You may not actually get the flu from the shot but one still needs to make an informed decision before taking the shot. It often contains the following three ingredients:
Formaldehyde, a known cancer causing agent.
Thimerosal (a preservative), a derivative of mercury, a known neurotoxin linked to brain damage and autoimmune disease.
Aluminum, a heavy metal that has been associated with an increased incidence of Alzheimers Disease.
Hope this is useful.

No the flu shot contains a dead virus, so it cannot cause a flu. It can cause complications if you have an allergy to egg yoke, however this is rare. There are thousands of strains of the flu, so the world health organisation works out which ones are most prevelent, and these strains are included in the flu shot. Thus you can still get a strain of the flu after having the shot from a strain not included in the vaccination.

technically you are being given 4 strands of the flu from the flu shot.. but it's a weakened form that your body easily contains and starts to produce the bodies defense to that strand of virus.. which is what causes your immunity.. rarely, and usually from a bad vaccine, it is possible to get the flu.. most likely you already had the flu and it was becoming active ... but the shot should still help the body fight off the infection faster. other than that, sometimes people report flu like symptoms from getting all types of vaccines.. it's just one of the ways some people react to it.. but it's not a true infection.

Absolutely not. Don't believe it. This is what I do for a living, research drugs, devices, etc. You cannot get the flu from the vaccine!
But if you get the vaccine, you can still get the flu. It just won't be as severe.

Most definitely.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

I have been told you will get mild symptoms occasionally if you get a flu shot, but it is not the flu. I have a friend who gets these "symptoms" every time she gets one.

no because the shot is made from the dead virus, not live virus.
