The World Health Organization is still quite worried about bird flu because it is still seen as having the potential to infect the entire human species.
One of the biggest fears among medical scientists is that bird flu, the H5N1 virus, could mutate and become contagious and spread from one human to another. This will create a global pandemic and since we are not prepared to deal with it, it is a matter of concern for us all.
As of now, there is no known cure for the bird flu virus and that means that everyone is under constant threat. More recently, there have been some discussions on the use of annual flu vaccines.
Scientists are worried that this constant exposure to the flu vaccine is weakening the natural human immune system to ward off infections and thereby putting everyone at greater risk of getting flu.
A strong immune system is the best defense against all forms of infections and leading doctors are clear on the fact that someone who has not got a weaker immune system because of annual vaccination stands a better chance of avoiding the flu naturally. Some doctors even say that the practice of annual vaccination creates a kind of dependence on the medication.
This means that for every year that you get vaccinated your immune system gets progressively weaker because it never gets to do its job. Another group of doctors have already started recommending to their patients that they work towards a stronger immune system and avoid getting flu shots.
The flu virus is constantly changing and that is why you need a new vaccine every year. The flu shot is only effective against one particular strain of virus and this is why it needs to be re-administered every year.
According to one study conducted in the Netherlands among elderly people, it was concluded that the flu vaccine only lowered the risk of getting flu by around 1%.
This may make you wonder why the government is so heavily suggesting shots for 1% extra protection. The reason for this is that the same concept may not apply to bird flu.
In case we manage to isolate the strain and create a vaccine against it then the protection may be much above the current 1%. Studies are still going on in this area and there are no conclusions reached yet.
Flu shots also contain toxic substances like mercury that is related to Alzheimer's and may also lead to mercury poisoning. There is a law indemnifying vaccine manufacturers even if their vaccine ends up killing the patient.
You can search for this on the net but the summary is that even if a major chunk of people drop dead due to the vaccine the manufacturers cannot be held responsible in any way.
This is why it is important that before you decide to get a flu shot you completely understand what risks you are taking. Consider all your allergies and other medications or medical conditions that could cause the vaccine to misbehave.
