Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 >www.testfoundation.org/thimcontent.htm Thimerosal Despite the fact that thimerosal preservative has been effective in lowering the risk that vaccines could be contaminated by bacteria leading to serious infection, the United States Public Health Service agencies, including NIH, FDA, HRSA, and CDC, working collaboratively with the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians, took action in mid-1999 to begin removing thimerosal preservative from the vaccine supply. While the risk of harm from this source was only theoretical, the decision was made as a precautionary measure. The elimination of thimerosal preservative from vaccines was judged a feasible means of reducing an infant's total exposure to mercury in a world where other environmental sources of exposure may be more difficult or impossible to eliminate. As a result of this action, all manufacturers of routinely recommended licensed pediatric vaccines are now producing for the U.S. market only vaccines that are thimerosal-free or contain trace amounts of thimerosal. The vaccines are supplied in single-dose vials which eliminates the need for a preservative.< This was taken from the 2000 PDR and it says they removed or left trace amounts of mercury in vaccines after 1999. My grandson received his shots between 1996 and 1998 so he received more than the children reflected in this graph. I also don't trust them on this anyway. Dr. Geier says they are lying to the public and that they are putting mercury in vaccines. He believes they are doing this so that people can't say that after removing mercury the number of children acquiring autism decreased significantly. So if they believe that mercury is not in the vaccines, and autism continues to rise, the populace will believe that mercury doesn't cause autism.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 We've had requests to provide a link that will help parents determine the amount of thimerosal their children have been exposed to. Here is a good resource. <http://www.testfoundation.org/thimcontent.htm>http://www.testfoundation.org/thi\ mcontent.htm Warmly, Fournier National Autism Association <http://www.nationalautismassociation.org>www.nationalautismassociation.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
