OK - I guess I'll post this again.
People - please do not buy into the media
hype and
sensationalism because that is all it is.
H1N1 is yet another variant on the influenza virus. It is no more prevalent or virulent then the "common" variants of the flu that goes around every year.
Do people die from the flu? - Yes all versions. Last year more people died from the "regular" flu then all the years the H1N1 version has been in the media put together.
And yes there are vaccines that contain ethylmercury. See
Institute for Vaccine Safety - Thimerosal Table for exactly which ones do.
But again, it's not mercury, it's ethylmercury and there is a fairly significant difference. Mainly in how or whether the body stores it in the fatty tissues.
There is a lot of speculation that ethylmercury may be the cause of a number of conditions but they are at this point, just that - speculations. There is no conclusive proof that one has anything to do with the other.
Get educated people! Do not let the media give you your thoughts and opinions. The information is out there. Call your doctor, there are creatable internet sources and well as hot lines you can call.
Make an informed decision. Don't just act on fear mongering and hype.
Edit: and just for the record, personally I do not get flu shots.
