As a father I want to ensure my son has the best chances of survival but, I’m just as concerned about what the long term effects of the vaccine could be. This thing seems to have been rushed out into production. We don’t really know what side effects if any will be present and to whom.
The local news (channel 8, I think) recently ran a story about a mother going to get her children vaccinated at Balboa Hospital but, changing her mind once she learned that the version offered there contained a very smalll amount of mercury. Her concern was that mercury has been linked to Autism.

This is just another subtype of influenza A virus and the vaccine production technique is the same as it was in the past 20+ years, grown in chicken eggs, it’s not something new. They don’t even use adjuvants so there is no problem. I’d be more worried about the chemicals in food stuff, colorants and such, which are much harder to avoid and also, don’t provide a potential benefit/protection like the vaccine.
Mercury was NOT linked to autism per se. It was an unfortunate combination of an EXTREMELY rare genetic defect and that vaccine.
Vaccines are not for the sake of an individual. They are for the sake of the whole population to reduce the epidemics – and reduce the risk of more vulnerable people to die of complications from this thing. If they’d have enough vaccine, they’d vaccinate everybody who wants to.
It’s fine to say you don’t want to get vaccinated, but if you get sick and spread this around and it kills kids or pregnant women who were exposed to you, won’t you feel bad?
