Even if you are protected the first year you got the vaccine, it has changed your immune system in such a way that your T-cells can’t respond using memory response and so you are actually more susceptible than a person who’s never been vaccinated.” - Dr. Suzanne Humphries ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

People who are naturally exposed to circulating influenza viruses — unvaccinated individuals — are likely to gain cross-protection against other strains of the disease.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Annual vaccination against common strains of influenza reduces protective immunity against more dangerous strains of the disease. (62)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Prior vaccination against seasonal influenza may increase the risk of contracting a severe case of pandemic influenza. (63)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Mice that we’re infected with a seasonal influenza virus survived exposure to a lethal influenza strain; vaccinated mice died. (65)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Pregnant women vaccinated against seasonal influenza and A-H1N1 (swine flu) had high rates of spontaneous abortions. (70)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
CDC policy to vaccinate pregnant women with thimerosal-containing influenza vaccines is not supported by science. (71)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The influenza vaccine is not very effective, causes adverse reactions, and can spread diseases to other people. (72)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Influenza vaccines are not effective in young children; safety data can’t be trusted. (73-76)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Hand washing & teaching children proper hygiene may be more effective than vaccines at reducing the spread of influenza & other respiratory viruses. (77)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Influenza related death rates in the elderly do not improve by increasing influenza vaccination rates in the elderly. (79)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
There is no evidence that vaccinating healthcare workers against influenza to protect their patients is effective, nor is it supported by science. (81-83)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Marketing strategies designed to increase influenza vaccinations lack moral integrity & scientific support. (85-87)
