[kyleman]

This looks like a commercial from the year 2029.

[arto]

I wonder how many years this took to render?

[oreed]

Did not explain specifically what’s in it.

[PeaceNinja]

I’ve never taken a flu shot in my entire pathetic life. And I rarely get the flu. Maybe like once every 3 years and colds like once a year.

[tinavegas]

Look at the incerts, you left important ingredients out. JS !

[drewjenn]

I'm shocked that I'm the only one here in over a year.

[ciscogomezify]

My uncle is a swiss doctor (65 years old).
He takes Flu shots each year, and yet he gets the Flu 5-6 times per year....explain that pls...

[sirflexxx]

Geez. Please don't make these animations. They're too good. I literally can't take it.

[DuartChannel]

Lovely video but many people get sick from the flu shot. It makes no sense.

[sailormoon]

Why they keep pushing people to get it????

[spyro]

based on the comments below and the video, its like as if though its better to be naturally sick than get injected with something that will put you at risk.

[willfulltruth]

So either our body learns to recognize formaldehyde or already exists?
Or it’s such a small amount that our body won’t even notice? Which is it

[Shawlings]

I get vaccines and all but my family doesn't do flu shots

[paulbruto]

What about the Mercury and formaldehyde all castigine to cause cancer

[GlazedBooger]
