Re: Ped Med: Compelling Clues To Autism Puzzle

[Guest guest]

Lenny,

Based on our current understanding,

in more than 85% of all cases, the

real puzzle is " Mercury (from

Thimerosal [49.55% mercury by wt.])

Causes Mercury Poisoning, " and

" autism, " a " causeless " disorder,

is but one mislabeled piece in

the mercury-poisoning puzzle.

Until mercury is removed from all

of medicine for at least 5 years,

the true extent of the harm will

remain concealed and, as is the

case in California, the " healthcare "

establishment is intent on the

ongoing mercury poisoning of

pregnant women (to damage the

fetus) andf young children even

if they have to use ineffective

Thimerosal-preserved influenza

vaccines and " emergency exemptions "

to accomplish their goal as they

are currently doiing in California.

And the mainstream media does not

even report the facts that the

influneza vaccines are ineffective

as the articles:

1. A. Geier, G. King &

Mark R. Geier. Influenza Vaccine:

Review of Effectiveness of the

U.S. Immunization Program, and

Policy Considerations. JAP & S

(Journal of American Physicians &

Surgeons) 2006 Fall; 11(3): 69-74.

2. Tom Jefferson. Influenza vaccination:

policy versus evidence. BMJ (British

Medical Journal) 2006 October 28; 333:

912-915.

have clearly established.

Hopefully, some of the California

attorneys will these articles and

understand the culpability of the

groups pressing for the use of an

ineffective vaccine.

Obviously, neither the " healthcare

establishment " nor the mainstream

media care that an ineffective

influenza vaccine is the vector

that is being used to mercury-

poison fetuses and young children

as well as the elderly.

Respectfully,

Dr. king
