Vitamin D is just as effective...yet they can't make billions of dollars from that so

research also shows that getting flu shots yearly can actually INCREASE the risk

If you read the article (the last one about effectiveness) there are a few things to note:

1) it's not written by a doctor

2) it comes from an anti-vaccine organization, one that was started to increase awareness that vaccines cause autism (it's proven they do not)

3) if you click on the links to the studies cited to support the arguments presented you will see that the conclusions of the cited works are inconclusive and state more research is required as there were biases that need to be accounted for


Research will show anything. You need to meet the scientific standards for it to be admissible in an argument. That was a mistake of the author (likely finding random studies that do not meet the scientific method of proof) which is being passed off as fact, when it is not.
