Thimerosal Vindicated as Cause of Autism: More Questions and Still No
Answers
January 8, 2008
With yet another epidemiological study reeking with conflicts of interest,
thimerosal containing vaccines are declared safe by the immunization branch
of the California Department of Public Health. Unfortunately,
epidemiological studies done by people who are part of the immunization
program have a major credibility problem. This of course does not stop the
mainstream press from hopping all over these studies without even thinking
of asking any questions.

The study claims that "some" flu shots still contain thimerosal. Actually,
out of 132 million doses of flu vaccine for the 2007-08 flu season, 8
million doses are thimerosal free. That means 94% contain the full amount of
thimerosal. Stating that "some" contain thimerosal is a very deceptive
statement at best.

Critics will say that California has banned thimerosal containing flu shots
for pregnant women and infants. This ban took effect in 2006. Last year they
lifted the ban because they could not find an adequate supply of thimerosal
free shots. If a pregnant woman got a flu shot in 2001 and her child
followed the flu shot recommendations, the baby/fetus would have received
six flu shots with the full amount of thimerosal by the year 2005. This
hardly represents the claim that no thimerosal containing vaccines were
given after 2001. Besides, with no government agency testing vaccines for
mercury, who really knows if mercury has been removed from vaccines.

Vaccines with "trace" amounts of thimerosal are supposed to contain less
than 1 microgram of mercury per 0.5 ml dose. This is equal to a
concentration of 2000 micrograms per liter. When looked at this way, this
hardly seems like a "trace" amount of mercury.

We constantly hear that rates of autism have increased due to earlier
intervention, changes in diagnostic criteria and diagnostic substitution.
Were these co-factors considered? Have rates of autism in California really
continued to climb? They can't have it both ways.

Before we declare thimerosal containing vaccines safe, consider these
numbers:

0.5 parts per billion (ppb) mercury = Kills human neuroblastoma cells
(Parran et al., Toxicol Sci 2005; 86: 132-140).

Again Studies about Vaccines and Thimerosal are misleading

When will these authors of studies stop claiming that all but a few vaccines
contain the mercury additive Thimerosal? 80% of all flu vaccines contain
this preservative. As of June in 2005 many other vaccines that are
recommended for children still contained normal or trace amounts of
Thimerosal. Many mothers and children still had mercury amalgams. Some foods
such as Tuna contain mercury. We still eat and breath this highly toxic
substance. When you include the many other chemicals and heavy metals that
have been found to cause developmental delays that are in fact on the
increase it's not to hard to figure out why numbers have not dropped.
There are many questions about this latest study from the California State
Public Health Department that remain unanswered. What are the ages? Are they
including all ASD disorders or just regressive Autism? Why do they still
falsely claim that Thimerosal is not in any other vaccine and only some Flu
vaccines? This statement just is simply not true. And why isn't there an age
criteria for diagnoses such as five years old when school aged children can
be truly observed on a daily basis? And when using this age it shows that
what little reduction there is in the use of thimerosal these children still
fall under the excessive amount.

Are they finding these infants up to let's say 3 years old unable to
interact with their peers? Do these youngsters show signs of learning
disabilities? C'mon you can't claim that mercury in any form is safe and
with increased exposures of this toxin combined with others you will find
that the numbers will remain or climb. This is being touted as a disorder
that is untreatable and unavoidable. And that is sad as the medical
community claims success in many other diseases and disorders.

You can't mark mercury off the list as its toxic strength is much too
strong. We are still hearing about lead that was banned 20 plus years ago as
we find it everywhere. Mercury was used in paint also but that is rarely
mentioned. The fact is it was used in kitchen and bathroom paints along with
other areas susceptible to mold. We scream if products from China contain
lead but buy food and are told to use lights that contain mercury.

Of course we are seeing genetic mutations you always do when there are
poisonings going on. We are witnessing children hitting puberty at younger
ages, Obesity, Diabetes II, Heart Disease and many psychological and
neurological disorders are on the increase along with Autism or ASD, ADD
included. To give Thimerosal a no contribution label is not only dangerous
but criminal when you look at what role mercury has played with those
exposed to it over the years.

We need to put a stop to this continuous claim that mercury in any form is
somehow safe when it has been known for hundreds of years to be very
dangerous and even lethal. Why did the Romans only use slaves to mine for
it? Why does the manufacturer of the specific compound Thimerosal warn of
its toxicity? Why was it banned in most applications except as a vaccine
preservative injected directly into our blood stream? Why is it still being
used in any vaccine and during the manufacture of other vaccines? And why do
upwards of 85% of those tested that suffer from ASD show marked spikes when
chelating heavy metals for mercury? Still too many questions abound with no
serious answers that the powers that be except.

When they "removed" the thimerisol from the vaccines...I noticed that there
was no recall of those vaccines--that would have admitted wrongdoing and
opened up companies for lawsuits.

No, what happened was that companies stopped putting thimerisol in *new*
doses of vaccines...but they did not remove it from *existing* supplies....

I wonder.....how many thousands--perhaps millions--of doses were already
sitting on shelves, waiting to be adminsitered?

I wonder--could *that* be why the rates were unchanged?

The word you didn't know was "molecules" and, your hypothesis is

Nope.  You're building on a false assumption and are neglecting the
amount excreted.
