UPDATE 11/25/2014

Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care in Dacula, Georgia has contacted Health Impact News via their attorney. Here is their statement:

All residents of Hope Assisted Living & Memorial Care did not receive flu shots on November 7, 2017 (sic). The only residents receiving the flu shots were done with the consent of the resident and his or her family. None of the residents receiving shots developed fevers or died. The only residents at Hope Assisted Living & Memorial Care who died during the period from November 7, 2014 to November 17, 2014, were hospice patients who did not receive flu shots.

As you can read in the original story below, Hope did originally issue a public reply via their Facebook Page, which we published immediately. Multiple attempts to ask for more clarification regarding their statement via their Facebook Page were deleted, and they eventually took down their Facebook Page. We now have their full statement, as quoted above.

Health Impact News has also been contacted on behalf of alleged family members who died at Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care during the period in question. One alleged family member who contacted us via email, stated that a family member did receive the flu shot on the date reported, and died shortly thereafter. However, the family does not wish to take their story public, stating:

We fear being sued for defamation and libel. Several prominent Atlanta attorneys and doctors have their loved ones at the community we certainly don’t have the means or ability to defend ourselves against them.

Health Impact News does not have the ability nor the legal authority to investigate claims made by anyone, whether employees, family members, or the assisted living center itself. We are simply reporting what we have been told, and have reported everyone’s side of the story.

The flu shot is recommended by the CDC for senior citizens, so there is nothing implied here that Hope Assisted Living and Memory Care has done anything illegal, or different from what other Senior Care centers around the U.S. are doing at this time of year. The decision regarding flu vaccinations is something that every family and person needs to research and make their own decision in terms of risks and benefits.

Original Story from 11/16/2014

Health Impact News

Health Impact News has just received urgent information from health care workers at Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care in Dacula, Georgia. According to our informants, on Friday November 7, 2014, all of the residents received flu vaccinations. They reportedly developed a fever immediately, and within one week, five of the residents died.

According to its website, Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care specializes in Alzheimer’s and Dementia care. Our sources indicate that 5 fatalities in one week is extremely unusual, as the center “maybe loses a couple of people every 6 months or longer to Alzheimers.” One source stated to Health Impact News:

The facility is not saying they are related to the flu shot but we all know they are, and they know they are.

Healthcare workers across the U.S. fear to speak out against injuries due to vaccines, as it usually costs them their job. If you know anyone with family members at this facility near Atlanta Georgia, please demand an investigation immediately.

Some facts about the flu shot:

The flu shot is the most dangerous and deadly vaccine in the United States due to payouts from the National Vaccine Compensation program for injuries and vaccine deaths. (See: Victims Crippled and Killed by the Flu Shot Compensated by U.S. Government.)
According to the National Vaccine Information Center (NIVC), the US Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) received a massive 93,000 reports of adverse reactions following last year’s flu vaccine. These included 1,080 deaths and 8,888 hospitalizations.
The Fluzone flu vaccine marketed to seniors last year revealed 23 seniors died during drug trial in its package insert (See: 23 Seniors Died After Receiving Flu Shot Sold by Pharmacies.)

UPDATE 11/17/2014: Local media in Atlanta has contacted us and are interested in interviewing family members of those who died at Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care last week. If you are a family member of a resident at Hope Center that has suffered or died since last week’s flu shot, please contact us.

Hope Assisted Living & Memory Care has issued a statement threatening legal action on their Facebook Page:

(UPDATE 11/18/2014: They have apparently removed their Facebook Page now.)

Reader comments from our Facebook Page (not from the assisted living center mentioned in this story):

My grandmother was unresponsive less than 15 hours after her flu shot and died just a day after she got it. NO one should be getting this! – Jamie

That’s how my grandmother died. She was healthy but living in extended care. 100 years old – never had a flu shot in her life. The facility decided to give shots one year without consent. She died shortly afterward. Very tragic way to go for someone who took such good care of themselves all their life 🙁 – Kim

I had an elderly client who at 70 was paralized by the flu shot. It took him 5 years to get out of the wheel chair. He had a paraplegic son to take care of and it was really hard on him. At 80 he was still planting a garden. I myself have only had one flu shot and was sick the whole year. Have not had another one since. That was 25 ywears ago and I just do not get sick anymore. – Linda

I had a conversation with a retired man last week, he said his wife was In bed with the flu, trying every medication to get rid of it, I said to him has she just had the flu vaccine by any chance, he said yes, she has it every year!? – Melissa

Got the shot once at the prompting of someone else… Sick within the week and ended up with pneumonia, never had the flu before the shot or after that first bout with pneumonia and I am now 71, and never intend to get another vaccine for anything! – Barbara

My sister had never had a flu or pneumonia shot in her life. She was 55 yrs old when she got a pneumonia shot. She had the shot around 2 pm,  I went to visit her that same day,  around 8 pm,  and was shocked to find her slumped over her desk.  Horrible!

I had to change GPs because of the insistence and persistence that my 85 yr old mum get the flu shot. We even had to hide from the nurse to get out of having it. Mother had pneumonia after vaccine few years before, but had been well without it. But Drs treat me like I’m irresponsible for not being upto date with it. I had a flu shot several years ago and was so sick. And also my daughter who was in her mid 20s. Never again! Culling off the elderly in various ways. Recently rescued my mother from insane cardiologist who almost killed her.

My mom has gotten the flu shot for the past 20+ years and now has Alzheimers, probably from all the heavy metals she’s taken in her body from these vaccines over the years. The damage isn’t always immediate.

My mother received a flu shot and it put her into a wheelchair with a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis, out of nowhere at the age of 72.  She underwent several years of methotrexate and prednisone before I intervened.  I said we are taking her records to a different doctor, and then suddenly she didn’t have it anymore.  You have to guard your parents.  Medical offices have various incentives tied to the percentage of the patient population “fully immunized”.

I got the swine flu shot.Flue shot also have peanut oil in them.Think about all the children in school with peanut allergies. Well guess what happened to me. I am now deadly allergic to peanuts. MMR vaccine given to little ones have peanut oil, Mercury and other non active virus. HEAD SCIENTIST FOR MERK.Dr. Maurice Hillman admitted  presence of SV40, AIDS, and Cancer viruses in vaccine.

My father, an active, healthy (golf, tennis, bowling, cards EVERY week) got a flu shot (despite my telling him not to) and 2 weeks later was in the hospital – he appeared to have a stroke as half his face collapsed.  The Dr.’s did not believe he had a stroke however and I asked them if it was because of the flu shot – one of the Dr’s did tell me he WILL NEVER get the flu vaccine and that yes, this could very well be because of the flu vaccine (how refreshing – an honest Dr.).  My dad is slowly recovering (if he were not so active I do not know if he would have).  He was in the hospital for 1 week and then rehab for 3 more – now home and outpatient rehab.  Do not allow your parents, friends, loved ones to get a flu shot!

I’ve gotten the flu shot for 5 years in a row and this last time I had a bald spot on my head (alopecia aereata) within two and a half weeks of getting the shot. Vaccines have been linked with alopecia aereata but doctors won’t tell you. Lucky for me the bald spot is growing back but I’m not getting any more flu shots.

I had a flu shot about 52 years ago and had the flu, haven’t had one since and haven’t had the flu….haven’t had pneumonia shot either and no pneumonia…..

My Mother just had a flu shot and pneumonia shot on Friday. I wished I would have went to dr with her now. I would have never allowed her to get it. She has been extremely sick vomiting and diarrhea since. Now she has pain I. Her chest and sounds like pneumonia. Took her back to dr and said it was just a virus. I’m not convinced because she was feeling great before she got shots. No signs of sickness at all. Now in extremely worried. What would you do if you were me? Should I take her to hospital?

As one who has provided care and oversight to so many beloved elderly in our family (all in 90’s) who are now gone, I implore of Nancy and the others to please listen…and then follow your own wisdom (intuition) to not allow another flu shot.  

Not only is there the oft’ added Thimersol preservative of Mercury which, over time, does accumulate in the brain (implicated in abnormal dementia of Alzheimer’s), but so have I seen a recent report in the news that is touting how “specifically for the elderly”…who have received little to no significant benefit from prior annual flu vaccines…there are two new flu vaccines this season in the ‘tri’ or ‘quad’ variety…which means…there will be either three or four strains of flu virus in one injection for what health authorities are hoping will (finally) provide robust antibody development…and I suggest will actually incite ‘all the more’ adverse reaction in this agedly vulnerable population.  

The problem is that ALL ‘prophylactic’ (unnaturally delivered in muscle or blood, not via respiratory system) vaccines are perceived by the body as pro-inflammatory and with flu, in particular, they depress the strength or protective function of the innate immune system for a few days…which is why some folks who are immunologically weak do come down with the flu.  In other words, it depends on what one’s immunity is (more robust or more challenged) before one receives a vaccine. Plus, for those who think a nasal application such as FluMist might be better, this is made with a ‘live’ virus that, after one dose, has been found to shed (gets shared) for 21 days which means all the more are being unnaturally exposed to flu.  Don’t be fooled by the propaganda because rather than as the CDC and WHO who claim they are seeking ‘herd immunity’…the reality is this is more akin to what I can only see as ‘herd infection.’  

Not surprisingly, this is why there are many adverse reactions in the third world countries where all ages, but primarily the children, who are severely compromised (malnutrition, unclean water, close quarters, various health disorders, etc.) and are given whatever vaccine (i.e. flu, polio, whopping cough (Pertussis), etc.) will evolve into that disease…and if not permanently harmed, so are hundreds being further weakened enough that they die, often because there’s little access to treatment.  

Matter of fact, when we know the Supreme Court of India is looking into whether there is lawful merit to sue the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for what their (heavily pushed) Gardasil (HPV) vaccine (made by Merck) has done to injure and kill young women (unfortunately, also pushed in our country for girls and boys ages 9-26)…how could anyone place their trust in such a dubious entity, operation and product.  Unfortunately, India is not an isolated case…and sadly, if it is found that five elderly people have died in Georgia due to unnecessary vaccine exposure, neither will this likely be a sole tragedy primarily because this is the Flu season…and as I have seen first-hand, not enough administrators or decision makers of these housing properties ever question the LACK of basic sense when thinking that (somehow) such one-size-fits-all injection will be safe.

That it is not…and rather than take any undue risk, please avoid Flu vaccines.  Even as grim as it is, many thanks to Health Impact News for this latest news and by now, the long appreciated ethical integrity.  It so matters that you keep on doing what you do so well.  Thank you.

My husband’s grandfather dropped dead sitting on his scooter within an hour of receiving his flu shot.  It was so sad and so obvious what had caused it, yet no one felt the need to file a report with the VAERS.  Made me wonder how often that happens and no one bothers to even report it.

The I’m 28 and have only had the flu shot twice as an adult. And I’ve only had the flu twice- the years I got the shot. I have not taken the vaccine since and I even kissed my husband (then boyfriend) when he had the flu and never caught it!

If they gave this without the consent, isn’t that murder, or at least negligent homicide?   Medical hubris is appalling and has to be checked.  How Congress gave the vaccine industry immunity from the legal system is mind boggling?

‘And then of course, as you well know, we may suspect that there are other reasons that could be political or genocidal because the product is administered to large amounts of older people and as you well know in nursing homes where they receive flu vaccines there are many, many cases of flu shortly after the vaccination effort which indicates a total association and from a very crude point of view the perpetuation of life in older people particularly in nursing homes is not desirable to those that handle the funds. So of course we cannot prove this but it certainly presents a seductive hypothesis.’— Eva Snead, M.D.

I am Senior female mid 70’s. Been getting flu shots yearly for last 8 years.  And got pneumonia vaccine also as needed.  I never had any bad reaction at time, BUT I
ALWAYS GOT SEVERE FLU AND ENDED INTO PNEUMONIA EVERY SINGLE FEB.-MARCH.  IN BED AT HOME TOO SICK TO EVEN GO TO DOCTOR.  I am rather homebound, live alone, go out only to market. Dont know how I get exposed so
Easily.  This year, I wont get a flu vaccine shot at all and will see if I get that sick.
  Doctor kinda laughs that I get flu so bad yearly after vaccine,  but says “Well,
You probably could die without the vaccine, instead of just getting real sick”.
  I will f ind out ’14-’15 if I get so sick WITHOUT FLU SHOT.

I had the same thing happen to me two years in a row, when I was in my forties.  Never had a flu shot again, and haven’t had the flu again…and that was ten years ago.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.
