[This level of fraud, corruption, and willful evil is the reason I run this site. Do NOT let anyone stick you or your child with any shot that contains mercury or thimerosal (approximately 49% ethylmercury). Just Say, “NO!” --MJ]
"Analysis of two independent government databases shows that the alarming increase in reported cases of autism not only slowed but actually reversed since thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines"
"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagreed"
"In 1999, the mercury-based preservative thimerosal was removed from most childhood vaccines as a “precautionary” measure, but vaccines were not recalled and could be used up until their expiration date, as late as 2003. The total mercury dose that children under 5 years of age could have received from childhood vaccines declined from around 240 micrograms in 1999 to nearly zero in 2003, but could now increase to nearly 60 mcg if new recommendations to require annual influenza vaccine between the ages of 2 and 5 years are followed."
"According to two databases, rates went up steadily as thimerosal dose increased, then turned around and started to decline as thimerosal was removed, “but so what, say the CDC and others who are on record (and, let’s face it, on the line) backing thimerosal to the hilt”"
"Because of an immunity provision tucked into a must-pass defense appropriations bill last Christmas, trial lawyers say it will be nearly impossible for persons injured by a vaccine to force manufacturers to compensate them. ... Some say the provision was secretly inserted into the bill after conference committee members had already voted, a procedure that is not actually illegal."
