Die flu

This is done very well, however, it excludes the ingredients in the vaccine which can cause ill health such as mercury which is named tamisol, as well inform of those that do die usually being ill health, and that getting a vaccine does not mean you will not get the flu. So, it is a purposeful lie by not telling everything.

I see! It all makes sense now! now I know what H1N1, H5N1, and such notations actually mean. Not only that, now I know how most virii (like influenza, norovirus and so on) are hard to get natural immunity from.

This doesn't change the fact that Im dying??

In general the vaccine is very safe and very effective, so I think the message below does not help people understand the usefulness of the flu vaccine. Millions of persons are vaccinated yearly, the efficacy of the vaccine is high in persons with normal immune systems, and the cost is low. Many reasons to get vaccinated; one is to protect yourself, another is to protect your family and loved ones. If you get vaccinated, you don't transmit the virus to your family, children, infants, and elderly.
