Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Within 3 weeks two states now have bills demanding the removal of mercury from ALL vaccinations. I guess the states decided to take it upon themselves to right the travesty perpetrated on our innocent children. Makes me wonder what our Washington reps are waiting for....DEB _______________________________ From ABC Affiliate Channel 13 in Ohio____ Mercury Free VaccinesBill is introduced to keep mercury out of vaccines, which some people think can cause autism Autism is a mysterious and socially challenging disease which affects hundreds of children in our area. Last year, the 13 Action News I-Team found evidence that suggests mercury contained in vaccines could be to blame for the neurological disease. In our first investigation we talked with local parents who believe mercury in vaccines gave their kids autism. We also found studies to back up their claims and other studies that highly dispute them . This month a Florida congressman introduced bill 4169. It demands that all vaccine companies make sure that all mercury is out of their products. Mercury is contained in thimerosal, which is a preservative still used in small traces in some vaccines. The I-Team first brought you the heartbreaking stories of local children with autism last May. We found studies and experts who linked autism to mercury in vaccines. Other more mainstream studies and publications said that there is no link and that signs of children developing autism after getting vaccines was coincidence. But in 1999, government agencies and the American Academy of Pediatrics agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a "precautionary measure." The local parents in our investigation say they believe if passed, the Mercury Free Vaccines Act of 2004 would help protect other children. The bill is in the initial stages right now and has been referred to the subcommittee on health. For more information on the bill, click here and search for HR4169. You should talk to your children's doctor if you want details on the ingredients in your children's vaccines. -- Brought to you by: AutismLink, Inc.
