(0.24 seconds) http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/thimerosalqa.htm Infectious Diseases (NIAID); The American Academy of Pediatrics; and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure and to reduce exposure to mercury from all sources. This decision was based on the various Federal guidelines for methyl mercury exposure and the assumption that the health risks from methyl and ethyl mercury were the same. More research is needed to determine if the guidelines for methyl mercury are also appropriate guidelines for thimerosal. NIAID thimerosal research focuses on better understanding what happens to thimerosal once it is introduced in the body and how this compares to current knowledge of methyl mercury pathways. http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news473.html Thursday July 8 5:49 PM ET Mercury to be removed from vaccines NEW YORK, Jul 08 (Reuters Health) -- The US Public Health Service (PHS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have asked vaccine manufacturers to phase out a mercury-containing preservative that has been used in some vaccines since the 1940s. The preservative, thimerosal, has not been shown to harm children, but some infants under age 6 months may be exposed to mercury levels in excess of federal guidelines with the current recommended immunization schedule. However, ``children who have received thimerosal-containing vaccines do not need to be tested for mercury exposure,'' according to a joint AAP/PHS statement. Health officials advise parents to continue their children's immunization programs, because the risk of not immunizing children far outweighs the small risk posed by thimerosal. ``Terrible childhood diseases like whooping cough, bacterial meningitis, polio and diphtheria are waiting for us to let our guard down,'' according to a statement issued by Dr. David Satcher, the US. Surgeon General. ``The risk of devastating childhood diseases from failure to vaccinate far outweighs the minimal, if any, risk of exposure to cumulative levels of mercury in vaccines.'' The joint AAP/PHS statement on thimerosal in vaccines appears in the July 9th Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), the weekly publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Stories from the MMWR are available at the CDC website, www.cdc.gov. The report's authors note that European regulatory community reached similar conclusions earlier this year. In a statement, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) note that while there is currently ``no clinical evidence that the use of thimerosal has caused adverse health consequences, there is general consensus that it would be preferable to eliminate thimerosal from vaccines whenever possible. The vaccine industry is working closely with FDA and other government agencies to meet this objective.'' http://www.vaccinationnews.com/DailyNews/2003/June/10/ENewsSafeMindsR...

It can be accessed at http://www.cispimmunize.org/pro/pdf/Geiersummary.pdf . ------------------------------------------- Safe Minds Commentary on AAP Critique of Geier & Geier Thimerosal Paper The American Academy of Pediatrics negative response to the Geier & Geier article linking thimerosal in DTPs to autism and speech disorders (http://www.cispimmunize.org/pro/pdf/Geiersummary.pdf) is not surprising given the AAP's central role in promoting childhood immunizations. In an effort to clear thimerosal in vaccines of any role in neurodevelopmental disorders when studies establishing thimerosal's safety do not exist, the AAP relies on a number of distortions and inaccuracies. Many points made in the response would need to be answered by Drs. Geier & Geier, but several should be addressed immediately. (a) The AAP paper asserts that the VAERS data base is only valid for hypothesis generation. If so, then at the very least the Geiers' paper should be viewed by the AAP as advancing a strong hypothesis. If they were truly unbiased, the AAP should be asking for follow up controlled trials to be initiated immediately to see if the hypothesis is true rather than dismissing it out of hand. Moreover, it is the AAP's own members who do such a poor job of reporting adverse events to VAERS. If the AAP were sincerely interested in vaccine safety investigations, they could improve the quality of VAERS dramatically by requiring their members to report. (b) The AAP paper says (Note: neither the original preliminary VSD study of thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders nor any of the follow-up expanded studies identified a signal indicating any association between thimerosal and autism.) This is simply not true. The first VSD analysis gave a relative risk for autism of 2.48. The VSD thimerosal study protocol, written by the authors before results were in, clearly states that a RR higher than 2.0, even if not statistically significant, constitutes a signal which should be investigated in a phase II study that would confirm or not confirm the association. This phase II study has never been initiated by CDC. In fact, there are no expanded VSD studies - the CDC merely divided up the data sets from the HMOs studied, which resulted in insufficient numbers of cases to reach statistical significance for any given HMO. (c) The AAP says: Research to date involving refined, controlled studies in large populations of patients has failed to demonstrate any association between vaccines that may have used thimerosal as a preservative and neurodevelopmental disorders including autism. Again, this statement is false. There are no large controlled studies which have investigated thimerosal and developmental disorders. (The VSD analysis was a retrospective cohort study.) (d) The AAP critique explains that any study on this topic must be published in respected and widely read journals because of the great general interest today in vaccine safety. Yet they go on to cite the recently published review by Nelson and Bauman in their own newsletter which they assert casts doubt on the biologic plausibility of symptom similarities between mercury poisoning and autism. The Nelson and Bauman commentary was an invited article and was not subjected to peer review. (e) In what appears to be a Freudian slip, the AAP says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, National Institutes of Health, and US Public Health Service have continued to investigate this issue to put theoretic concerns about this mercury-containing compound to rest. It is hoped that these agencies would be investigating this issue to find out the truth, not to lay the issue to rest. The fact that these agencies have every reason to conduct research with a hidden agenda is the reason why investigations of thimerosal and vaccine safety need to be conducted by unbiased researchers with no conflicts of interest. (f) The AAP does admit that Comparing the occurrence of late onset, chronic conditions like autism by using acute vaccine reactions like fever, pain, and vomiting...as controls makes no sense as a measure of relative adverse event rates. Given that late onset, chronic conditions are very different from immediate, acute ones, perhaps the AAP could voice support for requiring vaccine safety trials by manufacturers to extend beyond the current practice of 60 days and to include monitoring of chronic conditions. Then parents might have more confidence in the never-ending assurances by the public health authorities that vaccines are indeed safe.

Their statement is false. Following are some of the scientific studies that demonstrate thimerosal, a mercury-containing substance that is used as a preservative, to be harmful and to be a highly probably causal factor in autism. Note that these studies are consistently ignored in the medical establishments publications claiming that there is no evidence for vaccine-caused autism.

In a recent communication with Congressman Dr. Weldon, CDC conceded that some of the routinely recommended vaccines contained the full amount of thimerosal (25 mcg) as late as 2003. Those are not to expire until towards the end of 2005. There is no existing reason to believe that manufactures have it in mind to completely remove thimerosal from childhood vaccines in the near future. Much to my alarm, documents recently obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO)state that their policy is to lobby strongly for maintaining thimerosal in vaccines as they see it necessary to use childhood vaccines in third world countries. The mentality is that if thimerosal is taken out of American childhood vaccines, the third world countries will not accept thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines. This seems to be a clear disturbing indication that, for whatever reason, WHO desires to inoculate third world country populations with thimerosal containing vaccines. This is an agency that claims to have an interest in making sure that children in developing countries have the best opportunities at life. How is that possible when they are being deliberately poisoned with high concentrations of a neurotoxins? There exists many decades worth of peer-reviewed literature (literally hundreds) on the dangers of thimerosal which include case-reports, animal studies, tissues culture studies, genetic studies, toxicology studies, and biochemical studies. According to the above article, CDC, HHS and AAP warns that 1/166 children have autistic spectrum disorders and even more alarming, 1/6 children have developmental and or behavioral disorders. The World Health Organization's (WHO) Expert Committee on Biological Standardization acknowledges that thimerosal is essential during vaccine production to inactivate certain pathogenic organisms and toxins and prevent microbial growth during vaccine storage and use. (click here to view document). Read the Eli Lilly's, manufacturer of thimerosal, safety data sheet on thimerosal. According to this document, thimerosal will react with strong oxidizing agents and one listed is peroxides. Another vaccine component. Also listed are the effects, including signs and symptoms of exposure such as topical allergic dermatitis, topical hypersensitivity reactions. Early signs of mercury poisoning are noted as nervous system effects which include narrowing of the visual field and numbness in the extremities. "Exposure to mercury in utero and in children can cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination's impairment". Primary routes of entry are listed as inhalation and skin contact. For shipping information, there's no question of the label: POISONS accompanied by the skull and bones picture label. Mercury over stimulates the brain's immune system. Over stimulation of the brain results in activation of the microglia widely dispersed in the brain. When the microglia are activated, they release toxins killing surrounding brains cells. Prolonged stimulation of the microglia by too many vaccines kills far too many brain cells. Though, some may find the reasoning of this imitation form of immunization to make sense and logic, studying the peer review, lab work and studies conducting the safety of such the practice will encourage you to think twice. The dangers of inoculating children and adults with vile microorganisms is potentially fatal. World Health Organization is privy to this information. Other material indicate they know that more children would die and or die quicker without the thimerosal. Sounds insane, but a fact worth keeping in mind and or researching on your own. So, in order to inactivate these microorganisms something even more toxic is needed to do just that. That's where the thimerosal comes in. These facts alone should raise a few eyebrows. Remember, in the records of mercury toxicology, it only takes 35 mcg to kill a rabbit. Now, think about how much is in each vaccine. There's 25mcg in Hib, Pneumococcal (except for Prevnar), DTaP, all Tetanus brands. Then there's 12.5 in the Hep b. How much thimerosal is needed should be your other indicator of the dangers of vaccines. The next indicator is how many doses children receive by school registration. It's one Russian roulette game after another to keep the big bucks packing into the pockets of the big dogs. > > > In > >> fact, kids get more mercury, in a more harmful form (methylmercury) from > >> eating fish.
