A little dose of mercury with your flu shot? The influenza (flu) shot, intended to help save lives and aid in avoiding influenza is surrounded in controversy as some have experienced adverse reactions following receiving the flu shot. Does society even know what is being put into their bodies? According to the Public Health Agency of Canada's website, Flu shots may contain the following: Adjuvant, which help vaccines work better, longer and faster; Added preservatives to keep multi-dose vaccine vials sterile; Antibiotics to prevent bacterial growth during vaccine preparation; Stabilizers to help maintain quality during storage at different temperatures. Sound harmless? What if you knew there are more ingredients to this recipe? In order to gain some perspective, one would have to imagine being asked, “Would you like some aluminum, trace amounts of the actual virus', some salt and maybe egg protein concentrate that might not have been removed during the assembly process of the Flu shot today? Oh, and.. just a little formaldehyde, but we just put that in to make sure toxins recovered from Diphtheria and Tetanus are inactivated.” Would this knowledge make society take a step back to pause and think about the pros and cons before taking the Flu Shot? Aluminum has already been scientifically linked to Alzheimer's, while those with serious egg allergies have reported incredible suffering. Is it any wonder that while most people do not have a serious reaction, others do have very serious reactions? According to www.immunize.ca/, most side effects of the Flu Shot generally consist of reported sore arms, and mild fever. Should you begin to notice more serious side effects such as respiratory difficulty, confusion, nausea, seek professional, medical help immediately. Immunize Canada states how impossible it is to predict how each individual may react to the Flu Shot and clearly suggest reporting any adverse reactions. There are many studies regarding how many die each year from Influenza related illnesses and the studies unequivocally state most deaths were preventable if only the Flu Shot had been administered. Thought provoking however, the American doctors who helped design the Flu Shot for the US stated to CNN, they guessed wrong (figuring out which influenza virus' to include in their cocktail) when creating the flu shot this year and by the time they figured it out, it was already being administered so it was too late to recall. Oops is right! So what was the point of the flu shot then? The real question is, are you a betting person? And therein lays the controversy. Is it better to be safe than sorry and take the shot erring on the side of caution? While some have taken the Flu Shot faithfully each year and never experienced any form of influenza during cold and Flu season, others have also taken the Flu Shot each year, and each year found themselves very ill each flu season.
