rhogam shot was: Re: and autism

[Guest guest]

I got one at 16 weeks gestation with a minimum of 80-120 mcg.

thimerosal in it. The brand name was HypRhoD by Bayer. That much

mercury could have killed my son, and I am lucky he is not more

severely affected. RhoD shots are all produced in single dose pre-

filled syringes, so there should NEVER be preservatives used in

them. The pharmaceutical companies claim they used thimerosal in the

manufacturing process to prevent contamination.

And I agree, the pharma rep is the last person I'd trust. If any of

you have read " Evidence of Harm " you might remember when one of the

original mercury dads called the vaccine manufacturer to inquire

about thimerosal; he was told by a representative at (I think) Merck

that thimerosal was very mild, " like lime juice " .

If you are concerned I would stick with the post-partum shot. The

prenatal shot was never given up until the late 1980's, when the ACOG

decided to recommend it be given during pregnancy as well as after

delivery.
