Vaccines - The
Emperor Has No Clothes...
Opinion by Consumer Advocate
Tim
Bolen
Friday, August 26th, 2011
On Thursday, August 18th, 2011, a meeting was held
in Washington, DC hosted by John Thompson -
Deputy Director, Office of Environmental Policy,
U.S. Department of State. It was very
eventful.
The fact that the meeting
happened at all cascaded shock waves through the
vaccine promotional community. Why?
Because the reality of this meeting, and where the
vaccine situation is heading, shows that the
carefully contrived world of vaccine promotion is
crumbling - and, hopefully, it will never recover.
The official reason for the
meeting, called a "US State Department Listening Meeting" was
primarily about the
presentation of several NGOs (Non Government
Organizations) each of whom have a seat at the
United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) on
mercury in the environment, alongside the US
State Department.
Those NGOs take a completely
different position, in fact in total
opposition, to certain official US government
agencies, and pharmaceutical trade groups, on the issue
being addressed at the UN meeting - mercury in the
world environment.
The four groups (NGOs) were speaking
on two separate aspects of the issues surrounding
the removal of mercury in medicine: (1)
mercury in vaccines: represented by the
Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD),
and SafeMinds,
(2) and mercury amalgam dental fillings:
represented by the International
Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT),
and Consumers
for Dental Choice.
The NGOs had the science.
The opposition sort of remembered to come to the meeting.
There was some opposition talk from
"Industry Representatives" who, apparently were
working from the same cue card. The American
Dental Association's speaker harrumph-mumbled
something about
"The State Department should
leave this to the scientists, harrumph, mumble, argh,
mumble, harrumph..."
You know - the
usual ADA rhetoric. Then someone from one of
the vaccine manufacturer groups apparently picked up
the cue card the ADA rep dropped and read the
statement all over again - sans the
harrumph-mumbling.
Why was this meeting such a
shock? Simply, because the world of vaccines,
in the United States, is a construction - an
incestuous relationship between the vaccine industry
and our own government. It all works against,
not only the American people, but the whole world. With the US State Department
entering the picture, as the official representative
of the US government to the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
to
remove mercury from Planet Earth's environment, the
whole vaccine house of cards has been exposed to the
morning breeze - like someone opening a window and
letting in a breath of fresh air. Suddenly,
for the vaccine world - all the rules have changed.
Government agencies, and their
employees, do not react well to change. The
old story "If you were to throw a government
employee out of a forty story window they would take
two-and-a-half-weeks to hit the ground - and they'd
generate a truck full of paperwork on the way down,"
circulates because there is truth in the analogy.
Why is
this important to this discussion?
Because the US vaccine
construction is in shock and has not been able to
digest the fact that there is, or even could be,
"oversight" on their activities. This United
Nations conference on mercury will end in a
treaty
between nations. Once the US signs the
treaty the rules agreed to will become the law
of the land in the US.
Yup - the law of the land, not
only in the US, but in every country that signs that
treaty
on Planet Earth.
What's at stake here is the fact
that the issue described below would be dealt with
on a world scale - and Big Pharma has been
looking at the vaccine portion of their business as
their financial recovery module - since most of
their patents on their big money-makers have run out
this year and next.
After a massive uproar,
beginning in roughly the year 2000, and continuing
through 2004, the US branch of the vaccine industry
began to offer, in the US and Canada ONLY,
childhood vaccines without Thimerosal.
This affected only the four million (4,000,000)
children born each year in those two countries of
North America. ALL other countries' newborn, estimated at one hundred million
(100,000,000) children get Thimerosal-packed,
deadly-mercurized, puss-encrusted,
God-only-knows-where-they-are-made,
so-called-vaccines.
In the 1990s, in the US and
Canada, and the rest of the world then and now,
newborns, received, during the first eighteen months of life,
a total of 237.5 micrograms of deadly-mercury, in
the form of Thimerosal, included as a preservative
(cringe here) in the childhood vaccines injected
into our children..
It is VERY important to note
that Thimerosal has NEVER been removed from flu
shots. You get, each time, the FULL 25
micrograms of deadly-mercury.
So
what was the vaccine construction's response to this
threat from the United Nations Treaty?
So, considering the "forty
story window" joke, what do you suppose the "US
vaccine construction" came up with to try and
re-assert its authority? (Begin to smile
here).
An un-signed "position paper, "
magically appeared on the UN website
announcing itself to be "The Position of the
United States of America on Thimerosal in Vaccines."
The paper, titled "Scientific
Information Regarding the Use of Thimerosal As a
Preservative in Vaccines" was a thirteen
page, unsigned, from NO AGENCY, pile of lies and
misdirection. It was so poorly done it was
funny.
Below, I will detail my claim,
but first, understand that this "position paper"
will become a touchstone for the anti-vaccination
movement. You'll see why I say that, shortly.
There were twenty-two (22) major lies and
misstatements we found in just a casual examination.
Twenty-two (22) lies and
misstatements in just thirteen (13) pages - three
pages of which were so-called references.
Questions, of course, were
asked, at the State Department meeting, about this
unsigned position paper like "who wrote this
crap?" and "where's the science?"
The only response was from State Department Deputy Director John
Thompson himself, where he claimed "I saw it but
I didn't read it. It was put together by a
bunch of us..." More to come on that
position paper. You can read the unsigned
original by clicking
here.
The
"unsigned" position paper...
Just think - the US government,
in its infinite wisdom, can forward an official
position of the United States to the United Nations
with no one's, and no department's, name on it, no
bibliography, no evidence of any meetings or
discussions, etc. After reading the paper it
becomes obvious why no one would sign it, claiming
ownership.
Why did they do that?
Because all those pages were leading up to one
simple statement:
Conclusion - In summary, licensed vaccines
containing thimerosal preservative have been
determined to be safe and effective under the
applicable U.S. statutory and regulatory
requirements and therefore are approved for use in
the United States.
In the text the statement was
made that "there are no replacement preservatives
available." Oh yeah? - So what was in all those
vaccines in the US where Thimerosal was removed?
Prepare to laugh, ruefully.
Remember the title to this article, way up above
there "Vaccines - The
Emperor Has No Clothes..." Well, we
are at the part where I explain what I meant by
that.
The
Vaccine Emperor...
In the meeting at the State
Department,
sitting off to one side, was a man no one ever hears
about, or talks about. His name is Bruce Gellin MD, MPH and his official title is "Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Health - Director of the
National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO)." In
short, he is the Vaccine Emperor in the
United States of America. I have no doubt that
this man was the author of this so-called "position
paper" - and what it says about him is very
important to know. Be VERY worried that this
guy is in charge of our vaccine program. I'll
explain why, shortly.
In my
last article I said:
History shows us, quite
clearly, that the "authority" figures in each
medical science period, for the most part, were the
biggest of fools, the most pompous of idiots, and
the worst possible people to direct health care.
For some reason, consistently, scum rises to the
surface in our official health care systems.
So, why should we, here in
2011 think things should be any different? Why
should we think that, somehow, health care could, or
would, be dominated by thinking individuals who ask
the proper questions, and find solutions. Nah,
that's what we have bureaucracies like the FDA, and
the CDC, for. Society seems to demand that we
set up systems (agencies) to do things the dumbest
way possible. Of course, the FDA and the CDC
excel at that. Lawrence J. Peter said it best
with his Peter Principle- "in a hierarchy every
employee tends to rise to his level of
incompetence".
Peter also
said "Bureaucracy
defends the status quo long past the time when the
quo has lost its status."
This guy, Bruce Gellin MD MPH,
the "Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Health - Director of the
National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO)" the Vaccine Emperor
in the United States of America, has NO CLUE,
what-so-ever, about the reality of vaccines.
Be very, very, worried. Why? Because
Gellin is currently applying his complete lack of
knowledge to inventing, and forcing on an
unsuspecting American Public, a new "Vaccine Plan,"
replacing the Vaccine Plan of 1994. The new plan,
which I will do a separate article about, is
designed to make Big Pharma far richer than they are
now, and will replace, quite easily, Big Pharma's
financial losses over the current patents ending in
2011 and 2011.
In short, Gellin's new "Vaccine
Plan" will increase vaccines a thousand-fold in the
US, most of which, if not all, will be MANDATORY -
and not just for children, but for seniors, and just
about everyone. And, their will be no
liability for any of these vaccines for Big Pharma.
More, the Public Health Service will replace Big
Pharma's sales force.
February 16,
2011 - The U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services today unveiled a new
National Vaccine Plan to enhance coordination of all
aspects of federal vaccine and immunization
activities. Its goal is to ensure that all Americans
can access the preventive benefits of vaccines.
The plan is a
wide-ranging guide to innovating the nation’s
vaccine system. It addresses such issues as research
and development, supply, financing, distribution,
safety, global cooperation, and informed
decision-making among consumers and health care
providers.
This is the first
update of the National Vaccine Plan since the
original version in 1994...
“This plan is a
10-year vision for the nation to more effectively
prevent infectious diseases and reduce adverse
reactions to vaccines,” said Director of the
National Vaccine Program Office and Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Health Bruce Gellin, M.D., M.P.H. “The
plan is national in scope. Implementation will
require a well-organized effort among stakeholders,
including federal, state and local policymakers,
health care providers, manufacturers, academia,
philanthropic organizations, and the public.”
Next steps include
a series of regional meetings with stakeholders in
the spring and summer of 2011, which will focus on
how to implement the strategies laid out in the
National Vaccine Plan. The final implementation plan
will be completed by the end of 2011.
Big Pharma will almost be
able to print their own money: (1)
No research costs, (2) No irksome "Approvals"
required, (3) Their production costs for vaccines
will be nil - as the vaccines will no doubt be
produced in a sewer in Bengladesh, (4) No
sales force - local Public Health officials will
handle the "marketing," (5) but best of all for them
- no product liability, as every vaccine will be
subject to the rules of the US Vaccine Court
procedures.
However, the United Nations
invited four NGOs listed above to come to a meeting
last January 2011, and there the "Vaccine
Construction" got put in their place - and they are
not used to that happening, and they do not like it.
What
happened during the "Listening Meeting..."
Lisa Sykes, the President of
CoMeD, attended the State Department "Listening
Meeting" along with Mark Geier MD, and David Geier -
all on behalf of CoMeD, which has an NGO seat at the
UN Conference.
Understand that there were
three other NGO groups there - I will tell you those
stories later.
Here, below, is what Lisa says
about the meeting. You will find this not only
interesting, but very revealing:
Dr. Geier made the first statement for CoMeD, in
part a response to the ADA that wants to keep
amalgam and wants medicinal products eliminated from
the treaty. Dr. Geier stated that the purpose of
protecting the environment from mercury was
ultimately because we fear environmental mercury
impacting humans once it is methylated.
Dr. Geier then referenced the factual errors in the
State Dept. document, which asserted that Thimerosal
was safe and effective, and that 2 phenoxyethanol
was experimental.
Dr. Geier then asserted that such gross errors,
published when the US is reducing mercury in
vaccines and other drugs, leads developing nations
to believe there is a double standard in vaccine
safety in which developing countries are given
mercury-containing while developed countries opt for
mercury-free and mercury-reduced.
I
then spoke, and began by asking, why the document
filed had no name and no agency listed on it. It
was for all practical purposes anonymous.
State reps seemed surprised. I recalled the
previous studies provided to State prior to INC2 in
Japan. I reminded the reps from State how we had
provided requested information on 2 phenoxyethanol
as a much safe less toxic alternative. I was bold
to say that the document submitted by State was
“unacceptable.” Dr. Thompson admitted that he had
simply posted it without necessarily understanding
it.
I
briefly recounted this history of Thimerosal:
developed in 1927, put in vaccines in the 1930’s,
defended by HHS and its subordinate agencies for 70
years despite published scientific calls for its
removal since the 1940’s. I also noted that it is
illegal to put Thimerosal on your skin as a topical,
it is so toxic. Who would say it was safe for
injection into pregnant women and children when it
is so toxic that it is illegal to put on anyone’s
skin?
I
then asked why the State Dept, that bears no
liability for mercury in the drug supply, why it
would “go to the mat” for Thimerosal in filing this
document.
I
then commented that we are trying to protect the
vaccine supply and noted both the concern of
consumers who know some vaccines do and others don’t
have mercury and how we will not know for a decade
after mercury is banned how many illnesses we have
created in our children—and I listed
neurodevelopmental disorders, cancer, food
allergies, asthma…
I
finished by saying that Thimerosal takes away from
our children the very things America espouses:
self-determination, freedom, safety….and health.
Lastly, I told those gathered that CoMeD expected to
have an international announcement to make at INC3,
and that if America would not lead in protecting the
children from mercury-containing drugs, then the
developing countries would shame us into doing the
right thing.
David Geier made further comment on exactly what
was inaccurate in the State Department "unsigned"
document.
But then things got even
better...
Sykes says:
**After the meeting, I approached Dr. Gellin,
head of the National Vaccine Program Office (HHS).
I shook his hand introduced myself, and told him
I wanted to be his ally, not his adversary. I told
him I was pro-vaccine safety and anti-mercury.
I asked Dr. Gellin: “Why is mercury
still in use in vaccines?”
Gellin: Because Thimerosalis a very effective
preservative.
Lisa: (I corrected this statement politely) “I’m
sorry but it isn’t. It fails the test of the
pharmacopeia for a preservative and it is known
historically that batches of vaccine preserved with
Thimerosal have gone bad.
Gellin: Single dose vials are not adequate in a
pandemic of flu. To get the vaccine distributed, we
must have multidose containers and that requires a
preservative.
Lisa: “Multi-dose vials are fine. Just use 2
phenoxyethanol in multidose vials instead of
Thimerosal!”
Gellin: 2 phenoxyethanolis experimental. It is not
in use in a single vaccine on the standard pediatric
immunization schedule.
Lisa: “I’m sorry but you are wrong. It is in use
and has an excellent track record.”
Gellin: “Name one vaccine in use with 2
phenoxyethanol.”
Lisa: “If you will wait just a moment, Dr. Geier is
right there. He can name the vaccine for you.”
(And he did. Infanrix.License in 1997.)
Lisa: One more question. Why haven’t you at least
taken the mercury out of vaccines for use here in
the US?
Gellin: (no answer.)
Lisa: I think I know. You want to keep a token of
Thimerosal in our vaccine supply so you can justify
having much higher amounts of it in the vaccines for
the developing countries…
Gellin (pointing at me): That’s not true!
Lisa: Well, that is the perception! (long
silence) You know, you ought to read my book about
this…
Gellin: (none too happy) I have heard about your
book….
Now we
come to the technical part...
Lies and misdirection in
so-called vaccine studies are simply a way of life.
It is what the pharmaceutical industry has come to
rely on. Most parents of Autistic children
have found this out the hard way. Cancer
patients, and their survivors, find this out too.
So, few of us would be surprised that one more fake
"position paper" pops up at an opportune time.
The official position paper,
unsigned as it is, "Scientific Information
Regarding the Use of Thimerosal As a Preservative in
Vaccines," has twenty-two glaring, very
important, inaccuracies. For a large part the
paper quotes from real scientific studies but
REVERSES the finding of the study in favor of
Thimerosal - an outright fabrication by the paper's
unknown author (Bruce Gellin MD, MPH?).
I am attaching a detailed link
to this article in two parts: (a) the
original unsigned
"position paper" and the
one I marked up as a reference for this article.
You can read the exact words of
the fake paper, and see, for yourself, what the
studies quoted actually do say. Simply follow
the numbers.
(1) On page two of the
report, in the first paragraph, it says:
"FDA conducted a comprehensive review of the use
of thimerosal as a preservative in medical products,
including childhood vaccines. Other than local
hypersensitivity reactions, FDA's review confirmed
the safety of thimerosal as a vaccine preservative.
The review findings were subsequently published
(Ball et al. 2001)."
No, the FDA did not
conduct a review. That is the first lie. Right on the front page of
the quoted report it says:
"The views in this article are those of the
authors and are not intended to represent those of
the Food and Drug Administration or the US Public
Health Service."
(2) and (3) On page two of the
report, in the second paragraph, it says:
"As part of the review, FDA evaluated the amount of
mercury an infant might receive in the form of
ethylmercury, the metabolite of thimerosal, from
vaccines under the U.S. recommended childhood
immunization schedule and compared these levels with
existing guidelines for exposure to methylmercury,
as, there are no existing guidelines for
ethylmercury."
There are, actually, easily and
readily findable REAL studies that are "Guidelines
for Ethylmercury." Those studies clearly
show the exact differences and the similarities of
Methyl and Ethyl mercuries. One of the studies
actually shows where ethylmercury is FAR more
dangerous than methylmercury. The Studies:
(a) "Maximum Allowable Concentrations of
Mercury Compounds," and (b)
"Assessment of Mercury Releases from the Russian
Federation`" can be found as inserts two and
three.
(4) Also on page two of
the report, further down in the second paragraph, it
says:
"Depending on the vaccine formulations used and the
weight of the infant, however, some infants could
have been exposed during the first six months of
life to cumulative levels of ethylmercury that
exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) recommended guidelines for safe intake of
methylmercury."
This is simply not
true. Look at the middle graph titled "six
months" on page (pdf 15 of 41) in the exhibit study
"Thimerosal in Vaccines."
(5) On page 4
of the report (pdf 3 of 41) it says:
"The FDA has not identified any preservative as
effective as thimerosal preservative. Some have
suggested the use of2-phenoxyethanol as an
alternative; however, this component has not been
widely used as a preservative in U.S.-licensed
vaccines and, for some vaccines, it was shown not to
be effective when used alone as a preservative."
The statement is false. The truth is, from
"The Viability of using Non-mercury Preservatives
in Vaccines":
"The Alternatives - Based on a survey of
U.S.-FDA-approved preserved vaccines, other viable
alternatives to Thimerosal as a preservative in
commercial vaccines packaged in multidose vials are:
• phenol [used in the Typhoid Vi
Polysaccharide (Typhim Vi; Sanofi Pasteur, SA) and
the Pneumococcal Polysaccharide (Pneumovax 23; Merck
& Co, Inc) vaccines], and • 2-phenoxyethanol
[used in the DTaP (Infanrix®; GSK), Hepatitis A (Havrix
®; GSK), Hepatitis A/Hepatitis B (Twinrix®; GSK) and
IPV (IPOL ®; Sanofi Pasteur, SA) vaccines]"
(6), (7), and (8)
are responses to paragraph three, page 4 (pdf 3 of
41) statement, which says:
"In particular, studies by Pichichero showed that
in all infants studied, blood levels of ethylmercury
did not exceed safe levels for methylmercury."
Wrong. All three studies, marked 6, 7,
and 8 show very clearly that REAL science knows full
well that the opposite is true. Look at the
graph at the top left of the second page (pdf 19 of
41) of the (6) study titled "Mercury Levels in
Newborns and Infants After Receipt of Thimerosal-Containing
Vaccines," and the graph at the bottom
right of the (7) study "Mercury Levels in Low
Birth Weight Newborn Infants After Receipt of
Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines," (pdf 21 of 41),
and at the graph at the top left of the (8) study
titled "Iatrogenic exposure to mercury after
hepatitus B vaccination in preterm infants."
All of them show the opposite is true.
(9) and (10)
are responses to paragraph three of (pdf 4 of 41)
which says:
"The half-life of ethylmercury in blood is
between 4 and 7 days and complete washout of mercury
from the blood of both pre-and full-term infants has
been shown to occur 30 days after immunization (Pichichero
2002; 2008; 2009; Barregard et aI2011). The
half-life of ethylmercury in human infants has been
shown to be similar to that in infant macaques
(monkeys) (Burbacher et aI 2005), which indicates
that infant monkeys are a good animal model for
human infant exposures to ethylmercury in vaccines."
For (9) - Figure's six and seven, at the bottom of
the study "Comparison of Blood and Brain Mercury
Levels in Infant Monkeys Exposed to Methymercury or
Vaccines containing Thimerosal" (pdf 25 of 41)
tell the REAL, compelling, story.
For (10) - The abstract for the study:
"DELAYED ACQUISITION OF NEONATAL REFLEXES IN NEWBORN
PRIMATES RECEIVING A THIMEROSAL·CONTAINING HEPATITIS
B VACCINE: INFLUENCE OF GESTATIONAL AGE AND BIRTH
WEIGHT" says:
"This primate model
provides a possible means of assessing adverse
neurodevelopmental outcomes from neonatal Th-containing
hepatitis B vaccine exposure, particularly in
infants of lower GA or BW."
(11) On page
6 of the report (pdf 5 of 41), in the first
paragraph, it says:
"Recently, Olczak et al (20 I 0) reported
that pathological changes were observed in the
brains of neonatal Wistar rat pups treated with
ethylmercury at doses at least 3-fold higher than
what human infants could receive in a yearly
influenza vaccine."
The abstract for the study: "Risk
Assessment for Neurobehavioral Toxicity"
provides a graph at the bottom of page (pdf 28 of
41) that explains everything.
(12) On page 6 of the report (pdf 5 of 41), in
the third paragraph, it says:
"Magos et al (1985) found that when rats
were given high (near lethal) oral doses of
ethylmercury and methylmercury (11.2 mg/kg bw/day),
ethylmercury and methylmercury each caused physical
damage to the brain as well as kidney toxicity, but
methylmercury caused more severe brain damage and
decreased coordination compared to ethylmercury.
Conversely, ethylmercury caused greater kidney
toxicity than methylmercury when tested at an
identical dose. Ttyphonas and Nielsen (1973)
compared intoxication of pigs with a range of
identical doses of methylmercury and ethylmercury
for 60 and 90 days respectively"
The abstract for the study: "The
comparative toxicology of ethyl-and methylmercury"
provides, in its abstract, the right answers.
(13) On page
7 of the report (pdf 6 of 41), in the first
paragraph, it says:
"In addition, although brain lesions were
observed in pigs treated with both ethylmercury and
methylmercury, pigs treated with methylmercury had
the most advanced damage, despite a shorter length
of exposure."
The abstract for the study: "Pathology of'
Chronic Alkylmercurial Poisoning in Swine"
provides, in its Discussion, the right answers:
"The alkylmercurials MMD
and EMC are poisonous to swine. In the dosage range
auf! time period used in the present study, target
organs were the nervous, urinary, and digestive
systems; the most obvious clinical signs were
neurologic. Comparatively, EMC proved much more
toxic than MMD."
(14), (15), (16),
(17) and (18) - On page 8 of the report
(pdf 7 of 41), in the second paragraph, it says:
"To date, a number ofepidemiological studies
independently conducted by different investigators
using various designs in different samples and
countries (e.g., Sweden, Denmark, United States, ® @
United Kingdom, and Canada) all have consistently
shown no association between exposure to thimerosal-containing
vaccines and the development ofautism. hnportantly,
investigators in different countries with different
populations using different methods came to similar
conclusions. With the exception ofthe study
performed by Fombonne, et al., and reported in 2006,
all ofthese studies were part ofthe 2004 report
ofthe independent Institute ofMedicine's
hnmunization Safety Review Committee which concluded
that the studies "consistently provided evidence of
no association between thimerosal-containing
vaccines and autism"
Studies (14), (15),
(16), (17) and (18) completely refute that.
(19), (20), (21)
and (22) - On page 9 of the report (pdf 8 of 41), in
the second paragraph, it says:
"Not only is there increasing and consistent
compelling evidence for a lack of association
between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism,
in addition, a study published by Thompson, et al.
(2007), does not support a causal association
between early exposure to mercury from thimerosal-containing
vaccines and/or immunoglobulins and
neuropsychological functioning in children aged 7 to
10 years old. The study evaluated a total of42
neuropsychological outcomes, including speech and
language skills, executive functioning/attention,
fine motor coordination, perceptual organization,
motor tics, academic functioning, intellectual
functioning, and ADHD (attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder) symptomatology. The study
was designed and interpreted with extensive input
from independent outside consultants and the data
set is publicly available. The study enrolled 1047
children between the age of7 and 10 years (born
1993-1997) who had received thimerosal
preservative-containing vaccines and evaluated a
possible association between current
neuropsychological performance and exposure to
mercury during the prenatal period, the neonatal
period, and the first 7 months of life. The
investigators concluded that their "study does not
support a causal association between early exposure
to mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and
immune globulins and deficits in neuropsychological
functioning at the ages of7 to 10 years." In
summary, the consistent findings in studies by
Fombonne, et al. (2006), Thompson, et al. (2007),
and Schechter, et al. (2008), provide further
support that thimerosal exposure ofchildren from
vaccines is not associated with neurodevelopmental
disorders, including autism. In addition, a recent
study conducted by the CDC showed that prenatal and
infant exposure to vaccines that contain thimerosal
preservative does not increase risk for autism
spectrum disorders (ASD). This study found that
children with any ASD conditions and those without
ASD had similar ethylmercury exposures at the end of
each exposure period from pregnancy to 20 months
ofage. Exposure to ethylmercury from thimerosal-containing
immunizations during pregnancy, or as a young child,
was not associated with ASD outcomes Price et al.
(2010)."
Studies (19), (20), (21) and (22) completely refute
that silly statement using REAL science.
With that - let's talk
about Thimerosal Once Again...
Mercury is a deadly toxin - in
any form. Deadly to any living entity.
The product Thimerosal (Merthiolate) is a
mercury-containing pharmaceutical compound that is
49.55% mercury. It was developed in 1927.
More, unlike other forms of mercury, Thimerosal, is
both water and fat soluble - meaning that it
immediately penetrates into every part of the human
body, and attaches itself wherever it wants.
When it is injected, as in vaccines, the human
body's natural defense mechanisms that would work to
catch and expel INGESTED forms of mercury, are
completely bypassed allowing Thimerasol to quickly
bind itself in places in the body we definitely DO
NOT want it - like the brain.
Thimerosal has been marketed as
an antimicrobial agent in a range of products,
including topical antiseptic solutions and
antiseptic ointments for treating cuts. It was
in nasal sprays, eye solutions, vaginal spermicides,
and diaper rash treatments. Perhaps most
importantly it is used, even now, as a preservative
in vaccines and other injectable biological
products, including Rho(D)-immune globulin
preparations.
Despite evidence, dating to the
early 1930s, indicating Thimerosal to be potentially
hazardous to humans and ineffective as an
antimicrobial agent it is still being used.
Crazy as it sounds, Thimerosal
was not scrutinized as part of U.S. pharmaceutical
products until the 1980s, when the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) finally recognized its
demonstrated ineffectiveness and toxicity in topical
pharmaceutical products, and began to eliminate it
from these. In 1998, finally, the US FDA
took topically used (applied to the skin) Thimerosal
products off of the market - as being too dangerous.
Insane as it sounds, the US FDA
didn't seem to have a problem with that same mercury
being INJECTED directly into the human body -
especially into our children. Worse,
Thimerosal continues to be administered, as part of
mandated immunizations and other pharmaceutical
products, in the United States, and globally.
In
Summary...
The unsigned, and extremely
dubious, position paper on Thimerosal, submitted to
the United Nations Commission on Mercury by the US
State Department, was authored, I am certain,
by the US Vaccine Emperor Bruce Gellin MD, MPH.
With that submission only two possibilities arise:
Either Gellin is (a) a hardened liar, or (b)
He is a dumb-ass fool. Which is it?
Either way - Gellin has been
caught. The Vaccine Emperor Has No Clothes...
Stay tuned.
