Dr. Mercola's Comment:

 

I find it almost incomprehensible that thimerosal, the well-documented,

toxic mercury-containing preservative, is still in many vaccines, years

after federal agencies have mandated that it be removed from vaccines. Most

people, physicians included, don't understand thimerosal is still used in

most vaccines and is likely one of the major contributing factors to vaccine

toxicity.

 

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. Injecting it into a child, whose nervous

system is rapidly developing, could have terrible consequences. So, before

you decide to vaccinate your children, do them a favor and look into the

many risks and side effects associated with common childhood vaccines. Doing

so could mean the difference between life and death.

 

When my colleague and regular columnist, Dr. Russell Blaylock, forwarded me

his latest manuscript, I was shocked and dismayed to read his review of a

secret 2000 meeting between CDC officials and scientists about the use of

thimerosal. I believe you will be too, which is why I posted his entire

manuscript. Be sure to read the entire fascinating story.

 

By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.

 

The Devastating Effects of Mercury

 

For example, mercury, even in low concentrations, is known to impair energy

production by mitochondrial enzymes. The brain has one of the highest

metabolic rates of any organ and impairment of its energy supply, especially

during development, can have devastating consequences. In addition, mercury,

even in lower concentrations, is known to damage DNA and impair DNA repair

enzymes, which again, plays a vital role in brain development.

 

Mercury is known to impair neurotubule stability, even in very low

concentrations. Neurotubules are absolutely essential to normal brain cell

function. Mercury activates microglial cells, which increases excitotoxicity

and brain free radical production as well as lipid peroxidation, central

mechanisms in brain injury.

 

In addition, even in doses below that which can cause obvious cell injury,

mercury impairs the glutamate transport system, which in turn triggers

excitotoxicity, a central mechanism in autism and other neurological

disorders. Ironically, aluminum also paralyzes this system.

 

On page 228, we see another admission that the government has had no

interest in demonstrating the safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines

despite more than 2,000 articles showing harmful effects of mercury. Here we

see a reference to the fact that the FDA " has a wonderful facility in

Arkansas with hundreds of thousands of animals " available for any study

needed to supply these answers on safety.

 

The big question to be asked: Why has the government ignored the need for

research to answer these questions concerning thimerosal safety? You will

recall, in the beginning, the participants of this conference complained

that there were just so few studies or no studies concerning this " problem. "

 

Junk Scientists

 

Again, on page 229, Dr. Brent rails about the lawsuit problem. He tells the

others he has been involved in three lawsuits related to vaccine injuries

leading to birth defects and concluded, " If you want to see junk science,

look at those cases ... . " He then complains about the type of scientists

testifying in these cases. He adds, " But the fact is those scientists are

out there in the United States. " In essence, he labels anyone who opposes

the " official policy " on vaccines as a junk scientist.

 

We have seen previously in the discussion just who the " junk scientists "

really are.

 

Knowing what they have found can cause them a great deal of problems he

adds, " The medical/legal findings in this study, causal or not, are horrendo

us ... . If an allegation was made that a child's neurobehavioral findings

were caused by thimerosal-containing vaccines, you could readily find a junk

scientist who will support the claim with 'a reasonable degree of

certainty'. "

 

On page 229, Dr. Brent then admits they are in a bad position because they

have no data for their defense. Now, who really are the junk scientists?

 

*

 

Are " real scientists " ones who have no data, just wishful thinking and a

" feeling " that everything will be all right?

*

 

Are " real scientists " the ones who omit recognized experts on the problem in

question during a conference because it might endanger the " program " ?

*

 

Or are they the ones who make statements that they don't want their

grandsons to get thimerosal-containing vaccines until the problem is worked

out, but then tell millions of parents that the vaccines are perfectly safe

for their children and grandchildren?

 

Dr. Meyers, on page 231, put it this way: " My own concern, and a couple of

you said it, there is an association between vaccines and outcomes that

worries both parents and pediatricians. " He cites other possible connections

to vaccine-related neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental problems including

the number of vaccines being given, the types of antigens being used and

other vaccine additives.

 

Dr. Caserta tells the group he attended the aluminum conference the previous

years and learned that often metals could act differently in biological

systems than as an ion. This is interesting in the face of the finding that

fluoride when combined to aluminum forms a compound that can destroy

numerous hippocampal neurons at a concentration of 0.5 ppm in drinking

water. It seems that aluminum readily combines with fluoride to form this

toxic compound.

 

With more than 60 percent of communities having fluoridated, drinking water,

this becomes a major concern.

 

It has also been learned that fluroaluminum compounds mimic the phosphate

compound and can activate G-proteins. G-proteins play a major role in

numerous biological systems, including endocrine, neurotransmitters and as

cellular second messengers. Some of the glutamate receptors are operated by

a G-protein mechanism.

 

Can You Keep a Secret?

 

Over the next 10-15 pages, they discuss how to control this information so

that it will not get out and, if it does, how to control the damage. On page

248, Dr. Clements has this to say:

 

" But there is now the point at which the research results have to be

handled, and even if this committee decides that there is no association and

that information gets out, the work has been done and through the freedom of

information that will be taken by others and will be used in other ways

beyond the control of this group. And I am very concerned about that as I

suspect that it is already too late to do anything regardless of any

professional body and what they say. "

 

In other words, he wants this information kept not only from the public but

also from other scientists and pediatricians until they can be properly

counseled. In the next statement, Dr. Clements spills the beans as to why he

is determined that no outsider get hold of this damaging information.

 

" My mandate as I sit here in this group is to make sure at the end of the

day that 100,000,000 are immunized with DTP, Hepatitis B and if possible

Hib, this year, next year and for many years to come, and that will have to

be with thimerosal-containing vaccines unless a miracle occurs and an

alternative is found quickly and is tried and found to be safe. "

 

This is one of the most shocking statements I have ever heard. In essence,

he is saying, " I don't care if the vaccines are found to be harmful and

destroying the development of children's brains, these vaccines will be

given now and forever. " His only concern by his own admission is to protect

the vaccine program even if it is not safe. Dr. Brent refers to this as an

" eloquent statement. "
