So fascinating! Thank you so very much for sharing
Good information, thank you
Thank you for this important and life-saving video, Dr. Greger!
😂🤡
I am curious if there are any studies on the impact of vaccines to our immune system versus un-vaxxed tolerance building.
Vaccines make your immune system better, literally. Being too clean, too dirty and not eating a well rounded diet rich in whole foods will reduce your immune system.
It’s a moot point when you consider the people that need protection the most are the ones most likely to die from infection and would be unable to acquire natural immunity.
Besides that, the flu mutates regularly so I’m not sure how long natural immunity would even benefit someone in the first place.
The vaccine gives you natural immunity to various mutations we can find and add anyway without the risk of dying to the virus.
The vaccine literally builds your immune system.
What boosts immunity is a proper diet and lifestyle, sunlight, exercise, clean water and stress management along with good and proper sleep., not via a vaccine full of adjuvants, and other artificial toxic crap.@SamuelNoaGreen
There are a few comparisons of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children. Vaccinated children lose massively on many conditions, especially allergies.
The end of this video is the saddest piece of truth ever dropped on me
Did I miss the part about shingles vaccine?
Since going vegan in 2010 my wife and I have never had the flu or a cold. I worked in an office of heavy carnivores and they were always getting sick. I would have thought Dr. Greger would have mentioned the benefits of going plant based or how it can effect this data.
Same here. I'm 67 and never had a shot. Everyone else at work can have an annual free flu shot and nearly all get the flu which tends to last weeks....I sit in the vehicles with these snifflers and never get sick.
There are no guarantees. Some people have weak immune systems, no matter how healthy their diet is.
@@CharlieFader Cite the evidence for this statement.
@@philgrant8927 what evidence would you need to counteract the two anecdotes mentioned above? If these anecdotes are used in order to claim that people following healthy plant-based diets never get sick, that’s a preposterous claim and they are the ones that have to try and prove it.
@@CharlieFader I just posted this:I am a 76-year-old white male in what I think is perfect health with a white blood cell count of 2.5 which my hematologist assures me is due to my vegan diet. No inflammation. See Dr. Greger's videos about this. I eat dried mushrooms every day and all the other good stuff: broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, beans, Tofu, beet powder, tomato powder and a dozen or two different spices. I exercise vigorously half an hour every day.
Do I have the same risk of getting the flu, or dying of it or of cardiovascular events as a normal, average 76-year-old? I doubt it. So I will forgo the flu vaccine. I just told my hematologist I can't remember the last time I was sick. But I did received the last pneumococcal vaccine… For better or worse. No side effects from that.
It seems Dr. Greger didn't address this.
Greger himself said it's recommended from the age of 6 months! Then he says there is little serious cases in not very old healthy adults. How does he explain this ? Should kids get it ?
He says it's recommended from age of 6 months, not that HE recommends it. The reason for young people to get vaccinated is mostly to prevent their grandparents from getting the flu.
Dr. Greger clearly believes that getting the flu shot is a good idea, but not very important for kids ( unlike say measles).
Hi, @farfiman! In the video, Dr. Greger is quoting the CDC recommendation that everyone aged 6 months or older get flu vaccines. He explains that the reason for this is to prevent younger people from giving the flu to more vulnerable older people. That said, young children do sometimes die from the flu. I hope that helps!

Ah yes, injecting infants with risky medical technologies to protect the elderly. Such a logical thing for a society to do.
@@NutritionFactsOrg Are the benefits on transmission correctly evaluated?
I had a neighbour who had a bad reaction from a flu shot maybe a few decades ago, I don't know exactly when he took it, it was before I moved next door, but it paralyzed his legs for half a year. He got over the initial shock and was and was and is currently able to walk again but he has sometimes needed a cane and to lie down a lot some days and take painkillers (Tylenol 3s is what I think he normally takes) because he has neurodegeneration that no doctors have any hope to prevent and at least his one leg is slowly getting worse.
If all this is true, why are vaccine manufacturers protected from liability? Patients take all the risk while manufacturers take zero. Aaand welcome to why "vaccine hesitancy" will always exist.
They are protected because there will always be rare individuals who cannot tolerate the medications that benefit the rest of us. If you are producing a medication that will benefit literally millions of folks, but can be bankrupted if ONE bad reaction lands you in a liability suit (in spite of stating right up front that there is always a miniscule risk that somebody may react badly), you are not going to do any more medical research. At all. So that liability shield? It protects ALL of us by making medical research and progress possible.
@@Westernwilson They wouldn't get bankrupt if the bad case numbers are low.
Bcz vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe"
Words from vaccine experts behind closed doors. Yet when they speak publicly they state the opposite " vaccines are robust, safe and effective"
I have a nephew that regressed and is now autistic after having his MMR, and the family dr admits that fact.
@@Westernwilson HaHaHa, bankrupted by one bad reaction, LOL. 2022 Phizer profits were 31 Billion. You must own stock....
@@ummahmedca I know a lot of such testimonies.
Never had a an issue with any vaccine in my life didn’t even feel down after or any sort of sick.. have to get coV and flue every year in healthcare fields and a full tdapp and tetanus booster all at once .. just wanted to throw this out there I’m sure plenty of people exist too that have no issues , and if it helps protect other vulnerable people than I’ll just keep getting them as required
Same, with one exception. I had a terrible headache after my first covid shot... but that might've been anxiety and stress at the time - people are falsely/accidentally attributing things to vaccines, it's an easy mistake, and it's a bit like wind turbine syndrome... I've had a lot of covid boosters since with no issues afterwards.

Who funded those studies? Drug companies......
The government in most cases. The government make more money from a healthy population, so it has the incentive to make sure a good vaccine is produced. The less you let capitalists influence the government the better the products produced by big pharma will be.
Did they? Did you read the studies and look at the funding sources?
Even if they did, there’s always some funding bias, but what’s important is study design. Did you find any specific flaws?
@I trust government studies as far as I can spit.
I’m proud of Dr. Greger and his team for producing this video. It’s so important to get this information out. Vaccine hesitancy is NOT unreasonable. So giving people real, science based evidence of its benefits is really important.
To be fair, vaccine hesitancy is only reasonable because there are so many chaos agents out there spreading misinformation on the internet. It is a tragedy that folks are being manipulated into being vaccine hesitant. We are fortunate to live in an age where vaccines have been with us so long we have forgotten what life was like without them....38% of children did not reach their 5th birthday pre-vaccines.
And ironically attempting to dispel vaccine myths makes people more hesitant to get them.
@@Typhoonbladefist because the dispelling is a lie
He underestimates Guillain-Barré syndrome. "About a fifth are unable to walk unaided after six months, and many experience chronic pain, fatigue and difficulty with work, education, hobbies and social activities."

I love this channel! And equally, I love vaccines. They've saved my life on more than one occasion.
How do you know? You don't have two versions of yourself, one vaccinated and one not. So how can you be sure what saved your life?
@@johnnyblue4799 Clearly I can't know with absolute certainty. However, I know that I have in my 60 years had a few episodes of bed flu, for example. I recall that after one such episode the doctor treating me told me he believed that my having had a flu vaccination earlier that year had mitigated the severity of the disease and that without it the outcome of my infection could have been death.

Just wondering what is the link with eating whole food plant based ….
Hi, @marie-linedeslauriers4339! It is not directly related, but Dr. Greger has a background in infectious diseases, and he sometimes addresses that topic in addition to whole food, plant-based nutrition. In fact, he wrote a book in 2006 about preventing and preparing for pandemics. More on that here: ruclips.net/video/t-JtOQHV-hI/видео.html I hope that helps!

I’m so glad I got the flu shot. I was hesitant because I couldn’t remember the last time I had the flu it’s been years. Everybody I work with has had the flu in the past month so of course I got sick as well but not nearly as bad or for as long as my co workers.

More like a 2% chance every year, I don't think they're looking at life time risk there

So if I’m under 65 and relatively healthy I don’t need it? What’s the government’s accuracy of picking the correct flu strain to vaccinate against?
Look it up. Just like anything , they track flu viruses as they move through countries.
The institutions are very good at the picking the strain (they are funded by the government but they aren't strictly the government, at least not in my country) You can get the vaccine to protect others as well because the chance that you'll carry the virus is much smaller and you'll still reduce your own risks with the flu.
Everyone should get it, especially at your age.

Read “turtles all the way down…”
Arentt plant foods better than 💉 for reducing the risk of getting the flu??
You do both
The vaccine is complementary, but I agree that if you have to choose, a good diet is better.
WFPB eating helps us avoid many of the risk factors of flu, and dozens of other diseases--many of which are risk factors for all the rest. Eat well, be well!
@ You need an animal based vaccine to aid your plant based life style?
I love Dr.Greger, but I'm not down with taking the vaccine.
Specially the ones from two years ago😉
I rather stay healthy on a WFPB, work out, have a positive mind set and not live in fear.
Do not equate sensible vaccine use as "living in fear". It is simply logical and prudent to be immunized...especially if the risks of long Covid stack every time you get it.
You can do both though.
If you give no reason for your opinion, we must assume you are motivated by unreasonable things. I like greger because of the science based approach. That approach suggests that taking the vaccines is the only reasonable thing to do. If you care about others it is also the ethically correct thing to do.

Read the DESCRIPTION, AIDS, Cancer, Infertility...
Well, there has been a lot of misinformation trying to suppress ivermectin with studies having poor methodologies (improper dosage, taking it without food, etc. ) and a lot of propaganda in favor of vaccines which makes me skeptical of flu vaccines which have the same funding model. Is it possible that limited vaccine administration is good but many vaccines are not advisable?
Big Pharma was behind all that misinformation and suppression of the other important medications like Ivermectin!
Need to tell us absolute rather than relative benefit.
He says the absolut risk in the video, you need to watch it before you comment.
0:47 how is the vaccine supposed to reduce transmission?🤔
With lower disease shedding while infectious, due to your immune system being trained by the vaccine.
@@DoubtingThomas333 Dr John Mcdougall doesnt agree at all because the virus change everytime.
@@DoubtingThomas333 how would the total virus transmission differ between those two examples?
1. is infected but vaccinated and therefore doesn't feel any significant symptoms. He goes to work and to a party or family meeting afterwards.
2. is infected, feels sick, goes to the doc and spends the rest of the day at home in bed.
@@wiezumteufel9024 In your specific example assuming the patient doesn't infect the doctor or his family that could be a theoretically better scenario but it is like saying you shouldn't put helmets on kids who cycle because in one case a kid might get overconfident and crash where he otherwise wouldn't.
These are just isolated examples. The data show that vaccinations cut infection rates and deaths the same way helmets reduce the harms of crashing a bike. You can concoct whatever scenarios you like but you have to look at the population data rather than hypotheticals. The CDC helpfully link a lot of studies done on the effectiveness of specifc vaccines on their website. Here is the conclusion from a study on the 2019-2020 season:
"CDC estimates that flu vaccination during the 2019-2020 flu season prevented 7.1 million illnesses, 3.4 million medical visits, 100,000 hospitalizations, and 7,200 deaths associated with flu. This report underscores the benefits of the current vaccination program, but highlights areas where improvements in vaccine uptake and vaccine effectiveness could deliver even greater benefits to the public’s health."
@@wiezumteufel9024 I think in both cases you are infecteous in the days before you feel sick, the virus load being higher without vaccination. And also with the vaccine you will feel sick and stay in bed but the disease is not as harsh or life threatening.

Had my first autoimmune flair after a flu vaccine. Battling 10 years now. "Anti vax". Whatever you say.
Good for you
@nicolcacola and you know for certain it was the vaccine that caused the flair or just assuming?
RFK just checked out.
It's the pro vax ones that are cringe. Imagine falling for the recent ones they tried to force on us all. You have to be a special kind of stupid.
I got 2 flu shots in my 30's and both times I got the worst and only 2 flus EVER! That's all it took for me to never get another flu shot. But hearing this now makes me reconsider. I just don't know though because those two flus I got horrendously ill. Never before those two times and not since have I been so sick. It took almost two weeks to fully recover and that was when I was young and healthy.
Never had any vaccine since my teen years. I'm 52 now and completely healthy. I saved hundreds from the covid vaccine, and I obviously won't get any other vaccine in my life.
Yea I'll stick to my 5 weeks of mild symptoms from catching it naturally

Stay strong Dr Gregor. These comments are turning my stomach. Stick to the science and history will decide
How is this information "Nutrition Facts"?
Good point 🤔
They branch out occasionally into other health/medicinal areas. I'm glad they do as this is a site that I trust a lot more than most others. Info from non-nutritional fields is welcome as far as I'm concerned!
Straight from their website: "Each new drug or surgical procedure is often heralded with great fanfare, letting you and your doctor know about the ways it is a game-changer or a life-saver. Corporate budgets drive their promotion and marketing campaigns, but what about advances in the field of nutrition? We don’t see ads on TV for broccoli for the same reason groundbreaking research on the power of foods and eating patterns to affect our health and longevity gets lost and buried in the medical literature. Put very simply: There is no profit-driven motive. Healthful eating and nutrition research may not make anyone money, but what if our lives would profit?"
So Dr Greger scorns drugs to prevent cancer but he espouses drugs to prevent infectious diseases. He is a hypocrite then, or perhaps his donor foundations are involved in the vaccine industry. Either way it’s irreconcilable with his doctrine of health via nutrition and lifestyle medicine
Ok. Doc. the covid vaccine is conspicuous by its absence in this video.
Theres no doubt that was by design due to all the people that would immediately get triggered by any pro-vax "propaganda" that doesn't gel with the actual propaganda they already choose to believe is true. Dr Greger is taking a boooold stance even talking about vaccines in a positive light and im sure he will lose a lot of subs for it
Because it's a different type of vaccine for a different kind of virus
I am huge advocate of your great work Dr Dr Greger but not on this particular topic.
How can anyone trust the Data from CDC after what we've been through in the past few yrs?
Its long overdue that Nutrition Facts release an updated video/press release on the "safe and effectiveness" of the covid shots taking into account current excess mortality rates, increase in disability rates etc vs the risk/reward.

It's a bit odd question. Not very easy to compare. But in general, masks are not very effective for most disease related uses. Even using masks during surgeries doesn't have great evidence.
Ultimately probably a vaccine. Because the vaccine gives you the ability to handle the disease, while a mask just makes it slightly harder to get it under some circumstance, but you will ultimately get it if it's something you keep exposing yourself to over and over.
NEITHER
@@nightrunner14
Wrong
IMO Masks are protecting mainly others. That’s why you should wear one if you’re sick. It protects you just a bit. Also depends what kind of mask we are talking about. Generally during flu season mask is better than no mask if you are older or with compromised immunity.
Vaccines generally don’t prevent you from getting flu. They lower the risk and severity of disease.
Also the most important thing is to wash your hands properly and have quality sleep that’s how you minimize the risk of getting sick. Oh and avoiding crowds in enclosed spaces.
Fortunately flu isn’t that serious for most of the population.

So it seems for many of us having the flu vaccine is more about potentially protecting others in our society who are at risk from the flu.
It’s about caring for others
