For decades, public health officials have assured Americans that flu vaccines save lives, particularly among the elderly. Yet buried research reveals a shocking truth: mass vaccination campaigns may have increased mortality rates instead of reducing them. A 2005 National Institutes of Health (NIH) study, later covered up by federal agencies, found no correlation between rising flu shot uptake and declining death rates—despite billions spent on promotion.
In 2006, CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson exposed the NIH’s damning findings. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), analyzed 33 years of data (1968–2001) and found that as flu vaccination rates among seniors jumped from 15% to 65%, death rates climbed instead of dropping.
Attkisson interviewed Dr. Thomas Reichert, a co-author of the study, who admitted: “We realized we had incendiary material… We’ve looked at other countries now, and the same is true.”
The NIH blocked lead researcher Lone Simonsen from speaking to CBS—a red flag suggesting institutional suppression. The study’s conclusion was unambiguous: flu shots showed no measurable benefit in reducing mortality in any age group.
For years, observational studies claimed flu vaccines reduced winter deaths by 50%—a statistic now debunked as mathematically impossible. The NIH study revealed:
Despite this, the CDC doubled down, expanding recommendations to children in 2006—a move critics argue was designed to boost Pharma profits, not public health.
The COVID-19 scandal exposed how corruption and censorship dominate public health. The flu vaccine fraud is no different:
The promotion of flu vaccines among the elderly raises critical questions about the ethics of public health campaigns. Why have health authorities continued to push a practice that has been proven ineffective?
The answer lies in the interplay of institutional bias and financial interests. Public health experts long assumed flu vaccines were effective, ignoring contradictory evidence—assuming, in essence, that their hypotheses were correct simply because they wanted them to be. This wishful thinking has had deadly consequences.
The government’s response to the NIH findings was particularly troubling. Instead of acknowledging the failure of their policies, officials shifted the focus to vaccinating children and others who might come into contact with the elderly—an admission of defeat cloaked in scientific jargon.
The flu vaccine industry, meanwhile, has doubled down on its flawed approach, creating “high-dose” vaccines with significantly higher antigen content and additional adjuvants. While these changes aim to compensate for the vaccines’ ineffectiveness, they also increase the risk of severe side effects.
History repeats itself—from thalidomide to opioids to COVID-19, the same players prioritize profits over lives. The flu vaccine deception mirrors Big Tobacco’s 50-year cover-up of smoking risks: corporations and governments colluding to sell a deadly product under the guise of “protection.”
As Attkisson noted in 2023: “You probably haven’t heard much about these incendiary findings.” Why? Because admitting failure would collapse a $6 billion flu vaccine industry. How many more buried studies will it take before we stop trusting “experts” who refuse to follow the science?
