Author Ellener Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 1 hour ago, LeniA said: Left out formaldehyde and deadly strains of the flu are two of them No the article talks about them: Vaccines contain a very small amount of an active ingredient, just a few micrograms (millionths of a gram) per vaccine. For vaccines that are approved for use in humans, the active ingredient is either the whole bacteria or virus, which has been killed (inactivated) or greatly weakened (attenuated), or broken-down parts of the bacteria or virus (subunit). A new type of vaccine is made from genetic material (DNA or RNA) that contains information for the body to produce small amounts of the antigen protein at the site of injection. Vaccines in development against COVID-19 are exploring all types of active ingredient delivery methods, but the most common type are RNA vaccines. The virus used in the inactivated flu vaccine is grown in fertilised chicken eggs, therefore the vaccine may contain traces of egg protein. Although the content is very low, this vaccine is not recommended for those with an egg allergy.Formaldehyde is used in the production of some vaccines, such as the Hepatitis B vaccine, to inactivate or kill the toxins from the bacteria or virus. Formaldehyde is naturally found in many foods and in your body, where it is produced as part of your metabolic process. The trace amount of formaldehyde in a vaccine is fifty times smaller than that found in an apple. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Haven't had a needle in me since before Kennedy got a bullet in the head so no sense in changing what works. Most virulent virus years were those when wife brought home all kinds of viruses from her salon and daily contact with the public; still, maybe one flu if that in over a decade. Else, can't recall ever. Colds, plenty, though most ended 30-some years ago moving away from town and humans. IMO, it's like the -19 thing, experience varies widely so one should make decisions best for their own circumstances in concert with their doctor as applicable. Link to post Share on other sites
