What Flu Shot Is Composed Of?

Vaccination is one of the important things that not only children should have but adults, too. Currently, bacteria and viruses that cause illnesses are getting tougher. The primary step to prevent them is through vaccination. However, vaccines may not as beneficial as we think.

Flu vaccines as well as any other vaccines have a diminutive amount of mercury. That is sort of a shocking discovery because mercury has been proven to be hazardous to human body. Since it is a mineral, it is not digested, only absorbed. As a result, it stays inside our body until we get old and die. Of course, the more mercury you have in your body, the earlier you would be buried six feet below the ground. The good news is that mercury content is removed from products that contain such ingredient. Even the hat making industry that previously utilized mercury in production has substituted the use of this risky substance with a safer alternative. It was found out that a normal multi-dose flu shot is 250 times higher when given and more lethal than the allowed level of mercury ingestion.. This is somewhat scary.

Antibiotics are also one of the ingredients in a flu vaccine so bacteria present in the mixture are killed before entering our internal body system. This is quite good to think. However, the disadvantage is that antibiotics wipe out other good bacteria which are naturally present in our body. They also lower our immune system. Other types of flu vaccines also contain an emulsifier, Polysorbate 80. It is found to be highly toxic and can be fatal because it can cause anaphylactic shock. Despite the fact that flu vaccines have hazardous ingredients, they are still required by several countries and different sectors.

Flu shots only protect you from certain strains of flu virus and you may still catch flu of other strains. The protection is still not guaranteed but one thing: you are vulnerable to toxins that flu shots bring.
