Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I wanted to post a comment to this article on thimersol in vaccines. The article and the link in the article make it sound as if thimersol in vaccines has been mostly cut out. I just had to share that my daughter had a baby recently in a large city hospital, and they did not have a thimerosol free Hepatitis B vaccine there. Her Dr's office had one, which was expired. She was able to get a delay in this vaccine. Previoius to having the baby, she could not find one pediatrician who would take the baby if he or she did not have the Heptatiis vaccine. My daughter finally found a regular MD who was willing to " work " with the mother and baby to find atleast thimerosol free vaccines. My daughter has read extensively about vaccines and there are a ton of sites out there on the con's mostly and parental rights. Seems there aren't any rights when it comes to this, and children can be taken away. They certainly are refused by Dr's to be seen without them, however, the vaccines without thimerosol appear limited. There are other ingredients in vaccines also, such as formaldehyde, alluminum, and other things. I developed an allergy to the thimerosol through contact lense solutions many years ago, and now I can't even have my eyes dilated, because they always react. I also have now found out after many angiograms, I'm allergic to the angiogram dye. So, this thimerosol is a very frustrating problem as it's in everything as a preservative.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dear Lor, Thimerosal is more widely used than we suspect. I think we must strive to get a complete list and then simply refuse the medications/preservatives. In India vaccines are not compulsory but as the government backs the process many think it is. Moreover the doctors abuse those patients who do not want to vaccinate. This Thimerosal stuff has gone too far.
