About Flu Vaccine Shortage…
12/04

The flu vaccine shortage is a tempest in a tea pot every year. This year there is a larger so-called shortage, because one pharmaceutical company had to scrap their entire batch due to contamination. I say, so-called shortage, because the pharmaceutical companies estimate how many people will get a flu shot based on past records, in addition to factoring in a percentage of new recruits—i.e. age factor, population growth, etc. Therefore, the number of flu shots manufactured lower than the calculated magic number is considered a shortage.

There is a flu vaccine shortage every year, since I began keeping track, October 1962. People don’t make notes of the minor goings-on in their lives. Thus, when the pharmaceutical companies run the same rhetoric every year—“A shortage of flu vaccine,” the media blares....people panic and run to the doctor before the flu vaccine is all gone. As a metaphysical healer, you know I am saddened by this manipulation of people's health. As Wayne Dyer stated in his book, You Will See It When You Believe It, “We are responsible for our lives, including what the chemistry does or does not do in our bodies."

This is a ploy by pharmaceutical companies and doctors use to create fear so everyone will flock to the doctor BEFORE 'they run out.' Thus, pharmaceutical companies and doctors make a killing on a drug that is a big money maker and does NOTHING for the patient. Interestingly, pharmaceutical companies and doctors chart their profit margin based on the ‘flu and cold season, ‘allergy season,’ etc. And the media is a major contributor to being able to closely manage this business strategy.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other standard medical sources, flu vaccine side-effects can include allergic reactions, Guillain-Barre syndrome severe paralytic illness and death, plus the person contracts the flu from the flu shot. Mild reactions to flu vaccine shots are soreness in the area where the shot was administered, low grade temperature, nausea and vomiting. [Calling it a mild reaction vs. stating the person contracted the flu from taking the flu shot is a distortion of evidence, self-serving and convoluted thinking.]

Generally, if someone has severe reactions they are examined by the same doctor whose nurse administered the flu shot and the doctor wouldn't attribute the symptoms the patient is presenting to something as ensconced in American medical practice as the flu shot. They diagnosis it as the flu and declare the person would have gotten a worse case, if they hadn’t had the flu shot. Where is the proof that had they not had the flu shot the flu would have been worse? There is no way to prove this and therein lies the dilemma pharmaceutical companies rely on. Plus, the use of fear as a motivator to compel people to get the flu shot contributes to a person contracting the flu.

Want to avoid contracting the flu? Mind, Body, Spirit balance and healthy nutrition is far superior to any pharmaceuticals. Between 1951 and 1971, I did not have the flu. Why did I have the flu in October 1971? It was a very difficult period, as I knew I was destined to divorce my alcoholic husband. My emotions were raw, my physical and emotional strength was being drained by the goings-on of an alcoholic husband and caring for a 1 and 3 year old and facing what I knew would be a difficult divorce negotiation.

From a metaphysical perspective the cause of flu is: “Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. *Belief in statistics.” I was responding to mass negativity and struggling to keep my emotions clear. I was struggling with staying centered and focused in spite of all the unknowns. Not to mention struggling with the possible negative outcome of the divorce negotiation.

However, through it all, I concentrated on healing my Mind, Body, Spirit, and Voila! I haven't had the flu since. AND I haven't had a flu shot since 1962 and realized it was a scam. Conduct a review of your life prior to the time you contracted the flu—What was going on? What was your mental state? Were your nutritional habits healthy? Were you over weight? Were other health issues prominent?

You too can decide flu shots are a scam. However, it is important to create Mind, Body, Spirit balance so that you do not lose your balance when you hear the media rhetoric and war cries to get a flu shot . As Louise Hay stated in her book, You Can Heal Your Life, “…The word ‘incurable,’ which is so frightening to so many people, really only means that the particular condition cannot be cured by ‘outer’ methods and that we must GO WITHIN to effect the healing. The condition came from nothing and will go back to nothing.”

*As you will note the pharmaceutical companies and doctors use the belief in statistics to their advantage. How did we become indoctrinated to believe in statistics? Quite simple, the capitalist brokers focused on indoctrinating the masses to believe only in that which can be scientifically proven—science uses statistics. Yet, there is a plethora of research by metaphysical scientists that proves Mind, Body, Spirit healing works more effectively than modern medicine. However, capitalists have been successful in discrediting it as communist propaganda, because metaphysical science was developed by Traditional Chinese medicine, which has been practiced more than 10,000 years.
