Citizen Petition To Ban Use of Mercury in Medicine Press Release Contact: For Immediate Release CoMeD Director [Rev. Sykes (Richmond, VA) 804-364-8426] August 29, 2007 CoMeD Sci. Advisor [Dr. King (Lake Hiawatha, NJ) 973-263-4843] WASHINGTON, DC – On August 24, 2007, a grassroots group of parents and scientists, known as CoMeD (Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs), filed a comprehensive 447-plus-page "Citizen Petition"1 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). CoMeD filed this petition as a part of its efforts to protect the public from unnecessary mercury poisoning. This petition seeks to ban the addition of any mercury compound to any medicine unless that use is proven toxicologically safe. Specifically, this petition asks the FDA and/or the Department of Health and Human Services to: 1. IMMEDIATELY issue an order barring the administering of any disease-preventive Thimerosal-containing vaccine, or

other such mercury-containing pharmaceutical product, that contains more than 0.05-micrograms-per-dose levels of Thimerosal to pregnant women and children under the age of 60 months, 2. Suspend the approval or licensing of any FDA-regulated product that contains Thimerosal or any other mercury-based compounds as a preservative, or adjuvant, in the final formulation unless the total level of said compounds is not more than 0.05 micrograms of mercury per dose for vaccines and similar biological products or, for other pharmaceutical products administered more frequently, not more than 0.01 micrograms of mercury per day, 3. Issue a Class I or, failing that, a Class II recall of all batches of multi-dose vaccines that contain a Thimerosal level of more than 0.001 %, and 4. To protect public health and safety, issue orders: a. Banning vaccines and other infrequently administered biological drug products

providing more than 0.05 microgram (µg) of mercury per dose of product from being introduced into commerce in the United States and any of its territories, possessions, and commonwealths after 1 January 2008, b. Banning other drug products providing more than 0.01 µg of mercury per day from being introduced into commerce in the United States and any of its territories, possessions, and commonwealths after 1 June 2009, and c. Requiring, after 1 January 2008, the recall and destruction of ALL: i. Vaccines remaining in commerce that contain more than 0.05 µg of mercury per dose, and ii. Other drug products remaining in commerce that contain more than 0.1 µg of mercury per mL (or g) of drug, unless the manufacturer thereof can prove that the mercury-based compound in said vaccine or other drug product causes no adverse neurological health outcomes in any group or subgroup of susceptible individuals, including, but not limited to, males, fetuses, newborns, children, and adolescents. Our "Citizen Petition" petition has been assigned the FDA Public Docket identifier, "2007P-0331" and should soon be linked to, and available on, the electronic edition of this docket: http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/default.htm. 1 A "Citizen Petition" is a federally established avenue of recourse for the public to pursue a review of any aspect of the FDA’s oversight of foods, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics. By rule,

the FDA, the Agency that oversees such filings, has 180 days to respond to the petitioners’ requests. "In conclusion, vaccines are a perfect manifestation of everything that is satanic. They represent an adulterous and arrogant tampering with divine creation, based on the intellectual conceit of "perfecting" creation. They are poisonous, containing derivatives from metals such as mercury and aluminum, and from formaldehyde. They are made from the cell lines and viruses of biblically unclean animals such as monkeys, cats, etc. Worst of all, they are made from the cell lines of premeditatedly murdered children.
