Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 If you are asking about the waiver...The company I work for offers the flu shot every year. Last year I signed up to get one. My son had just been dignosed with PDD & I knew (for the 1st time) what thimerisol was. They had me read & sign a form that said I was aware that the shot I was getting contained thimerisol. I went ahead & got one, but this year I declined.

Recently I was upset that my mom's primary physician pressured her to have her annual flu shot that she has had for over 10 years and she told him that her kids didn't want her to get any more. He told her (and my step father) that they are perfectly safe, they only have a dead virus. I asked my step dad if he told them they had harmful mercury and aluminum in them and he said no he didn't. So he lied! Telling them it only had a dead virus. My mom has Alzheimer's now that I am convinced is because of all the flu shots she has gotten. And by the way, my mom did get the shot.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/15/health/15FLU.html The New York Times January 15, 2004 Vaccine Is Said to Fail to Protect Against Flu Strain By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN small study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that this season's influenza vaccine failed to protect against the Fujian strain that has caused most cases. Depending on the way the data were analyzed, the vaccine protected zero to 14 percent of participants in the study, said a scientist briefed on the study who would not allow his name to be used.
