I've already clearly stated how I went about making my decisions regarding the flu vaccine and it was certainly not limited to "reading internet stories from parents who are convinced vaccines damaged their children".
You asked if we should consider "Evidence that parents know their children and know when everything changes suddenly with their child post vaccination."
That is not evidence, it is anecdote. It ignores the millions of children who receive vaccines who do not develop the anecdotal illness. It boils down to the parents believing the vaccine came first, so it caused the illness.
If you have scientific evidence to support not vaccinating children against influenza, please share it with us.

We should take their stories into consideration. Parents know their children better then anyone else. It's wrong to just dismiss them out of hand, without further research.
I'm guessing they do bad things to children. Children are not getting smarter, they are getting dumber, more withdrawn. Autism, and other immune system diseases, as well as allergies has increased with the increase of vaccines. No other country gives this many vaccines, or has the troubles we have.
The article is speculative, loaded with words like "may", and provides no actual supporting evidence for what "may" be going on with environmental mercury. It is totally irrelevant to childhood vaccines, all of which no longer contain mercury. Those who persist in the delusional fear of thimerosal can get vaccines without it, including flu vaccine. Thimerosal is a non-issue. People need to get over it.

Millions have been spent disproving a connection between vaccines and the broad range of illnesses that patients think vaccines caused in their children. The fact is that these conditions have been found to occur no more frequently in children who have been immunized than children who have not. Parents just refuse to believe it.

"Is it possible a mom requesting thimerosal free vaccines at the 2 month visit actually just injected her child with 6 micrograms via the DTaP and HepB? According to the CDC it is!"

If you want it, because you have an irrational fear of thimerosal, you can get every childhood vaccine with no thimerosal. None. Zip. Nada. See Table 1.
