i dont think mercury needs to be in it. or other ingredients. excuses, excuses. so many excuses.

my theory is they make the virus, make the vaccine, release the virus, release the vaccine.

You poor sick bastard.  You really believe the world is a static, safe place in which evil people manufacture human destruction by microbe in order to make a buck selling the cure?

family guy just did ep on this.

id say sure, they work. but then again, im a conspiracy theorist.

Seriously? An episode of 'Family Guy' is what prompted you to question vaccines? 'Family Guy'?

Boru

And yet still a cut above the sort of sources these guys usually come up with.

We need to ask the question: Do our vaccines have to have math in it?

BTW, is there some substance everyone is allergic too ?

How about something no one is ?

I've heard it's impossible to be allergic to anti-histamines, but I have my doubts . . .

If you want to increase your chances of dying from a disease then... I guess vaccines aren't so great Tongue

The "mercury" used in some vaccines is actually "thiomersal". Mercury is a single element, while thiomersal is a more complex molecule. Here's a visual of thiomersal for you.

Anti-vaxxers HATE chemistry..  It's so hard.

The mere existence of my testicles is a better argument for pro-vaccination than all the arguments for anti-vaccination.
