Flu Jab? No Thanks

[poliphilo]

I'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.

My Dad has been having 'flu jabs since the late 1960s. As he's now 93, it doesn't seem to have done him any harm and they certainly work. My mum, my brother and me seem to have a pretty good natural immunity. I've only ever had proper 'flu about 3 times in my life, but Dad got it every year, year after year with scarily high temperatures, bad chests and at least a week off work. That's why, when the firm he worked for started offering them to their employees, he tried it and he's never had such severe 'flu again.

Regarding the article, the others have explained the anti-vax paranoia and misinformation better than I could.
