My mother used to make me get the flu shot every year when I was a teen. I got violently ill every year. She would claim it would have been worse had I not gotten the flu shot. Me, barely able to pick up my head, and violently vomiting, would ask "How much worse can this be??? Death?" When I got older I started refusing to get the flu shot. Haven't had such a bad flu since. Sure, I've gotten sick, but nowhere NEAR what it would be when I got the flu vax. After hearing many many stories of parents who's children suffered irreversible side effects due to the regular recommended childhood vaxs, I decided not to vax my child. It doesn't make sense that they tell you to stay away from a lot of types of seafood while pregnant because of the high mercury levels but then as soon as your child exits the womb, fill them up with enough mercury for a 500lb man.
