What You Need to Know About Thimerosal in Vaccines

Thimerosal in vaccines is an Ethylmercury based vaccine preservative used to prevent bacteria or fungal growth in the vaccine itself. Russia banned the use of Thimerosal in their children's vaccines back in 1980, while the United States continued to use it, to the possible detriment of our children's health.

Today we are told these vaccines are improved upon and thimerosal in vaccines is ancient history with the exception of a few flu vaccines, but not necessarily so. Let's look back just a few years, these same people who are telling us how safe vaccines are now, are the same people who used Eli Lilly's own study performed by it's own doctors back in the 1930's, and kept reassuring us that vaccines were safe. It wasn't until the increased number of vaccines, which ultimately lead to an increase in thimerosal build up in children, as well as the Hep B vaccine release which had many people watching their children go into convulsions and some died, that they finally said, OK, maybe this stuff isn't a good thing. Actually they still did not admit a problem, instead in July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a "precautionary measure". So much of the uneducated public could see that vaccines were injuring their children, yet even now they say precautionary measure, presumably as a better alternative to admitting guilt.

As of 1999 and 2001, everything got better, Thimerosal in vaccines would be a thing of the past, or at least so we were told, again by the same people that told us it was safe to begin with.

In 2004, some evidence surfaced that may shed some light on yet another deception by this trillion dollar industry. According to an investigation into the mercury issue, HAPI discovered that mercury was still being used to manufacture vaccines and was then filtered out. the problem being, that the mercury does not all flush out in the filtration process. Mercury binds to certain types of proteins and remains in the vaccine.

Even after their precautionary measures, they still continue, The Healing Arts organization has a report on Thimerosal Linked to Autism in Confidential CDC Study, where apparently the CDC has hidden evidence that a certain level of mercury laden thimerosal in the first 3 months of life more than doubles the chances of autism in the child which is more than significant. SAFEMINDS and Indiana Representative have requested the CDC's data for independent study, but have been refused. Personally, I cannot any longer trust any such organization with the life and well being of my children. If they have nothing to hide, why not release the papers, then again would they release the real papers?

Mercury is the second most toxic element to the human body second only to plutonium, why would any company of educated individuals put this into a product to be injected into children at ANY level unless simply motivated by greed. Toxic chemicals are far more likely to destroy this human race than are the diseases it has had to deal with for thousands of years.

Thimerosal is currently used in the following vaccines, however this does not necessarily include those vaccines containing mercury as found by HAPI:

DTwP - all versions - 25 Micrograms/0.5ml
DT - Sanofi Pastuer - 25 Micrograms/0.5ml
Tetanus Toxoid - Sanofi Pastuer - 25mcg/0.5ml
Flu Vaccine 2006/7:
Afluria - CSL Limited - multi dose 24.5mcg/0.5ml
Fluarix - GlaxoSmithKline - FluLaval - GlaxoSmithKline - 25mcg/0.5ml
FluVirin - Novartis - 24.5mcg/0.5ml
Fluzone 5ml vial - Sanofi Pastuer - 25mcg/0.5ml (also available in a no preservative)
Meningococcal (MENOMUNE-A/C/Y/W-135) multi-dose - sanofi Pastuer- 25mcg/0.5ml

I highly recommend a review of the information on these websites, there are others but these combined tell a tale.
