Toxicity questions: swine flu vaccines

[Guest guest]

I object to any injection-based flu vaccines intended for adults in the United

States that contain thiomersal.

 

" World Health Organization has concluded that there is no evidence

of toxicity from thimerosal in vaccines and no reason on grounds of safety to

change to more-expensive single-dose administration.

Thimerosal is a water-soluble, cream-colored crystalline powder.

It is 49.6% mercury by weight. In the human body, thimerosal is metabolized to

ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. The literature on thimerosal metabolism and

excretion is limited and old. Case

reports have demonstrated toxicity after massive overdoses. Toxicological

information on the chief metabolite of thimerosal, ethylmercury, is extremely

limited. During the recent controversy over the safety of thimerosal in

vaccines, toxicologists have

assumed that the toxicity of ethylmercury is equivalent to the toxicity of

methylmercury. The toxicity of methylmercury is

complex and depends on the type, level, and duration of exposure.

The primary environmental exposure is through consumption of

predator fish. A 6-ounce can of tuna fish contains an average of

17 micrograms of mercury. A pediatric dose of hepatitis B vaccine contains 12.5

micrograms. The major toxicity of mercury is

manifested in the central nervous system.

 

Forty years ago, when women at Minamata Bay, Japan, ate fish contaminated with

methylmercury from pollutants, their children

were exposed to high levels in utero and were born with severe developmental and

neurological disorders. Methylmercury poisoning also occurred in Iraq following

consumption of seed grain that had been treated with a fungicide containing

methylmercury. In both

the Japanese and Iraqi episodes, exposures to methylmercury were

very high. Two population-based studies are often cited as the

basis for calculations on the neurotoxicity of mercury in utero.

 

In the first, a study from the Seychelles, infants were exposed to mercury in

utero when their mothers ate a high daily consumption of

methylmercury-containing fish. The mothers had mean mercury levels

in hair of 6.8 ppm. No developmental defects were detected. In the second, a

study from the Faroe Islands, infants were born to mothers with mean hair levels

of 4.3 ppm.

 

In contrast to the Seychelles mothers, these mothers were exposed to mercury

through intermittent " bolus " consumption of pilot whale meat. Lower scores on

memory, attention, and language tests were associated with methylmercury

exposure in the children (see Mercury Study Report to Congress, EPA, 1997). "

circumstances WITHOUT human intervention! And of course the big talk up by the

media to spread fear across the globe of the great pandemic that we MUST have so

as to line the pockets of the pHARMaceutical companies.

for REAL? If so what preventative measures can I take or prepare myself for

other than what I normally do now to stop me from getting flu? I can't remember

the last time I ever had flu much less even a cold!
