Study: Childhood Vaccines Exceed Federal Guidelines for Mercury & Link with Neurological Disorders & Heart Disease in Children
Complete Ban Could Prevent Autism, Speech Disorders
>>>"In light of voluminous literature supporting the biologic mechanisms for mercury-induced adverse reactions, the presence of amounts of mercury in thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines exceeding Federal Safety Guidelines for the oral ingestion of mercury, and previous epidemiological studies showing adverse reactions to such vaccines, a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease appears to be confirmed," <<<

Regarding Thimerosal STILL being in our childrens vaccines....(Cut and pasted directly from the article)
We have recently reviewed the 2003 US
Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) and
found that some childhood vaccines still
contain thimerosal. DTaP manufactured by
Aventis Pasteur contains 25µg of mercury,
b (Hib) vaccine
manufactured by Wyeth contains 25 µg of
mercury, and pediatric hepatitis B vaccine
manufactured by Merck contains 12.5 µg of
mercury. In addition, influenza vaccine
that is recommended for an increasing
segment of the pediatric population in the
US also contains 25 µg of mercury.
Therefore, it is indeed possible that children
in the US in 2003 may be exposed to levels
of mercury from thimerosal contained in
their childhood vaccinations that are at a
higher level than at any time in the past.
Possible total childhood mercury in 2003 is
more than 300 µg.
Regarding the use of multiple vaccine combinations. (Which are becoming more and more common).....
Because of the data implicating
thimerosal levels with increasing rates of
autism, speech disorders, and heart disease,
it would seem prudent to completely
remove thimerosal from all childhood
vaccines immediately. The use of single-
dose vials would alleviate the need for any
preservative in the vaccines.
