Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Tdap contains thimerosal...(mercury) The Td part is the same thing as what's in Tdap. Tdap is just a combination vaccine, that contains Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis. The TB mantoux does not have mercury. aluminum is toxic and synergistic if mixed with mercury or in someone who is mercury toxic. (combing the two is twice as toxic) Your grad school program does not allow for religious exemption?? By law I think they have too. I don't honestly think all the Muslim students or Jehovah's are putting their beliefs to wayside in their grad programs. I would look at your state vaccine laws...there is probably a way around this. Your college is not going to tell you that you have this right. But your probably do. It would be in your state health laws. (www.vaclib.org) All vaccines contain some mercury with the exception of live virus vaccines. (MMR, Chicken Pox). Sometimes it's just traces and aluminum, other times it's 25mcg per shot. Adult shots usually contain 25mcg each because they are not subject to the pediatric stipulation of being " thimerosal free " . I put that in quotes because it's misleading. Even those shots still contain traces of mercury, the levels just are below the legal guideline so they can say it's Hg free. Just like those fat free foods that say in fine print " contains a negligible amount of fat " . Well, negligible by whose standards? Any mercury is bad...whether negligible or not. These shots would be a problem for most mercury toxic people on this board. And probably for many regular people. Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis are not diseases that most of us are at risk of. Simple sanitation and wound care eliminates these. Tetanus is not obtained from a rusty nail, but from having a deep wound laden with soil that is contaminated with tetanus spores from animal feces. Most people with a wound that deep require stitches and thus the wound is irrigated at a hospital and your given antibiotics. So tetanus never happens. And again..you'd need to be in soil that had these spores. Years back when I had a Td booster (before I knew better).. had terrible muscle pain in my arm for about 6 months after. Like someone had punched it. It was hard to lift and the muscle felt weak. It also was the tipping point for me for mercury and my health began to decline. As far as immune system repercussions...vaccines are made from animal viruses with genetically modified viruses inserted into those cells. Usually these animal cells are " washed " but still contain animal viral dna. Nasty stuff laden with who knows what. This is the cause of autoimmunity. My research into vaccine production and development yields that cancer and other diseases stem from these other viral vaccine contaminants. (The salk vaccine is famous for this, it was contaminated with SV40 and people who had it got cancer) So there are other health concerns to putting foreign germs in your body that are not found in nature. The strains used in vaccines are mostly recombitant and not found in nature. Obviously the choice is yours. But check those laws..I don't think they can force you receive a medical treatment against your will. Vaccines are medical treatments. > > Just wondering whether any of you have taken these and been okay with > them?
