Think twice about new flu vaccines-Deadly Amount of Squalene in the Shots

Think twice about new flu vaccines
Letter to the Editor

The Augusta Chronicle abounds with articles on the flu and vaccines lately. The scary part is that they have neglected to comment on the dangers of both flu vaccines for the H1N1 and the seasonal flu.


Available Oct. 1 will be the Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine live, irtranasal or Flumist. Stated on the insert is that it has not be tested for safety on pregnant women. The insert also states that people should be warned that this one has the potential for transmission to others. So if a child gets the Flumist in school they are contagious to the other children for at least two weeks.
The H1N1 vaccine (shot form) has been fast-tracked with very few studies. The studies done, however, have been completed without the added thimerosal (mercury) and squalene. The vaccines for the general public, when they are ready, will be formulated with squalene (a possible cause of Gulf War Syndrome) and thimerosal, a known neurotoxin. Very few vaccines without these additives will be available.
Also, 90 percent of the seasonal flu vaccines contain thimerosal.
My hope is that everyone will educate themselves before vaccinating.
