Call me paranoid but i would rather trust a mother than the corrupt government. And the fact that my grandmother has been a nurse for over 30 years, my mother a marine and now lives off the land and nothing but organics. And both of them say you should NOT get it. There are nasty things in it that are worse than the flu anyway.

It lists gentomycin, streptomycin, and neomycin as some of the dangerous additives because they are ototoxic. All of these antibiotics (as well as other ototoxic antibiotics like vancomycin) are commonly used in MUCH higher doses with no problems. Heck, drinking just under two gallons of water in a short time frame can kill you but that doesn't mean we should avoid koolaid because it's made with water. I will not deny there are risks involved with all vaccines but these risks are blown way out of proportions by people with sensationalized sources. As with any medical intervention the decision to get vaccinated should be made with a trusted health care provider and accurate information but for the vast majority of the population vaccinations are beneficial.

Gentomycin, streptomycin, neomycin.
(nods in agreement)
 
I never had a flu shot until we had our son, who is almost 5 yrs old now. I can remember getting the flu as a kid and it wasn't fun.
 
I got the flu shot in the fall. Didn't get the flu.

Or maybe everyone could eat healthy and exercise. Keep yourself healthy and not have to depend on lousy "flu shots"

No one is saying flu shots are the only way to be healthy. I strongly recommend a balanced diet, exercise, and adequate rest to my patients to boost their immune system. If I wasn't in healthcare I probably wouldn't get the shot (although both my children and I are and will stay up to date on other vaccines). But I have to protect my patients so I will continue to get it.


Also that source you listed just cited another blog article for reference, which had no sources.
