Neonatal Administration of Thimerosal Causes Persistent

Changes in Mu Opioid Receptors in the Rat Brain

Here is an extract from the Introduction section

Thimerosal (THIM), an organomercury compound, which contains

approximately 49% mercury (Hg) by weight, has been used for decades as a

preservative in pediatric vaccines without adequate testing for its

safety in developing organ...isms. THIM is metabolized in the body first

into ethylmercury and subsequently into other organic and inorganic

mercury forms [1]. Centuries of human experience and a large body of

scientific data document that all forms of Hg are highly toxic.

Considerable amounts of Hg have been found in the blood of human infants

after the injection of THIM-containing vaccines [2, 3] and studies

conducted with infant monkeys showed that Hg from THIM-vaccine injections

accumulates in the brain at concentrations many times higher than those

in the blood, and that it stays there for months or years [4]. Post

vaccination levels of Hg in infant brains may reach medium nanomolar

concentrations, which are neurotoxic and kill neurons in vitro [5]. THIM

doses equivalent to those used in vaccines have been shown to harm the

brains of developing mice [6].

Let me repeat part of that.

without adequate testing for its safety in developing

organisms. "

stays there for months or years "
