Feds admit (accidentally) that flu vaccine is worthless




You'd think with all the BILLIONS our bumbling government spends on expensive satellite technology, they'd do a better job getting out of their own way.

But just a few days ago, Uncle Sam did something I promise you he never meant to do. In fact, it could go down as the single greatest slip of the tongue in medical history.

Our government actually admitted that the flu vaccine is worthless. They just didn't mean to.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually called a press conference to announce that during the 2012-2013 season, the flu vaccine prevented 6.6 million cases of flu. I mean, who could argue with success like that?

Well, I don't know. Let me give it a try.

First, if you're wondering how the CDC could possibly know how many cases of flu we would have developed, that's a great question. If the feds were so good at predicting the future, how did we end up $17 trillion in debt?

But this time let's just take them at their word. According to the CDC about 45% of the population got a vaccine last year. That translates to roughly 135 million shots. But the shot only "prevented" 6.6 million cases of the flu.

That means your chance of EVER getting the flu was less than 5% to begin with. In other words, the vaccine was totally worthless for 95% of the poor sons of guns who lined up to have their arms pricked.

Better safe than sorry, right? I mean, who wants to be one of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people who drop dead of the flu each year? There are hundreds of thousands of them, right?

Not exactly. A 30-year analysis of the flu found that annual deaths averaged about 6,300. For half of the years, the total was fewer than 5,000. That wouldn't fill the end zone seats in the stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play.

And now consider this -- if the flu vaccine truly was preventing 6.6 million cases of flu a year that means your chances of dying from it are no better than one tenth of one percent! Yet we're spending billions a year on flu campaigns as if we have some national emergency on our hands!

Numbers never lie, friend, and the numbers on the flu vaccine are a joke. Even Uncle Sam is starting to admit it -- he just didn't mean to.

Yours in good health,
