Why are CDC researchers deliberately giving people the flu?

After years and years of selling us flu-shot hype, the geniuses at the CDC have finally admitted it: They really don’t know that much about the flu shot — or the flu itself, for that matter.

Time for a little extreme study hall…

So the CDC is rounding up 100 people between 18 and 50 and deliberately giving them the flu. (For their time and trouble, the volunteers are being paid $3,000.)

And what does the CDC hope to learn from this “rare” type of
“research?”

Well, for starters, how to build a better flu vaccine. CDC researchers have admitted they just aren’t sure what antibody levels to aim for in the shots.

And, not a big surprise here…they don’t even know if the antibody levels in their precious flu vaccine might “protect” you from the flu.

According to Anthony Fauci of the NIH allergy and infectious diseases division, “We made some assumptions that we knew everything about flu.”

No kidding, Dr. Fauci!

For years I’ve been calling the CDC the ad agency for the flu vaccine. They basically “market” the flu shot, rambling off numbers without any real data to back them up.

And after stabbing us for decades, they’re finally trying to figure out how to make a vaccine?

So far the volunteers’ reaction to the deliberate flu are what I would expect…sniffles, mild fevers, congestion. And, surprise, surprise, they are all recovering just fine. One even called the whole thing “…a really cool experience.”

Now that the CDC has a whole class of paid guinea pigs, it would be nice if they stopped trying to experiment on the rest of us!
