Listen very closely, and you can practically hear the backpedaling: The CDC now admits it's been badly wrong about flu deaths.
Those vaccine-pushing hucksters have made the wild claim year after year that flu kills 36,000 Americans annually -- and they've even attacked anyone who's dared to question their numbers.
But now, they've come clean. Not fully clean, mind you, but sort of cleanish. The agency now says flu kills as few as 3,500 Americans in some years, with an average of 23,000 per year overall.
In other words, that 36,000-fatality fantasy they've been selling was a wild and dramatic overestimate pulled from their own hindquarters. And the new lower numbers STILL don't come close to the truth -- because any time someone sniffles on their way to the grave, the CDC quickly labels it a "flu death."
And that's only when they bother tracking it at all -- last year, during the height of the swine flu frenzy, the CDC actually told state health authorities to stop counting while the agency just made up any number it pleased.
The truth is, flu is directly responsible for only a few hundred American deaths in most years. Throw in the occasional outbreak, and you get an average of around 1,348 annual deaths, according to a study in the British Medical Journal.
But numbers that low won't strike fear into anyone's heart... and you can't sell vaccines without a great big dose of fear.
And believe me, that's what this is all about -- because the CDC is in league with Big Pharma in a relentless push to sell as many vaccinations as they possibly can.
The new numbers won't change that. In fact, the U.S. government's Vaccine Welfare Program is proceeding full-speed ahead. Right now, the feds are preparing to shell out $2 billion on vaccines -- including federal funding to help Big Pharma make more of them, faster than ever.
So the numbers might be new, but the song remains the same.
(Note: the number 11 = death)
And while you certainly don't need a flu shot... you definitely want some zinc.
Zinc the link for pneumonia prevention
Vegans aren't just missing out on good health... there's now solid evidence that a meat-free lifestyle can leave seniors open to pneumonia and even death.
That's because while you won't find the answer to colds, the flu and pneumonia in mainstream meds or vaccines... you will find it in zinc-rich foods such as steak, liver and oysters -- and a new study confirms what I've been saying about this miraculous mineral for years.
Researchers have been keeping tabs on 600 elderly residents of 33 nursing homes in the Boston area who were given supplements with half the recommended amounts of essential vitamins and nutrients.
Those with normal levels of zinc in the blood were 50 percent less likely to develop pneumonia, and needed fewer antibiotics when they did get sick. They even had a lower death rate, according to the study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Big Pharma's vaccine peddlers only WISH they could make those claims about their injections!
Zinc has also been known to help keep colds at bay and limit the damage when you do get them -- although makers of zinc-based supplements who try to point that out often run afoul of the FDA.
They've got drug companies to protect, after all!
Just remember -- the seniors who got the boost simply had normal levels of zinc, and that's all you need as well. Since too much zinc can actually do more harm than good, visit a doc who can check your levels before you consider adding a supplement.
For most people, that's overkill -- because you can get all the zinc you need from a steady diet of natural meats.
And gents, since proper zinc will also help keep your pistol loaded and ready for action, there's even more of a reason to order oysters tonight.
