Along the most common side effect, headache, there are other 4 more life threatening side effects of the flu shots, including:
Formaldehyde
This compound is used as a preservative in the labs, but its long term effects are not completely studied. According to a study of funeral industry workers, there is a close connection between this compound and myeloid leukemia.
Octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton X-100)
It is used for detergency, wetting, metal cleaning, superior hard surface and emulsification in coatings, paints, textiles, oilfield chemicals and industrial cleaners. The studies indicate that it can cause serious damage of the reproductive system.
Thimerosal
