Re: pediatric clinic and country health getting wise?

thimerosal

1-While your site on vaccine safety/mercy states there is no evidence that

thimerosal is linked to autism, is there any evidence to prove that

thimerosal has no link to the 500%+ increase in autism in the United States

the past three years?

2-Though some vaccines are no longer manufactured with high levels of

thimerosal, how do I know that my children are not receiving old lots that

still have thimerosal and or mercury?

CDC's reply:

1.. It is virtually impossible to ever scientifically prove that one thing

NEVER is related to something else. There is no reliable scientific

evidence of a causal link between any vaccines and autism as documented on

the following website,

http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vacsafe/concerns/thimerosal/default.htm,

http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vacsafe/concerns/autism/default.htm, and

http://www.immunize.org/safety/autism.htm.

2.. The FDA site, http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.htm, provides

information on the content of all vaccines currently licensed in the U.S.

If you are concerned about the contents in any vaccine or other medication

your children receive, you can ask your healthcare provider for information

on the contents. Each vaccine comes with a product information insert that

list the contents.

Several weeks ago I went to my pediatric's office asking for a copy of the

package insert. As if I didn't know any better, the nurses and vaccine

administers responded like they didn't know what I was talking about. After

5 minutes of trying to get it from them, they sent me out the door with the

typically limited list of side effects that all parents get during or after

vaccination.

I tried again at the our county health department office. The secretary had

no idea what I was talking about so she passed me on to a nurse who told me

they don't give out copies of the package inserts.

When I got home, I decided...okay, I will make a well-baby check up for my

18 month old next month who's last vaccination was at four months. The

nurse practioner my daughter is scheduled to see is known for her rudeness

and bullying (sp?) parents who refuse to vax. I PICKED HER FOR A REASON. I

will be walking into the office mentally armed with the knowledge that they

HAVE TO give me the specified information in their pocession I request for.

If I have to raise my voice I just may....and upon my exit I intend to hand

out to all the parents in the waiting room CDC's list of vaccine

ingredients. My only reason for scheduling this check up is to make the

office give me copies of each package insert.

Tell me, I have not been given a reason to act with a little " force. "
