Hi All
It’s the time of the year when most GP’s surgeries seem to be promoting the “Flu Jab” Over the years I have become quite cynical and I was wondering if the “Flu Jabs” are in anyway beneficial or is it the pharmaceutical companies who are the main benefactors. It would appear that last year’s flu campaign cost £115 million, a nice little earner for the drug companies. There seems to be a growing number of medics who feel that the flu vaccine does no good. One of them being Dr Thomas Jefferson of the Cochrane Vaccines Field who seems to think, “ that the kind of benefits being ascribed to flu vaccine are simply not justified” I wonder, could he be right?
Regards
John
