Stop the Lies- 30,000 people are NOT dying from the flu in the US each year!#android#iPad#retweet
And this is according to the numbers provided directly from the CDC:

The lies need to stop. We talk about evidence-based practice, so let’s look at what the evidence says.
As of today’s date there are 322,014,008 people living in the USA. http://www.census.gov/popclock/
The CDC says that
During September 28, 2014–May 23, 2015, World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System collaborating laboratories in the United States tested 691,952 specimens for influenza viruses; 125,462 (18.1%) were positive.
So there were only 125,462 cases of confirmed influenza for last year’s flu season in the United States. Out of 322,014,008 people, this accounts for 0.0004% of the population that actually had confirmed influenza and not just flu-like illness.
Furthermore, the CDC states that out of these 125,462 cases,
17,911 total hospitalizations resulting from influenza during October 1, 2014–April 30, 2015
So, if only 17,911 people are hospitalized, how on earth can 30,000 people be dead of the US of influenza?
And among the adults that were hospitalized, most had other conditions that also contributed to their hospitalization as…
Dr. Jeff Bradstreet: In Memoriam#android#iPad#retweet
Like you, we read of Dr. Jeff Bradstreet’s death and were struck silent. A stalwart leader in treating autism, really helping families, his loss is huge in our community. Dan Olmsted interviewed Dr. Bradstreet 10 years ago for his The Age of Autism series with UPI. Here is the interview; the study he was calling for has finally been done and the results are awaited, a testament to his foresight and persistence. Our condolences to the Bradstreet family and the autism community who relied on his compassion and care.
WASHINGTON, June 28 (UPI) — Where are the unvaccinated homeschooled children with autism? Nowhere to be found, says a doctor who treats autistic children and is knowledgeable about the homeschooled world.
“It’s largely nonexistent,” Dr. Jeff Bradstreet told UPI’s Age of Autism. “It’s an extremely rare event.
Bradstreet treats autistic children at his medical practice in Palm Bay, Fla. He has a son whose autism he attributes to a vaccine reaction at 15 months. His daughter has been homeschooled, he describes himself as a “Christian family physician,” and he knows many of the leaders in the homeschool movement.
“There was this whole subculture of folks who went into homeschooling so they would never have to vaccinate their kids,” he said. “There’s this whole cadre who were never vaccinated for religious reasons.”
In that subset, he said, “unless they were massively exposed to mercury through lots of amalgams (mercury dental fillings in the mother) and/or big-time fish eating, I’ve not had a single case.”…
Student Who Refused to Lie About Vaccines and was Kicked out of Nursing School Fights Back with Lawsuit#android#iPad#retweet

In 2013, nursing student Nichole Bruff was dismissed from Baker College in Michigan for allegedly asking questions about the way her instructors were teaching nursing students how to coerce parents into receiving vaccines for their children, even if the children or parents did not want them. Nichole wondered why a patient’s right to choose or refuse a medical procedure was not being followed in administering vaccines. To her, this seemed to violate medical ethical issues she had been taught in nursing school, so she wanted clarification on why vaccines were different when it came to patient rights and ethics.
Is this not part of the American educational process, the right of students to question their instructors?
Shortly before she was due to graduate, she was dismissed from the school without warning, and with no recourse to appeal the dismissal. She soon found out that her dismissal prevented her from being accepted at other nursing schools. Nichole tells Health Impact News:
My dream of being a nurse practitioner of midwifery is gone…
