We Need Flu Shots Annually Up to 18 Years…?
I read an ABC News article today that said the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices says that babies 6 months old up to 18 year olds need flu vaccination shots annually. That’s a lot of confrontations with needles. Not sure how many kids would like hearing this.
“Kids ages 5 to 18 get flu at higher rates than other age groups, but they don’t tend to get as sick from it…But kids who stay home sick from school cause parents to stay home, so reducing the illness in this group should cut down days of lost work in their parents and adult contacts, some experts said.”

kinda big brotherish don’t you think? Granted their has been no direct links to flu shots and autism there is proof that flu shots contain the following; ethylene glycol (antifreeze), triton X-100 (a detergent); polysorbate 80 (a potential carcinogen); gelatin; phenol/carbolic acid (disinfectant and dye), formaldehyde (cancer-causing agent), aluminum and mercury (associated with Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, brain injury and autoimmune disease), plus other chemicals and animal products in addition to three strains of virus.
most of the time they can’t even get the right flu strain so people end up getting sick anyways. I think it should be our choice not the governments.
