I thought that Dr Naomi Wolfe, author The Beauty Myth and Outrages was kidding, but it turned out she wasn’t. She got a flu shot from CVS recently and I found out from her thread on twitter (reposted below) an unusual story (to say the least) about what is in flu shots these days.
Dr. Christiane Northrup, best-selling author and medical doctor/expert on women’s health agrees that what is in flu shots are not good for our health & explains more about why she does not recommend them.
They contain viral proteins from animals. Vaccine companies typically use chicken embryos to culture flu strains. (They also use dog kidney cells.) Fertilized chicken eggs are susceptible to a wide variety of viruses and contain biologically active ingredients that may be harmful to humans, including tiny proteins that have been associated with neurological disorders and oncogenes that can cause cancer.
Risk of adverse events. In addition, a growing body of evidence shows not only are flu shots ineffective, there are also possible dangers of the flu vaccine. In my opinion, the risk of adverse events from the flu vaccine far outweigh the risk associated with contracting the flu virus for most people
Increases your risk of COVID-19 infection. A Department of Defense study showed that, while the flu vaccine studied demonstrated varied benefit in flu prevention, it raised the risk of coronavirus infection by 36 percent. This is most likely due to vaccine virus interference.
Dr. Naomi Wolf:
“To be clear: I’m not ‘anti-vax’. That said, I had a flu shot for the 1st time, at CVS. Had to ask for 4 layers of documentation before learning that dog kidney cells, latex, Singapore H1N1 are in shot, and that CDC has only vague assurances re dog cells studies. https://cdc.gov/flu/prevent/cell-based.htm
“I was asked to pay and sign before seeing the prescription label. Label only said ‘flu vaccine’, not ingredients. Only when I asked for ingredients was I given a box with the actual label which you are supposed to get by law. It listed dog cells, latex, H1N1 virus from Singapore in shot.
When I tried to cross out and initial the line that gave my medical info to unnamed ‘schools’ and ‘agencies’, which you can do with any legal contract, pharmacist said I couldn’t modify the form or I would not get the flu shot.
Also I learned: 1st document I was asked to sign did away w/my medical privacy under HIPAA law: lets CVS send my personal identifying data to ‘agencies’ and ‘schools’. Also something called CAIR gets to release it, which the pharmacist could not identify. CVS like Rite Aid sells data.
Oh no oh no I just found out that the Darby Canine Kidney Cells in my flu shot came from a female adult cocker spaniel who died in 1958 oh no oh no....dystopian and as a dog lover, creeping me out....
My flu shot has Darby Canine Kidney Cells. Ugh. Literally took four levels of queries of documents to get to this insert which should have been produced by CVS at once, by Federal law. Also says it hasn’t been evaluated for ‘carcinogenic or mutagenic potential’. Thanks CDC, FDA.
A long dead cocker spaniel … Which came first the spaniel or the egg? Novartis' flu vaccine plant OKed in 2014
YES! Insert said "in Europe", meaning probably, "just Italy". CDC phrasing indicated that it's new, to use dog cells rather than eggs. Italy did not do great with public health by the way this past year.
Also contains Thimerasol - mercury - which is toxic to the central nervous system and organs.
So gross. I can’t get the image of an adult female cocker spaniel dead in 1958 (about when my mom had a beloved cocker spaniel) whose cells are now in my body, out of my head. Wish I could walk that flu shot back and I’m also feeling quite ill. What was wrong with egg albumen?
I went through w/flu shot for personal/family reasons. I'm not a medical doctor but rather a PHD. in literature.
Update, I feel really pretty ill now. 24% of young people who get this flu shot have negative sequelae (a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury. "the long-term sequelae of infection") per the insert. Double digits for older folks.
These are the new cell based vaccines instead of egg cultured. Same type flu vaccines were used in Italy last November for the first time.
It could explain the huge difference in death rates among different countries /US states. They really need to research more but as we can guess they never will. Too much money involved.
Many studies have clearly demonstrated that egg-based vaccine can be safely administered in patients allergic to eggs, without any special precautions.
In September 2019 what was made available for the first time in Italy was a “cell-based” flu shot, called VIQCC or QIVc, that is produced from cultured animal cells rather than eggs.
VIQCC is a quadrivalent flu vaccine that contains 2 type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and 2 type B viruses. It is approved for people ages 9 and older.
Various doctors have said that if you have received a 2019 flu shot, if you get infected with COVID-19, your symptoms will be worse.
Flu Shots Are Doggone Strange
I think the VIQCC vaccine were used in most European countries for the 2019/2020 season.
