OT: More on flu shots

[Guest guest]

QUOTE: " There's no conclusive scientific evidence that the amount of mercury

one might get from a flu shot is linked with any neurological development

outcome that's negative. " --- Jeanne Santoli, deputy director of

immunization services division for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention

 

FACT: A typical flu shot contains 50,000 parts per billion of mercury.

FACT: The EPA classifies a liquid with 200 parts per billion of mercury as

hazardous waste.

FACT: The legal " safe " limit for mercury in drinking water is 2 parts per

billion

FACT: For each flu-shot, a 22-pound baby gets more than 25 times the amount

of mercury considered safe. And doctors are recommending that many babies

and children get two flu shots this season.

FACT: A material safety data sheet from Eli Lilly and Co., a former producer

of flu vaccines, says exposure to thimerosal may include " fetal changes,

decreased offspring survival and lung tissue changes. Exposure in utero and

in children may cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe

motor coordination impairment. "
