poliphiloI've been dodging the flu jab, but wondering whether I had sufficient reason (I don't like needles and don't much trust the medical profession) and then Ailz showed me this article.
The vaccine contains mercury, for pity's sake! And mercury suppresses the immune system.

There is a non-zero chance that you will die if you get the flu. And if you live with or spend time with the elderly, getting the flu shot means you are less likely to infect them so they die of the flu.
