before taking the vaccine please understand all ingredients that are entering YOUR body. probably safer to get sick the natural way than to put in a chemical mishmash (including mercury)

I will not be volunteering to get a shot, if you want mine , you can have it! I think there are more natural and safer ways to prevent the flu and stay healthy,
