to the statutes expanding the
reasons a parent can claim an exemption, however the Health Department has suspiciously increased the bureaucratic red tape necessary for claiming
the exemption.
There are specific procedures for requesting an official
state form and submitting it to the school or for completing a medical
exemption. These all take some time to do, so please don't wait until the last minute to
get your papers in order.

you must do to exercise your rights as an American citizen to not poison your
child go to:

Please post a link to the study. This is not credible at all unless you do so, and the study proves to be ruthlessly peer reviewed.
I will provide what I have Anonymous....You may also submit proof that the flu vaccine is effective.
Thank you for your concern Anonymous, maybe you would do well for a proper name along with a picture of yourself in your avatar.
I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving....

Flu Shot Not Effective in Preventing Flu-Related Hospitalizations in Asthmatic Children
ATS 2009, SAN DIEGO— The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing
influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma. In fact, children who get
the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than their peers who do not get the vaccine, according
to new research that will be presented on Tuesday, May 19, at the 105th International Conference of the
American Thoracic Society in San Diego.
Flu vaccine (trivalent inactivated flu vaccine—TIV) has unknown effects on asthmatics.
“The concerns that vaccination maybe associated with asthma exacerbations have been disproved
with multiple studies in the past, but the vaccine’s effectiveness has not been well-established,” said Avni
Joshi, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. “This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness
of the TIV in children overall, as well as the children with asthma, to prevent influenza-related
hospitalization.”
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend annual influenza vaccination for all children aged six months to 18 years.

The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (3rd revision) also recommends annual flu
vaccination of asthmatic children older than six months.
In order to determine whether the vaccine was effective in reducing the number of
hospitalizations that all children, and especially the ones with asthma, faced over eight consecutive flu
seasons, the researchers conducted a cohort study of 263 children who were evaluated at the Mayo Clinic
in Minnesota from six months to 18 years of age, each of whom had had laboratory-confirmed influenza
between 1996 to 2006. The investigators determined who had and had not received the flu vaccine, their
asthma status and who did and did not require hospitalization. Records were reviewed for each subject
with influenza-related illness for flu vaccination preceding the illness and hospitalization during that
illness.
They found that children who had received the flu vaccine had three times the risk of
hospitalization, as compared to children who had not received the vaccine. In asthmatic children, there
was a significantly higher risk of hospitalization in subjects who received the TIV, as compared to those
who did not (p= 0.006). But no other measured factors—such as insurance plans or severity of asthma—
appeared to affect risk of hospitalization.
“While these findings do raise questions about the efficacy of the vaccine, they do not in fact
implicate it as a cause of hospitalizations,” said Dr. Joshi. “More studies are needed to assess not only the
immunogenicity, but also the efficacy of different influenza vaccines in asthmatic subjects.”

INTRODUCTION: Influenza is known to be associated with asthma exacerbation but the
effectiveness of the trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) in asthmatics is unknown.
METHODS: We conducted a cohort study of all pediatric subjects( 6 months to 18 years age)
who were evaluated at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA who had laboratory confirmed influenza
during each flu season from 1999-2006 to evaluate the efficacy of TIV. A case control analysis
was performed with the cases and the controls being the subjects with asthma who did and did not
required hospitalization with the influenza illness respectively.
RESULTS:
There were 236 subjects with laboratory confirmed influenza from 1996-2006.
In assessing the effectiveness of the TIV for preventing hospitalization with influenza in all
subjects, there was an overall trend towards higher rates of hospitalization in subjects who got the
TIV as compared to the ones who did not get the TIV( OR:2.97, CI: 1.3,6.7).Using Cochran-Mantel-
Haenszel (CMH) test for Asthma status stratification, there was a significant association between
hospitalization in asthmatic subjects and TIV (P=0.006).

In the asthmatic subset:
There was no association between ER visit and receiving the TIV ,severity of asthma and the risk
of hospitalization or the hospital length of stay and receiving the TIV.
In assessing access to medical care, there was no association between hospitalizations and
health care insurance plans (Odds ratio:0.3, P= 0.13)
CONCLUSION:
1) TIV did not provide any protection against hospitalization in pediatric subjects' esp. children with
asthma. On the contrary, we found a 3- fold increased risk of hospitalization in subjects who did
get the TIV vaccine.This may be a reflection not only of the vaccine effectiveness but also the
population of children who are more likely to get the vaccine.
2) More studies are needed to assess not only the immunogenicity but also efficacy of different
influenza vaccines in asthmatic subjects.
