Do you Really want the Flu Vaccine?

Flu Vaccine:

Here is the latest headlines about the flu vaccines: http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/conditions/09/29/flu.vaccine.reut/index.html
Notice the last paragraph with the new recommendations for children under 2.

And now a "real" panic over not enough flu vaccines available: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/95/103102.htm

Congress has just past a bill to fund "screenings in public schools for mental illness", yet they have failed to even consider HR 4169, The Madhatter Bill, that would mandate the reduction of mercury in required childhood vaccines.
