This is your brain... after flu vaccines

This is your brain after 5 years of flu shots.

A record 130 million Americans are expected to get a flu shot this season in hopes of ducking the nasty virus, but as the needle pierces the skin more than 80% will also get what some say is a hefty and dangerous dose of mercury.

Mercury is among the most toxic heavy metals and is known to poison the central nervous system, liver, gastrointestinal tract and other systems in the body.

About 80% of all flu shots distributed in the United States contain a mercury-based preservative called thimerosal. Thimerosal consists of 49.6% ethyl mercury, an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal that allows manufacturers to sell the vaccine in large, multi-dose containers without fear of contamination.

A typical 0.5 milliliter flu shot contains 25 micrograms - or 50,000 parts per billion - of mercury.

The EPA classifies a liquid with 200 parts per billion of mercury as hazardous waste. The limit for drinking water is 2 parts per billion.

Using the standards set for methyl mercury consumption - the kind that's in fish - an average 130-pound person getting the flu shot would exceed the daily limit by more than four times. A 22-pound baby would get more than 25 times the amount of mercury considered safe. And doctors are recommending that many babies and children get two flu shots this season.

A material safety data sheet from Eli Lilly and Co., which no longer makes a flu vaccine, says effects of exposure to thimerosal may include "fetal changes, decreased offspring survival and lung tissue changes. . . . Exposure in utero and in children may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment." [Yet the CDC is recommending that pregnant women also receive two flu shots this season -- claiming that, "Influenza vaccines have not been shown to cause harm to a pregnant woman or her baby."]

Thimerosal-free vaccines are available but, people need to ask for them, if they want them, health officials say.

Most people simply aren't aware that mercury is in the flu shot.

"I didn't know," said Kate Strzok, a 23-year-old Oak Creek woman, as she walked out of the Piggly Wiggly where she had just gotten the flu shot. "Interesting that they don't tell you." -- Journal Sentinel

According to neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, people who get the flu shot five years in a row have a ten-fold increased risk of developing Alzheimer's. [2nd brain pictured]

Other neurodegenerative diseases include Parkinson's, Huntington's and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Dr. Blaylock adds, "There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement supplements, and a good diet."

The only way I'll allow someone to come near me with a mandatory flu shot is if they agree to let me inject them first. - c
