Where it fails, and almost all other similar articles fail is: That other thing is NOT INFLUENZA but is VIRAL INFECTION. When you get what is clinically often called "the flu" you actually have a Viral Infection.<br /><br />So why is this so important? It is so important because only 16% of Viral Infection is Influenza. Thus the "flu shot" has a 84% probability of not being able, LOGICALLY, to help prevent Viral Infection. <br /><br />http://healthyprotocols.com/2_flu_shot_intro.htmSTATION GOSSIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14290129071922737076noreply@blogger.com
