I tried googling and failed. Maybe one of you know? Is it more or less? And by how much?

flu shots are a government conspiracy to put mercury into our bodies. they suck out all the mercury from fish and put it into the shots. they take the all the mercury from about 15 different fish to put into a single flu shot. this is, of course, in preparation for the government controlled culling of the human race and the eventual move of the master race to the planet mercury.

The quantity is less important than the type. The preservative in a flu shot breaks down into ethyl mercury, which the body can process much more readily than the methyl mercury that is typically found in fish.

Sadly that makes about as much sense as most conspiracy theories around vaccines.

Most flu shots don't use thimerosal anymore, so none. For those that do, the mercury in thimerosal is in an ionic form that's far, far safer than the elemental mercury people are concerned about in fish (to illustrate the difference, elemental sodium bursts into flame on contact with water, ionic sodium is part of table salt and is essential for nervous system function).

i just read some where on the interent flu shots and h1n1 shots have 25 gram of mercury.

i doubt that is true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_in_fish

so tuna has .32 part per million of mercury. you will need to eat 78,000,000 grams of tuna get to 25 grams of mercury.

78,000,000 is 2.75 ounces.

Flu shots don't even weigh 25 grams.

78 million grams is 78,000 kilograms, or about 170,000 lbs. I have absolutely no idea where you got 2.75 ounces.

25 micrograms is the number I've seen quoted, although never linked to an actual source. 25 grams would be more than a whole dose of the vaccine weighs, probably even if you included the weight of the syringe.

It would be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2.75 million ounces, so maybe that's what he was going for.
