Case in point, in the last few days, people in Canada are told there is a flu vaccine shortage and to hurry up otherwise Canadians will be left without the flu shot.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that there are deadly diseases out there and some should be avoided at all costs. But I just don't like the side effects of the vaccines or what is used to make vaccines.
So before you panic be sure to consider the following risks of getting a flu shot and side effects (these are taken directly from the Center for Disease Control Vaccine Website):
- Soreness, redness, or swelling
- Hoarseness; sore, red or itchy eyes
- Development of cough
- Fever
- Body aches and pains
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Itching
- Fatigue
- Seizures
- GBS (Guillain-Barré Syndrome)
- Egg
- Mercury (thimerosol)
- Aluminum
- Sugar and gelatin
- Formaldehyde
- Residual antibiotics
Some researchers believe that the increase in autism and other developmental disorders in children are linked to mercury exposure.
