In the United States, flu kills on an average of 36,000 people each year, and 114,000 are hospitalized each year.
Several vaccines still contain thimerosal, and neither the AAP nor the CDC will warn citizens to choose thimerosal-free flu vaccines in the fall.
In addition to the potential risks to children from mercury in vaccines, adults should be concerned about the risks they themselves accumulate by taking the vaccine each year. According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, one of the world's leading immunogeneticists, if an individual had five flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied), his of her chances of getting Alzheimer's disease are ten times higher than a person who had one, two or no shots. He explained that mercury and aluminum are found in every flu shot. The gradual buildup of mercury and aluminum in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction.
