vaccine story on news55- Long Island

[Guest guest]

The station is pretty small and they don't have a transcript or videolip on their website. But, feel free to send an email and thank WLNY for covering the Mercury Free Vaccines press conference held today in Nassau Co., NY.

Promo says : " local hospital works to make vaccines safer "

Story basically said: (paraphrasing here) medical experts say autism is 1 in 166 nationwide

Father Jim Crohan interviewed- says both his children could have gotton autism

from mercury in vaccines. He talks about how after their shots- changes- showed pictures of children.

Reporter says " experts say no link but, with the amount of concern Thimerosal should be taken out just on the safe side. Nassau Co. legislators have created a policy for mercury free vaccines "

Leg. Altmann (talking at podium) " If you get a vaccine from a Nassau Co. Health Facility you will not have mercury in your vaccine. "

Reporter ends with " removing mercury appears to be the way. "

Sellers was the reporter.

I would say the story was 98% anti-mercury side..... great job.

Please go to their website and say thanks for doing the story.

They were the only local television station there (as far as I saw).

News12 LI ran the story last night....

Thanks,
