The ingredients here sound like a 'potion' from a horror show.

Only the horror shows are more interesting with their goblins, witches, broom

sticks etc.

Ugh - the stuff in flue vaccines is a awful as the rest; glad I am

that I didn't get one last fall. Even still mercury in it; truly 'a devil's

potion'.

they knew about the animal derivatives in the vaccines. "

[Note: in the USA The Physicians Desk Reference, often found in public

libraries, is a good source of information. The vaccines also come with what are

called " Package Inserts " which you may ask for from your doctor. Better yet,

check our Inserts page for download links to package inserts.]
