dub190: Last I heard, nearly 100 percent of "cash for clunkers" money was delivered to dealerships at least a month to six weeks ago. If I am wrong, please show me your data. Also, the vaccine delays are due to the manufacturing end. You can only hurry those chicken eggs so fast. How can you blame this on the government?

Facts:there is more mercury in a tuna fish sandwich than in a dose of flu vaccine, thimerosol is ethyl-mercury, which is different than methyl-mercury which is much more difficult to metabolise. Check it out.

Seems like many people in the area are getting sick now. What good is the vaccine going to do when most people have already gotten sick?

rooster: There is no thimerosol (or other preservatives) in the intranasal vaccine which is the only type of vaccine available at these clinics. Also, thimerosol-free preloaded syringes will likely be available at future clinics when injectable vaccine is administered.

http://www.cdc.gov/FLU/ABOUT/QA/thimeros... the information is self serving (not a dangerous additive) but the fact is, thimerosal has been removed from pet vaccines for years and is outlawed in most other countries and like it or not, mercury is a neurotoxin and easily absorbed by the brain. it is the thimerosal in the vaccines that make the people sick after getting the shots. they don't get the flu, but the symptoms are similar.
