CDC coverup: Thimerosal (ethylmercury) in vaccines

A medical professional had asked me: "T- many parents are being told that the current inoculations being given are mercury free. What do you know about this?"

There is much authoritative information about ethylmercury (eHg; aka "thimerosal") that remains in some but not all vaccines. Here is a summary of that information. SafeMinds was started by coauthors and colleagues of the original eHg/autism paper (1) and contains some very authoritative information, including published papers, including the paper that prompted the CDC to study and then to cover-up thimerosal's adverse effects.

.. http://www.safeminds.org Flu Vaccine 2004 Mercury Content http://www.safeminds.org/NewChart.pdf A barebones summary can be found on webpages of National Vaccine Information Center http://www.nvic.org Especially pages http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/thi-table.htm and http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/thi-table.htm#2 A general summary of Flu Vaccines, posted December 10, 2003, on NVIC website states: Contraindications for the killed flu vaccine are: fever, an impaired immune system, egg allergy, mercury allergy or a history of Guillain Barre syndrome. In the past, pregnancy was a contraindication but now the CDC recommends flu vaccine for women more than 14 weeks pregnant. However this recommendation is controversial since most flu vaccines still contain the mercury preservative, Thimerosal, and mercury has been associated with brain damage and developmental delays in fetuses whose mothers were exposed to high levels of mercury during pregnancy. http://www.nvic.org/PressReleases/prfluvaccine.htm Regarding thimerosal's adverse effects and the cover-up, see Letter to the CDC from Congressman Dave Weldon, MD,(R-FL) http://www.house.gov/weldon/issues/autism/pdf Contemplate a specific finding by a prominent data analyst: "Mark Geier, M.D., Ph.D., is president of the Genetic Centers of America. He and his son, David Geier, president of Medcon Inc., are consultants on vaccine cases. David Geier tells Insight, "What happened here is Dr. Verstraeten goes to the Institute of Medicine [iOM] and says that he looked at it in one California HMO and it was statistical and he saw the effect, and then he did it in another California HMO and it was statistical and he saw the effect, then he went to Harvard Pilgrim HMO and he didn't see the effect. The IOM said it's biologically plausible, but the epidemiology is mixed and therefore we're not sure." "In my opinion," explains Mark Geier, "if they had seen clear epidemiology they would have recommended the immediate removal of thimerosal and hundreds of children would have been saved. But Verstraeten went to the one state in the country where the percentage of autism was the lowest. According to the U.S. Department of Education the average increase in autism was 400 percent, and every state in the union had at least a 100 percent increase. But Harvard Pilgrim had just a 10 percent increase." "We went to Atlanta," he continues, "to the CDC, and looked at the VSD [Vaccine Safety Data] data. There is thimerosal-containing DTaP [diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine] and thimerosal-free DTaP, so we asked a question: Among children that got a minimum of either three consecutive thimerosal-containing DTaPs or three consecutive thimerosal-free DTaPs, was there a difference in the number of autism cases in the two groups? We found mega differences. More than 20 times higher. The rate of autism in the children that got more than three doses of thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccines was much, much higher. Almost all the children that have autism in that group were the ones that got the thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccine. The more thimerosal the greater the cases of autism." --O'Meara KP. CDC Study Raises Level of Suspicion. http://www.insightmag.com/news/573542.html Parents are advised, when in the room with the shot-giver, to ask to look at the vaccine bottle and its insert and package. Don't just take the doc's or nurse's spoken-word as gospel. Read the labels. If "thimerosal" is stated, request a different vaccine. Teresa Binstock Researcher in Developmental & Behavioral Neuroanatomy 1: Med Hypotheses. 2001 Apr;56(4):462-71. Autism: a novel form of mercury poisoning. Bernard S, Enayati A, Redwood L, Roger H, Binstock T. Autism is a syndrome characterized by impairments in social relatedness and communication, repetitive behaviors, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that autism may affect 1 in 150 US children. Exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with autism, and the similarities extend to neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry. Thimerosal, a preservative added to many vaccines, has become a major source of mercury in children who, within their first two years, may have received a quantity of mercury that exceeds safety guidelines. A review of medical literature and US government data suggests that: (i) many cases of idiopathic autism are induced by early mercury exposure from thimerosal; (ii) this type of autism represents an unrecognized mercurial syndrome; and (iii) genetic and non-genetic factors establish a predisposition whereby thimerosal's adverse effects occur only in some children.
