Doctor ordered mercury-free Flu Shot

[Guest guest]

I know most of you don't believe in getting a flu shot but I've been getting

them for a very long time and have not had the flu. I don't know if it's the

shot or if I have a good immune system, lol.

 

Anyways, after learning that all shots contain mercury I got my doctor to order

me the mercury free shot. It's for infants and she said I have to have 2 of

them for it to equal an adult shot. Does anyone have any opinion on using the

mercury free infant shot?

 

~~Thanks, Ruth~~

No opinion, just that it sounds like a wise decision if you want to get a flu

shot.

Hi Ruth,

 

I would have thought the flu shot was really only needed by people at

high risk (elderly, etc) - I'm still working through what I think

about vaccines in general, so I can't say that I would rule out a

vaccination 100% outright (I'm still sifting through the pros and the

cons), although I think you did the right thing in getting a

mercury-free one.

 

In any case, I can share with you some information I have found about

mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines.

 

Here is an excerpt of a paragraph I wrote for a paper for my course...

 

" ...there has been much concern about a link between the mercury dose

of thimerosal-containing vaccines, adverse reactions and

neurodevelopmental disorders in children, such as autism, speech

disorders, ataxia, etc. Geier and Geier (2003, 2004) have done

reviews of the US VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System)

database to determine if there is a connection. Their conclusions are

that there is a connection shown as simultaneous mercury doses for

children rose in the US between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s at the

same time period when the prevalence of autism rose from one in 2500

to one in 300 children. In 1999, the US FDA recommended that

manufacturers remove thimerosal from vaccines routinely recommended

for children 6 years of age and younger, in response to theoretical

concerns about the cumulative doses of mercury (U.S. Food and Drug

Administration 2007). In a follow-up review of VAERS data for

children under 5 years of age from 1991 to 2004, they also showed a

peak in reports of neurodevelopmental disorders by about 1998 and a

decline thereafter (Geier and Geier 2006). "

 

In short, Geier and Geier showed a correlation between an increase in

neurodevelopmental disorders with increase of vaccine-related mercury

intake in children and then a correlation in the decline of these

disorders after mercury was removed from childhood vaccines.

 

So it seems that the research is showing that mercury in vaccines is

an issue, especially since it can accumulate in tissues, and is very

hard to shift once there.

 

Hope this helps

Sharon

Hi Ruth, In most cases they are replacing the thermisol with formaldehyde or

some other detrimental preservative. Ask your doctor what is in the shot and

then research it on line. The shots to date have not had the flu virus that is

going around at the time you have the shot, so it acks more as a placebo and a

detriment to the system. Read about flu shots on www.mercola.com and other

popular sites. You can protect yourself with homeopathics and not get in

trouble like with flu shots. Your choice, but I just don't believe in putting

flu shots in my blood.

I only got a flu shot once in my life. I got the flu the same year

so I don't think it worked.

I've seen too many people die after flu shots to say anything you might wish

to hear Ruth

The flu shot still contains aluminum which has its own set of problems.Aluminum

in the bloodstream is not a good idea. Watch out for all vaccines because most

of them have aluminum in them. Mercury is far from the only ingredient that

needs to be avoided. Someone said that they read that vaccines have flouride as

well but I dont know this to be true. I would not put it past them to put it in

them however. You should read the ingredient list and the vaccine insert before

accepting any vaccine. The vaccine insert is not the piece of paper they get you

to read before you sign permission. The vaccine insert tells you so much more.

It might tell you that the flu vaccine is only 50ish% effective in the elderly

and young. It has been awhile but the vaccine is just not nearly as effective as

people are led to believe.

 

Please look at the aluminum issue and what is inside each flu vaccine whether or

not it has mercury. It still has trace amounts of mercury in the flu shots by

the way. They just tried to remove as much as they could.
