CBS did a report 20 years ago that may shock you. The percentage of seniors getting flu shots sharply increased from 15% to 65%. You'd think flu deaths among the elderly would decrease, but they continued to climb.
The NIH did a study, but then suppressed it. CBS got their hands on it, and the study revealed flu shots have not reduced deaths among the elderly. The lead author was not available for comment but a co-author, Dr. Reichert, said they were astonished by the results. They also found the same poor results in other countries like Australia, France, Canada, and the UK.
The CDC is now looking at new strategies, but still recommends flu shots. They may shift toward vaccinating more children to protect the elderly.
