research and evidence shows you vaccines are a GOOD THING, prevent DEADLY DISEASES and have very few side effects

of coarse its your choice...but YOU and YOUR FAMILY are running the risk....mumps, whooping cough, measles, german measles, etc...get vaccinated and save the hillbillies or don't get vaccinated and possibly wipe out an entire town

Actually, the multimode flu vaccine does have mercury (Thimerosal), but mercury-free shots are available and there is no mercury in Flu Mist. That is the only childhood vaccine that MAY contain mercury.

If the vaccine compromises your immune system, why are the people who are dying from flu the ones who have not taken the vaccine?

How is it compromised? You are injected with a flu antigen which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against that particular virus and possibly some close cousins to that virus and in turn gives immunity to the person injected. Your thought process is convoluted. Again, please explain how it is compromised?

You guys aren't getting your stories straight. One time you're saying that EVERYONE must be forced to take the vaccines because they won't work on all people, now you're claiming that as long as someone gets the vaccine, they will not get the flu.

I seriously doubt that.

Why am I not dead by now? I have never had a flu vaccine. I feel perfectly fine. I use no drugs, am on no prescriptions, haven't seen a doctor in years and I've never called in sick to work.

Taking a vaccine does not improve one's overall health -- that's is plain silly.

It's serious only for some. You can guarantee that during my life, I've had exposure to the flu viruses and I've never had a single flu vaccine. I've never had to call in sick to work, I've most likely had the flu but recovered over a weekend.

There are too many other factors that aren't being presented in the flu deaths. Did the virus actually kill them or did they lay in bed for several days straight and let their lungs fill up with fluid or did bed rest lead to emboli that killed them? Lots of people are under the mistaken belief that laying in bed will help them fight a viral infection when it's actually the worst thing they can do.
