First, vaccines rarely actually prevent diseases. Consider a factoid from an article linked from mercola.com: if 100 people are vaccinated for the flu, the disease is prevented in about ZERO to FOUR of those people. That's a pretty low success rate for a drug that's so heavily pushed by the medical community.
The ingredient list in one of the more commonly issued vaccines -- the one for influenza -- contains items that would make the grim reaper nervous: mercury, formaldehyde (a chemical used in embalming dead bodies), gelatin (made from the crushed-up skin, bones, and tendons of animals), rotting eggs, and even some chemicals known to kill sperm and contribute to infertility.
Many people don't realize how utterly horrendous the vaccines can actually be for your body. In addition to sometimes causing the disease they're supposed to prevent (think "flu vaccine"), they can cause major health complications for years to come. (In fact, many of my health issues that I've suffered all my life can be directly or indirectly attributed to vaccinations.)
Despite all the evidence that has exposed vaccinations to be ineffective and often very harmful, they keep being pushed on us because of the money drug companies are making on them. And the government agencies that are telling us they're safe? They're led by people with direct ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Somehow, though, this not-so-minor conflict-of-interest gets swept under the rug. Convenient, huh?
This is all to say, if you're considering getting a flu vaccine this year (or vaccinating your children, for that matter), I'd think twice.
