Doctors and pharmacies get kickbacks to peddle the shot. The CDC tells us that every year an estimated 5 percent to 20 percent of Americans come down with the flu, leading to 200,000 hospitalizations. That percentage range is a huge discrepancy.

Drug-less cancer treatments

Modern medical care has become a giant industry. Instead of being focused on you, it’s focused on an inexhaustible appetite for ever-increasing profits.
