Flu Shot and Alzheimer's
Since flu shot
season is approaching I thought it appropriate to remind everyone that
according to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist
and 13th most quoted biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer
reviewed journals), if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots
their chance of getting Alzheimer's disease is ten times higher than if
they had one, two or no shots. (1)
Dr. Fudenberg
claims this is due to the mercury and aluminum in flu shots (and many
childhood and RhoGam shots); these toxins build up in the brain causing
cognitive dysfunction. Is that why Alzheimer's is expected to
quadruple? (2)
By the way, to
disprove the Alzheimer's/flu shots connection, some Toronto MDs went to
nursing homes and asked people with Alzheimer's if they remember getting
a flu shot. Most said they didn't remember getting one. Not surprising
since Alzheimer's victims may not remember the names of their spouse.
Anyway, based on this "research" they concluded the flu shots were safe
but the disclaimer at the bottom of the abstract negated its value:
"Because of the self-reported nature of the risk factor questionnaire we
cannot exclude the possibility of recall bias." (3) Can you believe that
the media reported this as "proof" the flu shot was safe? They didn't
mention the disclaimer. Maybe they all had too many flu shots?
