[SPAM?] Re: help with vaccine thesis statement

[Guest guest]

Henry,

So well put. However, after reading that my blood pressure is so

high I feel like I am going to pop.

Last month I spoke at State Legislative Hearings about my son, the

amount of thimerosal in his vaccines, his treatment, the fact that

he is now excreting mercury and his dramatic improvement. One of

the Congresswomen asked me when I was done, " where do you think your

son got all that mercury - other than his vaccines. You must have

lived near a power plant or something. "

I said, " no, I never lived near a power plant. But I did get a

devastating dose in my RhoGam shot "

She looked at me like I was speaking Swahili. Then she went on

about the coal fired power plants in my state - which are definately

a problem - but she is obviously not convinced that vaccine mercury

is dangerous.
