There are too many flu strains, they mutate every season and you sometimes get the flu anyway but with a milder course of disease if vaccinated.

The effectiveness of the flu vaccine is 60-70%, but the vaccine itself carries no risk. So you're playing the odds, and getting the vaccine will always give you better odds than not getting it, even though you still have about a 1 in 3 chance of it not protecting you.

The one time I decided to trust the machine and get a flu vaccine was when I was 16, I had flu symptoms shortly after, and it's the only time I've ever had the flu.

My great grandmother was 102 and got a flu vaccine. Developed pneumonia a week later, and was dead in 2. Had no previous indication of ill health.

It's a scam, like vaccination in general.

Flu is a meme vaccine. Unlike mandatory vaccinations it has a common side effect: you actually get a mild flu from it.

I don't know what you've been reading, but I can guess. You can't really bother to argue with the type of ignorance that makes a post like this. Except:
>no one has ever replicated the results he claimed
https://www.livescience.com/7472-kill-viruses-shake-death.html
Much higher frequencies, but likely similar underlying principle. Rife attributed his results to a form of mutually amplifying "coordinated resonance". I have suspected he was acting on enzyme systems or ion channels, but it seems this really isn't the case.

The main issue is no one has his microscope to retrace his steps. The information provided by people who supposedly have surviving frequency generators provide a lot of information, but not at all like having the machine in front of you. Inferences made by looking at old photographs and video of his lab are relatively helpful. There's little funding or access to proper materials for someone who happens to build such a machine.

Unless you happen to be an Israeli backed company that can jump through the FDAs hoops and grease the wheels. Then you can make a shitty rife machine that only kind of works, so you can drag out your patient's death and probably make more money for the treatment on top of conventional drugs which fare no better than placebo while causing horrendous side effects.

Refer to novocure on pubmed or whatever. Electromagnetic medicine is an old field and their machine (low intensity 200KHz field, contact applied) does produce results. Just not optimal. Hopefully this foot in the door will secure further funding towards real treatments, but I doubt they'd be allowed to be used. Getting a device or drug FDA approved is very expensive.

It definitely happened. It's just a matter of finding accurate information.

ITT: /sci/ doesn't know about complications and how the flu vaccine works.

Thousands of people die from flu related pneumonia every year and the flu vaccine is advised for old and very young people, because they are at a higher risk of developing such complications. Healthy adults can get the vaccine if they want and if they get the flu eventually it passes way milder than the normal infection. Also flu strains mutate and have predictable evolution so every year vaccines are manufactured based on epidemiological data.

That part of my post was about Novocure and what are now called "Tumor treating fields". Their device is FDA approved and clinical trials have shown a statistically significant increase in patient survival time, with no real side effects.

Hey kiddo, guess what? To get a device or treatment in active use it needs to go through a series of clinical trials and (unless the wheels have been strongly greased) demonstrate some clear indication of efficacy. Their little half baked Rife machine (operating at a similar frequency as the one Rife reported for the cancer virus, though with very different field characteristics. Rife said a deviation of +- ~5KHz was often tolerated) has gone through these trials, and was approved. As you can expect this created quite a lot of activity in the neurooncological field, many subsequent studies and reviews were published. They're now moving on to mechanistic research concerning the physical processes at work, largely wasting time and money rediscovering what was known in bioelectromagnetics in the 1980's.

Don't know much about that. One possible reason is that the polio vaccine came about shortly after polio's presentation became much worse, which correlated nicely the introduction of the diphtheria and pertussis vaccine. Therefore polio now had to be managed as well. This predates the insurance racket, which is what high prices most people can't pay are predicated on, therefore to not sabotage a developing market or suffer litigation, it was quickly introduced. And vaccines were the neat new thing at the time. Kind of like putting radium in water.

Even "practically" giving it away guaranteed sizeable profits, and long term relevance for many as yet undeveloped products. The culture was forming and vaccines needed to be seen as a basic and routine aspect of public health.

Elaborate. The FDA has a longstanding bias against energy medicine, as do most of its corporate owners. Greasing would be something apart from the ordinary sort. I do know there's Israeli affiliation, but anyway the evidence isn't that sketchy and contrary to what people want to believe, it makes perfect biophysical sense. It's reasonable well known in bioelectromagnetics that DNA is a fractal antenna, and even subtle changes in electron transport and coiling behavior can have a major impact on gene expression and behavior of other enzymes. In this case it disrupts mitotic spindle formation through a combination of the above.

Another thing worth noting is that human lymphocytes exposed to GSM phone radiation, for a period of 1 hour, develop double and single strand breaks and display a near complete inhibition of DNA repair enzyme activity for a period of 72 hours after. Really, get into bioelectromagnetics. You're going to have rethink a lot, and there's quite a bit of history over the last hundred years, but it's certainly not a fringe thing.

It's not hard to see why this might cause problems. Talking to people I really get the feeling that the way they think is "well it's in the context of a vaccine, so it can't be bad." Somehow they don't think the extensive data on systemic mercury and aluminum exposure, and the development of the immune system, just doesn't apply. They compartmentalize and the two realities are just kept in different boxes, and addressed separately. They would worry if they broke an old thermometer or a fluorescent light in their child's room, but have them injected with it near arbitrarily and without complaint.

Which shows the power of medicalizing.

if it hadnt been for public attention and had been left up to just the evidence, i dont think it would have been approved. as it stands there's certainly no harm in using the device alongside current best practices but the few actual medical trials i found while searching this morning showed marginal evidence at best and i doubt that there's any meaningful benefit.

Honestly, we can't really evaluate that. Using public pressure can equate just as well with pushing towards truth, as with moving away from it. That's just how longstanding vertical control structures work, the threat of de-legitimizing can overtake the threat of compromising existing interests.

ok, fair

on the antenna thing: im going to focus on the blank/goodman paper since that's where most of the claims about fractal antenna behavior stem from.

one of my biggest problems with their paper is that their evidence is circumstantial at best. their best piece of evidence is the talk about nCTCTn elements allowing DNA transcription of heat shock proteins and other similar observations. however, what those experiments show does not conclusively tie the phenomenon to DNA. they were performed in vivo, in HeLa cells. and for fuck's sake it's right there in the name: heat shock proteins. responding to changes in temperature (which we know is also an effect of RF exposure) is their reason for existing. also pretty much every other stress applied to cells upregulates HSPs. what that says to me is that heat shock factors are binding to their appropriate DNA response element after the cell is heated, not that DNA is receiving RF signals directly

i dont think their reasoning is good either. this sentence is a good example: "Since DNA can interact with EMF over a wide range of frequencies, and does not appear to be limited to an optimal frequency, it has the functional properties of a fractal antenna. " This might be a valid statement IF the first statement is true. nothing about the paper proves the first statement.

there's weird mixing of the types of RF exposure they're discussing. for instantce, they talk about the mechanisms for double strand breaks as supporting evidence for a fractal antenna behavior. ionizing radiation can cause DSBs, yes, but the mechanism there is well understood and it has nothing to do with DNA being an antenna, but the authors use that phenomenon to justify DNA being an antenna. it's bad reasoning.

also everything we know about large scale DNA structure from the last decade suggests that DNA would be an awful antenna. the authors suggest that the long backbone and symmetric nature of DNA would lend it to being a good antenna. What we know, though, is that there are chemical modifications to the backbone itself and lots of modifications on a structural level that would destroy any antenna function it might have. changes in histone packing would dramatically alter the electrical conductivity on local and regional levels. transcription factors binding to DNA to establish or maintain euchromatin would alter conductivity of the bases. any region of active transcription would alter conductivity too. the proposed mechanism for receptivity, an increased probability of strand separation at nCTCTn motifs, i really doubt would happen to any meaningful degree.

the authors are trying to describe DNA as a long conductive element when it's really closer to millions of cut-up pieces of wire jumbling around in a bag, and also there's a gallon of tar coating everything

>it's right there in the name: heat shock proteins.
"Heat shock" is a historical artifact of their discovery and initial investigations. A wide variety of cellular stress upregulate HSP expression.

>we know is also an effect of RF exposure
The RF field is very old, and was once far more active. You're referring to the idea of nonuniform energy deposition causing selective microheating, or hot spots, which the cell is able to reliably detect by some (heretofore unknown) mechanism. From the 1960's to the present, there has never been experimental evidence of, or a satisfactory model indicating these hot spots or their transduction. There was great interest in this in the USSR, because for a while it was suspected that systemic effects were redox reactions stemming from transduction in the skin and superficial blood vessels, eg releasing histamine / opioids / signaling the brain. We now know this isn't really the case.

Nonuniform absorption of RF is naturally a thing, but not with much relevance as far as triggering an actual thermal shock. Most of the electric field components are rapidly attenuated by tissues and fairly diverse cell structures, however, biological systems are more or less transparent to magnetic fields. The motion of charged groups in the intercellular space, a highly conductive fluid trapped between very good resistors (plasma membrane), reconstructs the electric fields component deeper in the body.

There are other specific aspects for ELF fields which rely on the sheer presence of NO (and will occur with its synthesis pharmacologically blocked), but that's the gist of it. This was gone over at many symposiums and in the literature practically to death. It's not thermal. HSPs are stress proteins.

ps. They go into this in the paper. How certain regions of genetic material are more susceptible to breakages with altered electron transport.

To my recollection these studies were also replicated with DNA in free solution, which rules out breaks from endogenous free radical generation.

>it's bad reasoning.
Considering everything known in the field, it really isn't. You should definitely take a closer look at that paper and related ones. There probably won't be anymore follow ups as Martin Blank died recently. Don't know what Goodman is up to.

>>10029270
The point isn't that it's a "really good antenna" that you would stick on something and expect to have a reliable signal, the point is just what the paper says. It is a fractal antenna and is response to an extremely wide range of frequencies. What you're positing as problems are really just technical aspects. The overall behavior remains.

>It is a fractal antenna and is response to an extremely wide range of frequencies.
which they didn't demonstrate at all. and no, if it's a bad antenna, it won't react to an extremely wide range of frequencies, because it won't react at all.

>You're referring to the idea of nonuniform energy deposition causing selective microheating, or hot spots, which the cell is able to reliably detect by some (heretofore unknown) mechanism.
no, i'm not. heat shock systems are incredibly sensitive. any heating at all, even systemic heating, could plausibly trigger HSPs. you dont need to invoke hotspots to explain it.

that's beside the point anyway. the observation that HSPs are upregulated following RF exposure is not evidence that DNA can receive RF signals. it's a sign that SOMETHING in the cell is reacting to DNA, but tying that to DNA antenna behavior is unsupported.

>A wide variety of cellular stress upregulate HSP expression.
did you not read the very next sentence i wrote? i acknowledged that.

>How certain regions of genetic material are more susceptible to breakages with altered electron transport.
which i didn't address because there's no evidence showing that phenomena exists or is tied to RF exposure

>you dont need to invoke hotspots to explain it.
The thermal aspect has been looked at on many scales.
-Rectal temperature
-Bulk cell cluster heating
-Bulk individual cell heating
-Microstructure heating and its manner and rate of dispersion
Considering many different behaviors accompany a change in temperature that's often < 0.1C, if reliably detectable at all, you do need to invoke hotspots.

>the observation that HSPs are upregulated following RF exposure is not evidence that DNA can receive RF signals.
Not alone, no. I advise spending some time reading the paper and related literature. My own disposition was that HSP upregulation was occurring due to increased superoxide and NO generation (and other effects of their upstream causes), along with leakage of the electron transport chain. I found their paper made a lot of things click together and was convincing early evidence.

>i acknowledged that.
I know.

Oh while I'm at it, there's emerging speculation that these manmade fields can reactivate latent viruses retained in the microglia, causing massive cytokine production and chronic neuro-inflammation. A well known feature of autism.

Further, we know that these manmade fields lead to chronically elevated intracellular calcium. Where else have we seen this? A genetic polymorphism that leads to overactive calcium channels, Timothy syndrome, which almost always presents with autism. It's pretty much direct evidence of a causal role of altered calcium flux in autism and neurological developmental disorders.

How well an individual fares relates to their own calcium signalling and performance of intracellular Ca2+ trafficking and pumps. Ryanodine receptor behavior as well.
