I have been waiting for columnist Blythe Nilson, who teaches biology, to step up to the challenge of edifying the public about Thimerosol, which is included in some vaccines.
I can only surmise that both Nilson and Dr. Jeff Eppler are unaware of the scientific revelations in the documentary now on the Internet put out by the National Film Board of Canada called Shots in the dark: Silence on Vaccines.
I urge everyone to watch it. You will see and hear scientific and anecdotal evidence.  It seems we only hear "vaccines saves lives," but no evidence to back it up.
I dearly want the public to hear other experts speak to what has been happening these last few decades. This documentary is dynamite, to say the least.
I paid attention when Dr. Oz said his children don't get vaccinated, his wife won't let them. But then you see him supposedly take the flu shot on TV, but don't see anything being drawn up from any vial, just a syringe with something in it going into his arm.
Dr. Oz then audaciously tells his audience they are all getting the flu shot. No consent, no asking if they have allergies, no mention of what was in the vaccine. Dr. Horowitz called it malpractice, and I would agree.
Maybe Eppler or Nilson can tell us all why autism occurs. CDC's latest rates are one in 80 children.
At least Dr. Wakefield tried to. That "conflict of interest" issue was his delving into something that threatened the British Medical Association's funding. What chance does anyone have fighting big pharma with their trillions of dollars, their grip on you from cradle to grave, and the power to ruin reputations?
Truth is self evident, it stands alone, needs no rehearsing, no defence, no explanation, and will prevail in the end.
Didn't they recall Agriflu and Fluad because of contamination? Few, if any, who took the flu shot can tell you what viruses they are being protected against, who the manufacturer was or what Thimerosol is.
So I will tell them.
I have received many and given a few vaccines. I developed a latex allergy after my first flu shot. I know what it's like to have an anaphylactic reaction. I was also diagnosed with the London flu in 1973, so I know what sick is.
I was willing to wear a mask at work and did that first day, Dec.1, the ultimatum date. But once the mandate on masks was rescinded, the previous policy went into effect, which says when an outbreak occurs, those who did not get the vaccine cannot come in to work unless they have taken Tamiflu.
Patients have a right to refuse meds and don't get punished for it, but nursing staff do. 
Eppler says "a bit heavy handed." Well, an outbreak did occur, and I lost well over $1,000 in wages and so did a co-worker. We refused the option of Tamiflu as well. Neither of us got the flu, by the way, but some staff who took the flu shot did.
Fox News reported 100,000 elderly have died from the flu so far. They never tell you if they got the flu shot or not, which most elderly do get if they are in a nursing home.
People have a right to know what Thimerosol is so they can make an informed decision.
On the vaccine vial box, you will see the inactivated viruses listed and the word Thimerosol. Simply put, Thimerosol is an adjuvant. By definition, an adjuvant "includes substances that are added, to assist and heighten action."
These substances can include some but not necessarily all of the following: mercury, aluminum salts, formaldehyde, phenol, (used in herbicides and aspirin but also used by Nazis for injection in executions), peanut oil, latex, antibiotics (allergies anyone?), vitamin B12, benzene, squalene, ammonium sulfate, antifreeze, the list goes on and on.
But it all depends on which manufacturer includes what substances in what vaccines.  It also depends on what cultures these viruses are replicated in as well, because DNA, which is so microscopic, gets included. Was it grown in chicken embryos or diploid cells? That's why they ask you if you are allergic to eggs. Diploid cells, by the way, are human fetus cells. Yeah, those aborted fetuses go to these labs. Keep thinking.
I will now address the nasal flu mist. Let's start with masks.
We see lots of occupations using face masks so as not to inhale microorganisms and dust, like firefighters in the area of 9-11, hazmat cleaning crews, pathologists, OR staff, nuclear scientists, etc. And we cover our mouths when we cough, don't we?
So why on earth would vaccine makers come out with a flu mist that contains live viruses that you inhale up your nose?
That's as close to the blood-brain barrier as you can get.
You can shed those live viruses for up to 21 days afterward. It says so in the literature.  It defies common sense to do that!
Some nasal mists contain three viruses and some have four.
Most of us know that some viruses can remain latent and come back, like chicken pox and shingles or polio and post-polio syndrome, herpes and now the common cold (found latent in the lungs of rats).
So how do we really know if these viruses inhaled go dormant? We don't.
Manufacturers will tell you these viruses are weakened. But even weakened viruses will mutate, change their profile and gain strength.
Why would the CDC approve such a thing? Follow the money.
Considering taking Tamiflu? Please do your homework first.
Nilson insulted nurses when she said we are ignorant of basic health science. Basic health science is sanitation, good nutrition, clean water, hand washing and aseptic techniques. The science of vaccines has not explained the rise in whooping cough, polio or TB, nor autism and Guillain-Barre syndrome, both new afflictions. Meanwhile, there is media hysteria about the flu.
I cannot close and let stand her comment "but courts don't do science" without addressing it. That was surely the most incredible remark. What does she call DNA evidence, ballistics, blood spatter analysis, autopsies, footwear impressions?
Isn't that all forensic science?
