(Natural News) Shocking new survey data shows that a growing number of parents are waking up to the vaccine industry's lies — at least when it comes to flu shots. While vaccine skepticism is largely maligned by the mainstream media, the truth is that a substantial number of professionals are turning their backs on Big Pharma. Anti-vax nurses are coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories, and many top scientists are now refusing to vaccinate their own children.

It is no wonder that a growing number of Americans are realizing Big Pharma and the government elite do not have the public's best interests in mind. And as polling data from Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children shows, many Americans are now realizing just that.

Flu shot skepticism on the rise

The mainstream medical community has been working tirelessly with the establishment media and the pharmaceutical industry to push the narrative that all vaccines are safe and that the flu shot is necessary for "good" health. But despite their best efforts, national polling data shows that nearly half of American parents believe the flu shot can make their kids sick.

As researchers from Orlando Health report, a growing number of people are questioning the safety and efficacy of flu vaccines. Some 50 percent believe the flu shot may make their child sick, and another third of parents believed the flu shot simply didn't work.

Twenty-eight percent of parents also stated that the flu shot might be a cause of autism.

Dr. Jean Moorjani, a pediatrician at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, was quick to refute any and all vaccine skepticism in a recently published press release on the study's findings.  "After years of research, we know that the flu vaccine is safe," said Dr. Moorjani.

"The flu shot does not cause autism or any other diseases or illnesses. Doctors recommend the flu shot because it is the best way to protect you and your family from the flu."
