The biggest issue I have with vaccines today is that they and their constituent parts are manufactured in China and India. And the FDA has stated several times it isn’t responsible for inspecting all or even any of those ingredients/vaccines prior to their being used on the citizenry.
Moreover, the vaccine manufacturers are indemnified completely from any ill effects of vaccines. So they aren’t going to be testing those lots either.
Who the hell knows what was in this years flu vaccine besides the necessary ingredients. Or even IF the necessary ingredients were in there...
That, we agree. Quality of those made overseas is a problem.
