My wife is a nurse and used to get the seasonal flu shots. She's the first in her family ever to get rheumatoid arthritis, of which squalene is a known cause. Needless to say, the consequent steady dose of methotrexate is no blessing and carries its own risks.

Sorry for her rheumatoid arthritis.

My main goal with this specific topic is to encourage people to do some independent research before they authorize any treatments / drugs to themselves or their kids.

Not just with flu but also with any other health situation : As we know, it is best to have serious / detailed discussions / second opinions before letting a surgeon grab a knife.
