Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FLU SHOTS: MERCURY CONTENT Only 6-8% of this year's flu vaccine supply is mercury free. The remaining 92-94% contains 25 micrograms of mercury per adult dose and 12.5 micrograms of mercury per pediatric dose. If you suffered any of the following symptoms following your flu vaccine, please call Health Advocacy in the Public Interest at 641-7413 and we will help you report your reaction to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System: stroke, kidney problems, severe abdominal pain, skin irritation/ dermatitis/eczema, irritation of eyes and mucous membranes, irritation of upper respiratory tract, pain or numbness in extremities, or jaundice. These are all symptoms of mercury poisoning. FLU VACCINE AND PRESERVATIVES When public health advertises that their flu vaccine contains a preservative, they mean Thimerosal. Thimerosal is almost 50% mercury by weight. Mercury is the most toxic substance on earth next to plutonium. Each adult dose contains 25 micrograms of mercury; each pediatric dose contains 12.5 micrograms. According to EPA guidelines, you need to weigh 551 pounds to safely ingest, not inject, 25 micrograms of mercury, or 225.5 pounds to safely ingest 12.5 micrograms. How much do you or your child weigh? Call 641-7413 or email hapi@... for more information. Health Advocacy in the Public Interest (HAPI) www.hapihealth.com Elliotteliz3378@...
