WXYZ Detroit: Some Vaccines Still Contain Mercury

It's the controversy that won't go away. Is the skyrocketing

rate of Autism in children due in any way to the mercury long

contained in childhood vaccines? It's an issue our chief investigative

reporter Steve has stayed with from the start…and Steve will

science ever answer this one?

Live Open:

It could happen one day but only if researchers keep looking…

and with 1 in 150 children now diagnosed with Autism in this

country—more than 100 new, young victims every single day—a lot of

skeptical parents and others believe there's a big incentive for

industry and government to cover up the truth.

Dr. , M.D./Pediatrician: I don't think anybody is

saying you want to inject mercury. () Why would I do it? Why

would I allow it to happen? () Well, for routine vaccinations,

we don't allow it to happen. "

A loving grandmother and president of the American Academy of

Pediatrics, Dr. is among those in medicine, in

government, in the media, pretty much telling parents this problem's

been solved…there is no mercury in the routine schedule of childhood

vaccines anymore, except maybe just " trace " amounts. She's talking

about a mercury-based vaccine preservative called Thimerosal…and the

truth is there's still as much as ever in 11 vaccines including most

flu vaccines injected into pregnant women and kids, and some of them

younger than 9 get two doses in a season. And also high levels of

mercury from Thimerosal in tetanus shots and the boosters routinely

injected into 11-year-olds…and also in some meningitis and

diphtheria-tetanus formulas, too.

Heidi Scheer/Mother of Autistic Child: …and I know for a fact

people that have gone to their physician and have been told there was

no Thimerosal in their vaccine, then the parents asked to see the

package insert and they find it there.

Mrs. Michigan joined parents of other autistic children marching

on Washington just recently not only to alert new parents but to point

out the half-million children already stricken, they believe by the

large doses of mercury they got in the increasing number of vaccines

the government and their doctors recommended.

A congressional committee that studied the matter has already

concluded: " Thimerosal…is directly related to the Autism epidemic. "

It could have been prevented or curtailed " had the FDA not been

asleep at the switch " allowing the untested toxic to be part of the

vaccine recipe, something the committee report blamed on " misplaced

protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry. "

Presidential candidate McCain says now there's " strong

evidence " of a link between skyrocketing Autism and the mercury in

vaccines. Boyd Haley is a scientist and pioneer in the study of this

issue.

Dr. Boyd Haley/Researcher: And I want to talk to a lot of the

journalists here because you're a big part of the problem. Most of

you… (crowd cheering) … you've allowed the CDC to hijack what's

perceived as the science of Autism. There hasn't been one publication

ever published where Thimerosal was tested against a living cell, a

living animal, where it wasn't found to be severely toxic, psydotoxic

and neurotoxic, and yet you can go in there and they'll tell you `Oh

we know it's not connected.' Why don't you go read the papers?

Some examples of the scientific papers he's talking about?
