Despite the prevalence of these seasonal infections, people continue to have numerous misconceptions. A report from Harvard Medical School debunks common myths and dishes the facts you need to know during this year's cold and flu season.

Has anyone every considered what is in the Flu Shot besides the virus itself? It has Mercury, Aborted Fetus', and many other substances that are toxic to the human body. Do the research and you'll see. Ask your doctor if he/she gets the Flu Shot or gives it to their children. They don't because of what is in it.
