More Madness - Toxic Vaccine

ORDERED Used On Babies

The Department of Health has told doctors they must use stocks of a

mercury-based vaccine for infants even though it is being phased out for

safety reasons.

The department is supplying the brand with mercury despite fears that it

could be a cause of autism and other disorders. The decision flies in the

face of European guidelines, which warn that it would be prudent to avoid

such vaccines for children.

Two years ago medicine regulators in America and Europe recommended the

mercury-containing preservative thiomersal should be phased out of vaccines

" within the shortest possible time frame " .

This followed an announcement by the United States Federal Drugs

Administration (FDA) that accumulated mercury in vaccines given to babies

under six months in America exceeded safety limits set by the Environmental

Protection Agency.

In a related US study, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention found a " statistically significant " association between

thiomersal in vaccines and children with problems such as attention deficit

disorder and language learning delays.

In June last year the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal

Products (EMEA) said: " For vaccination in infants and toddlers, as a

precautionary measure it would be prudent to promote the general use of

vaccines without thiomersal and other mercurial preservatives. Moreover, the

use of the available thiomersal-free vaccines should be recommended for

vaccination of newborns. "

Mercury-free vaccines are available to the Department of Health but last

month all GPs and clinics, which inoculate more than 600,000 babies a year,

were told all orders for the combined diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis

(DTP) and Hib vaccine (which protects against a form of meningitis) would be

met with a product containing thiomersal, which is almost 50% mercury. This

was " in order to make good use of the current and future stocks available " .

The previous policy was to supply a DTP Hib vaccine, Infanrix Hib, which

does not contain mercury.

The decision will outrage parents already concerned that vaccines may damage

their children. " It beggars belief, " said Isabella Thomas, from Brighton,

whose son Michael is autistic. " To replace a vaccine which contains no

mercury, which must be safer, with one which contains a toxic substance to

use up stocks is disgraceful and irresponsible. "

Celia Forrest, from north London, who has an autistic son, is to write in

protest to Tony Blair, Alan Milburn, the health secretary, and David

Hinchliffe, chairman of the Commons health committee, demanding an inquiry.

" The time has now come for the politicians to investigate this scandal, " she

said.

When asked why it was not promoting the mercury-free vaccine Infanrix, the

health department said: " The joint committee on vaccination and immunisation

has decided Infanrix is not as effective as the other. "

A more effective mercury-free vaccine than Infanrix was now being developed

and would be made available on the NHS once it came on the UK market, it

said. GPs could request a mercury-free vaccine now " for specific patients on

clinical grounds. We would stress the recommendation [from the EMEA] was as

a precautionary measure " .
