Swine Flu Vaccine: To Receive or Not to Receive

Posted in Immune System, Public Health, Vaccinated, Vaccination on 09/23/2009 01:04 pm by admin

Dr Kokayi interviews the co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center, Barbara Loe Fisher. Dr Kokayi and Ms Fisher establish why there is no real crisis at this time and why the safey of the swine flu vaccine should be questioned (preservatives include thimerosal, formaldehyde, aluminum). While government and the pharmaceuticals are pushing for vaccination science and the epidemiology of the behavior of the swine flu suggest that for this time of year it is one of the mildest flu seasons relative to deaths and hospitalizations. Dr Kokayi also reviews supplements that might be very beneficial in preventing flu and warding off serious complications of the flu.
