Flu Shots Contain Mercury?
- A recent article on Rense.com raised a potentially important issue, that recent research into the type of flu shots administered on some campuses have shown they contain a potentially toxic preservative, but health officials say the benefits of the shot outweigh the risks.
- “The toxic metal mercury is used as a preservative in an ingredient called thimerosal, which is used in the flu shots being given at SAIT, as well as most common vaccinations and shots. One pharmaceutical flu shot out there contains 0.01% of thimerosal, which is about 25 to 50 mcg. This preservative was found to be so toxic to pregnant women and infants, that the California State Senate became the second state in the US to pass a bill prohibiting doctors from giving vaccines containing thimerosal to pregnant women and children under three. The State passed the bill with the understanding that thimerosal may cause neurological conditions and diseases. US flu shots contain approximately 25 mcg of thimerosal.”
- Is this worth further investigation?
