There are more than 200 flu or flu-like viruses (symptomatically indistinguishable from the flu) in circulation at any given time. This is why the Cochrane Collaboration found the flu vaccine virtually worthless.
The main reason the flu is more prevalent in winter is that our bodies lack sunlight to produce the vitamin D needed for natural immunity (optimizing vitamin D has shown in studies to be 4-10 times more protective than flu vaccines). Closed windows in the winter months also means the virus can spread quicker. Supplement with vitamins D and C plus garlic and zinc to prevent colds and the flu but if symptoms arise add oregano oil and black elderberry syrup.
As many as 85% of people who were vaccinated against the flu in 2017, and then exposed to the virus, still got infected. The flu vaccine was virtually completely ineffective in over 65s – the most vulnerable segment of the population. It was the elderly that accounted for most of the flu-related deaths which were actually due to secondary bacterial infections (ie. pneumonia) and complications (ie. over-medicated). Yet the most effective, fastest, cheapest and non-toxic means of treating severe flu and pneumonia is banned in Australian hospitals.
The medical industry and hospitals would rather people die than admit that they are wrong. Besides, there is no money in it for the pharma-medico industry to allow this safe and effective treatment.
