The shot contains mercury.
The swine flu vaccine will be available here in December, and Californians will have to decide whether this is something we want for ourselves and for our children.
Broadcast News: News stories tell us that 1/3 of people will not get the vaccine because of concerns about its safety, but then they go on to voice distress about there not being enough vaccine for everyone.
We see mothers waiting in line with their toddlers for hours for the vaccine.
We see people complaining that they can't get a flu shot.
We see government officials and doctors telling us we should get the vaccine.
They say the N1H1 vaccine is safe. They say they are tracking any adverse effects.
But, is the N1H1 vaccine safe? Who should we trust?
No Long-Term Studies: As everyone is well aware of, there are no long-term studies on the safety of the N1H1 vaccine.
Fear vs. Fear: It comes down to a choice between the fear of the swine flu and the fear of the vaccine.
Mercury: Mercury is a concern, so, if you do opt for the vaccine, get the FluMist nasal spray that is preservative-free.
Few Deaths: The good news is that there are so few deaths linked to the swine flu, by next month most people may have forgotten all about it and the inoculation.
That would suit health author Gary Null. His take on the whole matter was "Forget about it!" See video.
