Mercury, a vaccine preservative, was withdrawn from childhood jabs five years ago after evidence linked it to brain damage. However, the Sunday Express has discovered the pandemic vaccine, to be rolled out across the country within weeks, contains the heavy metal. It also contains a chemical called squalene, used to stimulate the immune system to respond to the vaccine. Some scientists believe squalene is linked to autoimmune illnesses including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.Squalene was included in the anthrax jab given to British and US soldiers during the 1991 Gulf War. Many claim it caused them permanent neurological damage, known as “Gulf War syndrome”. Female soldiers given the vaccine were advised not to become pregnant for at least 18 months because of the risk of birth defects. The swine flu vaccine could be given to more than 11million Britons in “at-risk” groups. These include asthmatics, heart patients and those with compromised immune systems.But medical professionals and health campaigners are concerned about the risks of the cocktail of chemicals it contains. Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth About Vaccines, said: “Mercury is one of the most toxic substances known to man. It should not have a place in any vaccine for anyone of any age.” Jackie Fletcher, founder of Jabs, a group that campaigns to highlight the dangers of vaccines said: “Mercury is a known neurotoxin. Nobody knows what amount people can cope with – however small.” Last month the Sunday Express reported a link with a previous swine flu vaccine and a paralysis known as Guillain-Barre syndrome.A spokesman for Baxters, one of the swine flu vaccine manufacturers refused to comment on the ingredients of the jab. GlaxoSmithKline, another manufacturer, said the mercury preservative was essential to prevent contamination. A spokeswoman also said squalene was safe. “No severe adverse events have been associated with it,” she said.A Department of Health spokeswoman said: “It is extremely irresponsible to suggest that the UK would use a vaccine without careful consideration of safety issues. The UK has one of the most successful immunisation programmes in the world.” Sheri Nakken, R.N., MA, Hahnemannian Homeopath Vaccination Information & Choice Network, Washington State, USAVaccines - http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm or http://www.wellwithin1.com/vaccine.htmVaccine Dangers, Childhood Disease Classes & Homeopathy Online/email courses - next classes start September 9 & 10http://www.wellwithin1.com/vaccineclass.htm or http://www.wellwithin1.com/homeo.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
