An\u00a0online influencer<\/a> thinks that the answer has to do with \u201cpoison.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]The article linked to the Tweet explains exactly why you feel sick after the flu and COVID vaccines, and the answer is not poison.<\/p>\n

Why do you feel sick after the flu vaccine vaccines? The flu vaccine works because it stimulates your immune system by tricking it into thinking you\u2019ve been exposed to the actual influenza virus. When that happens, your immune system reacts by creating inflammation, which can cause things like headaches, body aches, and fever. Some vaccines, like flu and COVID, are\u00a0reactogenic<\/a>\u00a0and have a higher chance of causing this than others. Really, it\u2019s just your\u00a0immune system<\/a>\u00a0at work.<\/p>\n

But what about the poison? The\u00a0ingredients<\/a>\u00a0of the flu vaccines are often misunderstood, but they are not poisoning people. One ingredient that gets a lot of attention is\u00a0thimerosal<\/a>, which is still found in some flu vaccines. Often, people hear \u201cmercury\u201d and think of the kind of toxic mercury you are warned about when eating fish, methylmercury, but thimerosal is made from a completely different compound with different properties. This type of mercury is called ethylmercury, which breaks down relatively quickly and is excreted from the body.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
