You’ll need to go to site to see the full report, also, check out your Air Quality!
Anyway, this is what the people in my city drink…….check out your city and see what’s in your water! I say, if they would clean up our water and our air pollution, we would all be healthier.
It would cut down on disease, of course the capitalization of disease is big business in the USA.!
Bird Flu Vaccine. Now with TWICE the Mercury!
Posted Sep 12 08 10:26am
FDA’s newly approved Bird Flu vaccine contains 100mgs of Thimerosal which means 50 of Mercury!

Whereas you needed to be 550lbs to safely take the mercury laden flu shot with 25 mikes of merc according to the EPA, now you must weigh 1100 lbs to safely take the bird flu shot. Oh… and you need two doses 28 days apart.
How is this making vaccines safer?
If bird flu comes, just don’t go outside.
Update: I seem to remember some bad movie from the 70’s where people caught a horrible disease from a bird and locked themselves in a clinic and created an vaccine but in the end the vaccine killed them and everyone else ended up being fine. Does anyone remember this movie?
