Jimmy Dore: 20 years ago, CBS dropped a bombshell: a suppressed NIH study proved flu shots did not reduce elderly deaths
They got their hands on a suppressed NIH study that was so "incendiary" the lead author was silenced.
The facts will make your head spin:
➡️ Flu shots for seniors went from 15% to 65%.
➡️ Logic says flu deaths should have plummeted.
➡️ Reality? Flu deaths in the elderly went up.
The researchers were "astonished." They checked the data again and again. They expected to prove the shot worked. Instead, they proved it didn't.
And it wasn't just the U.S. The same disastrous results were found in other countries.
So what was the CDC's response? "Seniors should still get their flu shots."
Their new plan? Vaccinate children and healthy people who don't need it—a roundabout human experiment—to maybe protect the elderly.
Why not just give the protection to the person who needs it? Because their own study shows that doesn't work either.
They knew 20 years ago. And they're still doing it.
