Fwd: mercury in flu vaccine

Found it! If we all took a few minutes to contact them, we may get some results. Note: forwarded message attached.

Hi everyone,

At some point we had a discussion on this group about whether or not

flu vaccines contain mercury. Well. I picked up the Milwaukee Journal

this morning, and the headline says, " Most flu shots contain mercury,

but few know it. "

According to the article, a typical flu shot contains 25 mcg, or

50,000 parts per billion, of mercury. By comparison, the EPA's limit

for mercury in drinking water is 2 parts per billion.

The same article also notes that you can get a mercury-free

(thimerosol-free) shot, but you have to ask for it or you won't get

it. It costs $3-4 more per shot.

This article is part of the Journal's " blow the whistle " series. They

say you can report other issues for " blow the whistle " by sending tips

to PIjournalsentinel. Let's all write to them about Miralax!
