Flu shots contain mercury

You get far more mercury from an average fish. Vaccines save lives, in fact most of you would probably not even be alive today without them (measles, polio, etc, would have gotten you or your parents).

You show your ignorance without a problem. There is no safe level of Mercury dummy. Plus a vaccine goes directly into your bloodstream bypassing any protection your body has against foreign toxins. Also, there is not clear scientific proof that vaccines erradicated polio. It is what they call a post hoc ergo propter hoc - a coincidental correlation to the improved living conditions of the time. Do some serious research and provide clear concise data to support your claims.

Ya!! Don't you all know that it's ok to put poison in your bodies as long as we call it science.

Nothing from science could be bad.

I trust anyone who tells me to trust them. Even more if they're dressed up in a uniform of some kind.

Good job, truly genious.

@jeffrick289 Finding good sources on mercury toxicity levels is quite hard. Googling it will mostly give you propaganda/conspiracy pages. Those scientific papers that can be found are usually tricky to find, but they are there, so spend some time reading scientific papers, there is a lot of information to be found there.

@jeffrick289 you would see a far higher amount of mercury poison cases in groups of people who eat a lot of fish (the people of Norway would have gone extinct by now, as they have a diet consisting of a lot of fatty fish).

@jeffrick289 To say that no mercury leaves your body (which he say in the video) is also not true, though it is a very slow process. If it did not, we would not find any mercury in peoples hair. The body is quite good at absorbing mercury which is part of fatty solutions (but not water based solutions, for obvious reasons), which you might consider a lot of fish types to be, and if very small doses of mercury was very dangerous

@jeffrick289 A flue vaccine contains roughly 25µg of mercury (25 millionths of a gram) per 5mL (one does) in multi-dose vials ONLY. You are right in saying that there is no generally considered "safe level", though the level of mercury in flue shots is so low that you could take a weekly flue shot, and still not reach the level of mercury in your body where it would be considered dangerous by the time you die.

@jeffrick289 While there are no proof, there are strong indications of vaccines helping to deal with polio, where areas that received polio vaccines showing a relatively immediate decrease in people suffering from polio, in particular in the age groups that were prioritized (and you make it sound like the 50s & 60s had radically worse living conditions than we have today).

[mikisenx]

@jeffrick289 Not only that, most vaccines today use fenoxyethanol instead, which is a preservative with low toxicity and that the body can break down and handle.

@jeffrick289 If I provide you with the abundance of data and the science of vaccines (they work, duh) you will just say "uh, this comes from big pharma and I refuse this data because it's just stupid sheep who would buy this propaganda, they just want to steal your money".

The mercury in the vaccines are negligeble, and as I said - if you eat fish regulary you will have thousands of times more mercury from your food than what a shot would give.

Anti-vax losers would be simply sad fruit loops if they weren't so dangerous and sucked in the ignorant and paranoid. We have one in Australia who, hand on heart, is putting it around that the government is trying to make the population sterile with H1N1 vax.
