Regarding the article " Mercury (Thimerosal) in Vaccines FDA report "

(1) INGESTED IS NOT THE SAME AS INJECTED

 

Humans are supposed to have " friendly flora " living in their gut.

 

Mercury -- in the tunafish sandwich that we eat for lunch

-- will be dealt with, to a large extent, by those bacteria.

 

 

 

On the other hand, mercury which is injected is " free " to " travel "

throughout the bloodstream.

 

 

 

What system does the FDA think is in place for removing mercury which is

disseminated in that way?

 

 

(2) INSTRUCTIONS: SHAKE WELL

What if the nurse (or doctor) does not shake the container?

 

The report says, " the FDA evaluated the amount of mercury an infant

might receive in the form of ethylmercury from vaccines under the U.S.

recommended childhood immunization schedule... "

 

But the FDA does not address the issue -- reported by some parents, and

probably unknown by others --

 

of the massive overdose which can occur if the multi-dose container is

not shaken extremely well before each use.

 

What is the largest quantity of thimerosal-containing vaccine which has

been available?

 

How much mercury could any one infant have received, if the bottle were

not shaken well?

 

(3) WHAT ABOUT " HOT LOTS " ?

 

The report says, " the FDA evaluated the amount of mercury an infant

might receive in the form of ethylmercury from vaccines under the U.S.

recommended childhood immunization schedule . . . "

 

But there is no mention of the " hot lots " of vaccines -- which are

listed at a website on the internet, if one knows where to look -- which

contained excessive amounts of thimerosal.

 

If a child received one (or more) of those, then what?

 

(4) THIMEROSAL IN OTHER PRODUCTS

 

" . . . thimerosal has been used in some immune globulin preparations,

anti-venins,

skin test antigens,

and ophthalmic and nasal products,

in addition to certain vaccines. "

 

Thimerosal is also injected into pregnant mothers with a potential Rh

factor discrepancy. At some time in the past, it was not given until a

second or subsequent pregnancy; and today the infant could be tested

while the mother is still pregnant.

 

In some places in the United States, a pregnant woman who is Rh-negative

is routinely vaccinated --

 

with a thimerosal containing substance (brand name in the U.S., RhoGam)

--

 

thus allowing the thimerosal to circulate into the growing fetus.

 

Also, for many years, paint -- ordinary house paint -- contained mercury

as a preservative.

 

How many mothers painted the nursery while she was pregnant?

 

AND some spermicides contained mercury.

 

Was it a preservative?

 

No, it was the spermicide.

 

How many mothers unknowingly used a mercury-containing spermicide,

perhaps for years, before becoming pregnant ... and then wondering what

went wrong, after the baby was born and had neurological problems?

 

 

(5) HEPATITIS A VACCINE

 

In the United States, the Hepatitis

 

A vaccination still contains thimerosal, and is given within just a few

days of birth.

 

Does the FDA think that a newborn has a " functioning " immune system,

which can mount an immune reponse and also remove mercury?

 

(5) ACETAMINOPHEN AND VACCINATIONS

 

In a recent newspaper article promoting vaccinations, a young child

receives shots for hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio,

Haemophilus influenzae type b and pneumococcus -- all at one visit.

 

The doctor gives the shots.

 

Then,

he is quoted as saying:

 

" All done . . . [n]ow Daddy's going to give you your Tylenol and Mama's

going to pick you up and love you. "

 

What's wrong with this scenario?

 

A well-respected on-line medical information service, eMedicine says:

 

" Acetaminophen is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine

and metabolized by conjugation in the liver to nontoxic agents,

 

which then are eliminated in the urine . . . .

 

In acute overdose or when maximum daily dose is exceeded over a

prolonged period, the normal pathways of metabolism become saturated. "

Isn't there a very great likelihood that such a quantity of vaccines,

all at once, would be likely to

 

" saturate the normal pathways of metabolism " in a very young child?

 

At what age does an infant develop an immune system?
