Gelatin: known to cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin

Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis

Formaldehyde: known carcinogen

Triton X100: a strong detergent

Sucrose: table sugar

Resin: known to cause allergic reactions

Gentamycin: an antibiotic

Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose vials

You go ahead and get your shot of detergent, Formaldehyde, and mercury just to try and avoid a flu virus that if you come into contact with you will contract anyhow because nothing in any scientific study has shown that the flu shot prevents getting the flu and even if it did the odds that it will be one of those three it supposedly protects against is like winning the lottery.
I did the math on Thimerosal, in this post, and
Quote:
The maximum concentration of thimerosal will result in .5 micrograms of mercury to be injected. Converted it means that 0.0005 milligrams of mercury are injected.

.001 is twice 0.0005. That is, the dose of mercury that the Sask government deems safe for consumption in a single liter of water is twice the amount of mercury that is in the maximum dose contained in a single injection.

I don't know about anyone else, but that seems pretty safe to me.
I do understand that it is not scientific and could be totally wrong, but it makes sense to me.
