Vaccines Are Not Mercury Free

 

After much public controversy surrounding the mercury content of

childhood vaccinations, Health Advocacy in the Public Interest (HAPI)

raised $500 to have four vaccines tested for heavy metal content.

The vials were sent to Doctor's Data, an independent lab which

specializes in heavy metal testing.

 

Many manufacturers voluntarily began producing supposed " mercury

free " vaccines in 1999. Some product inserts currently claim that

a " trace " amount of mercury still exists in the final product but

that the amount has been greatly reduced. Others claim to be

producing completely mercury free products.

 

During an investigation into the mercury issue, HAPI learned that

Thimerosal, a 50% mercury compound, is still being used to produce

most vaccines and that the manufacturers are simply " filtering it

out " of the final product. However, according to Boyd Haley, PhD,

Chemistry Department Chair, University of Kentucky, mercury binds to

the antigenic protein in the vaccine and cannot be completely, 100%

filtered out.

 

All four vaccine vials tested contained mercury despite manufacturer

claims that two of the vials were completely mercury free. All four

vials also contained aluminum, one nine times more than the other

three, which tremendously enhances the toxicity of mercury causing

neuronal death in the brain.

 

The mercury content of routine childhood vaccinations has been linked

to the current autism epidemic as well as numerous other neurological

disorders affecting children today. Currently, one in six children

are affected in some way and one in 250 children are diagnosed as

autistic compared to one in 10,000 prior to mercury containing

vaccines.

 

It is the position of Dr. Haley as well as HAPI that if mercury can

be detected in any vaccine using standard instrumentation, the

content should be disclosed in the product insert and manufacturers

should not be allowed to call the product " mercury free " .

 

Executive Director of HAPI, Dawn Winkler, met with FDA officials in

Silver Spring, Maryland on July 27, 2004 to discuss blatant

mislabeling and misrepresentation of ingredients in vaccinations

which are licensed by the FDA. Clearly, more testing is needed. The

FDA has the ability and authority to take on the necessary testing,

however, at present, this task sadly appears to be up to the public.

 

HAPI will be attempting to raise more funds to test more vaccines in

an effort to pressure the FDA to crack down on manufacturers to label

their products correctly. To help with this effort call 970-641-7413
