Flu Vaccine is as good as placebo

As pointed out via LewRockwell site: "Flu vaccines 'not worth the trouble'"
But according to Tom Jefferson, a vaccines expert, vaccines given to children under 2 have the same effect as if they were given a dummy drug. He is calling for an urgent re-evaluation of vaccination campaigns.

Writing in the British Medical Journal, he says that because influenza viruses mutate and vary from year to year, it is difficult for scientists to study the precise effects of vaccines and that most existing studies are of poor quality.
