An article in today's Daily Mail might help you to make up your mind.

Look at Related Posts - on the right if you're on a PC, probably scroll down if using another device. This has been discussed many times, many are against the jab, many are for. It's very individual and only you can make up your mind.

It's up to you, bu there is very little evidence that it does any good at preventing flu and what most people get is not flu, but flu-like illnesses and bad colds, which it does nothing for. A study showed that about 3 people in every hundred get flu each year and that if all those people are vaccinated, about 2 people still get flu. When you see the scare mongering about flu deaths, remember that they add all the deaths from pneumonia (from whatever cause) into the stats and report them as flu.

The flu virus has already mutated by the time you receive the jab. The jab contain mercury which is a poison

Apparently these jabs do not now contain mercury but, however, do contain Pigs Gelatine

which for some people would be a no, no,

some flu vaccines do contain traces of mercury, called thimerosol which many argue are still harmful - Robert F Kennedy Junior has been fighting this battle. Aluminium is in most vaccines which is accumulating in the brain causing Alzheimer's - Dr Chris Exley from Keele University is the World's expert on aluminium and has studied many brains to report these findings - it's all frightening stuff as what we inject into bodies is way different to what we consume.

For me, no shots or like you say, jabs. Never had it and never will... money grab for big pharmas etc.
