How do you know what relationship "M" has to vaccines? We don't know what cross patent or other agreements may exist among the pharmaceutical companies.<BR/><BR/>But, of far more significance, is your unproven assertion that the form of mercury in Thimerosal is not associated with harm to children. Can you cite any source for this that are not tainted by government or pharmaceutical ties?<BR/><BR/>I further question your assertion that Thimerosal is "being removed" from vaccines.<BR/><BR/>See this series of letters to and from CDC and FDA about what the "removal" actually means.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ageofautism.com/2007/12/emails-from-cdc.html<BR/><BR/>From this exchange, I conclude that at least the flu vaccine contains 3 mcg of Thimerosal... (even the allegedly "mercury free" version) and there is no guarantee that similar "trace" amounts are not in other vaccines.<BR/><BR/>I've checked a bit to see whether the 3 mcg per vaccination is really<BR/>just a trace amount.<BR/><BR/>Here is one comment:<BR/><BR/>"Most worryingly, exposure levels were not particularly high. Hair<BR/>concentrations in the villagers averaged 4 micrograms of mercury per gram of hair. This is just a tenth of the level considered dangerous for adults by the World Health Organization, and not much higher than that found in many countries. In the US and Japan, for instance, the average mercury concentration in hair is around 1 and 2 micrograms per gram respectively."<BR/><BR/>http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-06/ns-esm061103.php<BR/><BR/>According to the New York Times on April 5, 2003,<BR/><BR/>"The Food and Drug Administration has begun using the Environmental<BR/>Protection Agency's much lower safe level for mercury in the human<BR/>body, an official of the food and drug agency said this week.<BR/><BR/>"Before the change, the F.D.A. guidelines set a safe level that was four times as high as that of the environmental agency's standard."<BR/><BR/>http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9507EFDD1538F936A35757\<BR/>C0A9659C8B63<BR/><BR/>This information suggests the FDA may still be allowing dangerous<BR/>"trace" levels of mercury in vaccines.<BR/><BR/>The email exchange with CDC and FDA certainly shows that no one in the federal government really knows. Or cares.Health Freedom of Choice Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606420362458868870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715485098888094438.post-5063215559536777212008-01-03T13:20:00.000-05:002008-01-03T13:20:00.000-05:00The facts are these. . .

Thimerosal, an ethyl (not methyl) mercurial derivative is added in small quantities to inhibit bacterial growth in vaccines which contain killed and or inactivated antigens as the main "active ingredients". Thimerosal is being removed from pediatric vaccines in order to address the numbers of parents who are refusing the vaccines and thus putting their kids at increased risk of infection without effective vaccination. . Thimerosal has NOT been associated with any increases in autism. . Please stop spreading medical rumors that can hurt us all and get back to teaching medicine backed by science.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715485098888094438.post-14367881622278293222007-12-20T15:52:00.000-05:002007-12-20T15:52:00.000-05:00As of 2006 in Iowa the use of any vaccine containi...As of 2006 in Iowa the use of any vaccine containing mercury was banned from any children’s vaccination program. Thimerosal – the source of the mercury in flu vaccines as a preservative since the 1930’s – has already been proven to the major contributing factor involved in the epidemic of autism in children anywhere it has been put to use. Hoax or not the facts remain the same so what the hell else is there to be said for the TOTAL discontinuation of its use, period?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
