Re: Flu Jab time
I have been having a flu jab every year since the early 90's (pre 65!) when I was offered one by my doctor due to me being my father's sole carer. That is over 20 years and I'm pleased to report that I'm in the best of health and never had flu or health complications in all those years. I'll be going for my pre-arranged vaccination this Friday, as will my husband.We are old enough to make up our own minds about the vaccination and if it were necessary, I would sooner be advised by a medically qualified person than be persuaded by bits and pieces copied and pasted from the internet.

However I truly hope that anyone now thinking of having the flu jab will ask their GP the following questions and insist on answers:
1) Does the vaccine you are recommending to me contain forms of Mercury?
2) If it does, how much Mercury is in it, and if you don't know, why don't you know? How can you recommend it if you don't know?
3) Can I see the packet please so I can read the ingredients list and determine if there is Thimerosal in it and if so what level?
4) How many people per 100 does the flu jab benefit as far as you are concerned and on what data do you base those figures? May I have a copy of those figures please?
The answers people get should be quite interesting and doubtless quite revealing about the state of the NHS and GPs in general.
If they say there is NO Mercury in the vaccine then they are most likely outright lying but an examination of the packet ingredients should confirm.
If they admit there IS Mercury but don't know what level then that imo is utter negligence on their part and I would think twice about taking any advice from them.
If they refuse to let you see the packet ingredient list then again I would walk away sharpish.
I would be very keen to hear from any of you that are electing to have the vaccine and to know exactly what brand/make of vaccine they are giving you and if you can get the ingredients list (called the "insert") from the packet then all the better so you can tell us what it says.

most people will read something once, they won't read the same thing over again when someone with an obsession dons steel capped boots and attempts to ram their opinion down peoples throats with them on .
