Question about mercury in multi-dose vaccines

[Guest guest]

Isn't it true that in a multi-vax container that wasn't shaken (?)

before each dose, the mercury settles on the bottom, so that doses

given toward the end could have several times the intended mercury in

them? So aren't these CDC numbers of mercury only averages - and if

you're child is unlucky enough to get the bottom of the container for a

couple of vaccines at once, he could be walking away with double,

triple, quadruple the mercury that was intended?

lesser dose) and that the amount of aluminum varied from dose to dose

by a factor of 9 (and this was in a small sample). So one dose might

have 10 mcgs of aluminum (totally hypoethetical) but another dose from

the same lot in a different vial would contain 90 mcgs of aluminum.

If you ask any production chemist- they will tell you that thimerosal forms a gradient in the production batch (true for cosmetics as well as vaccines)- and the concentration of thimerosal in a sample will vary as a consequence of where a sample is taken from within the batch (in some cases 2-3 fold). It is rarely, if ever, consistent throughout the entire batch. It is in the nature of the solubility of thimerosal and the measures taken to mix the batch.

Within a batch- a gradient.

Within a vial- a gradient.

The poor kids who received the highest concentration of thimerosal in the vial from that portion of a batch with the high concentration of thimerosal are the most unlikely of all.

So when the gov't says the max dose is safe - shouldn't they be

tripling that max dose to account for the variability in the mercury

load?

What the government should do is get all of the mercury out.

They should be working on new technologies to provide vaccines without relying on thimerosal. That should be done by the NIH.
