Megan, it's good to see a young person is not being manipulated by the media to get this vaccine. It's ridiculous to get a shot for something as mild as this flu. Swine flu is said to be milder than the regular flu. It's like getting a vaccine for diarrhea, but them again I've read there's a vaccine in the works for that also....
There are no studies to indicate that flu shots are of any value for kids. A developing child's brain is more susceptible to the toxins in the vaccine. The exposure to all the toxins are cumulative, so when one piles on vaccine after vaccine it's a powerful mix of chemicals assaulting their developing brain. The preservatives in the vaccine is what people should be worried about, as in: formaldehyde, aluminum, thimerosal, etc. I find it ridiculous that pregnant women and children are told to restrict their consumption of fish because of the dangers of mercury and other toxins but these same type of chemicals are all right injected into their blood stream.....go figure....
