>

>CoMeD Challenges U.S. Government on

>Mercury in Vaccines

>

>WASHINGTON, D.C., October 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/

> - CoMeD - As vaccine safety advocates prepare for United

>Nations (U.N.) negotiations to develop a global legally

>binding instrument on mercury, the Coalition for Mercury-Free

>Drugs (CoMeD), a grassroots coalition of physicians, researchers

>and parents, is challenging U.S. policy that sanctions the use

>of mercury (Thimerosal) in vaccines and other drugs.

>

>The negotiations, to be held Oct. 31 through Nov. 4 in Nairobi,

>Kenya, seek to improve controls on environmental and medicinal

>uses of mercury.

>

>At a D.C. stakeholders meeting at the U.S. State Department on

>August 18, 2011, CoMeD took issue with its filing of an

>anonymous document, " Scientific Information Regarding the Use

>of Thimerosal As a Preservative in Vaccines " with the U.N.,

>which claimed that this use of Thimerosal in vaccines is " safe "

>and " effective " .

>

> " You're telling me that a substance so toxic it is illegal to

>put it on your skin, is somehow safe for injection into

>pregnant women and children at the same level? " asked Rev.

> Sykes, CoMeD's President.

>

>In response to the U.S. government's continuing refusal to

>recognize Thimerosal as a neurodevelopmental toxin, CoMeD

>submitted its science-supported response, " A Reconsideration

>of Fact " , to the U.N., demonstrating that the U.S. has:

> a) provided little scientifically sound information and

> made unfounded and dangerous claims regarding Thimerosal's

> safety for use as a " preservative " in vaccines.

>

>The issue of mercury in vaccines and other drugs has

>increasingly become a focus of these U.N. Negotiations, because,

>as Dr. Mark Geier declared at the State Department meeting,

> " Most developed countries are removing Thimerosal from all of

>their vaccines, while developing countries continue to be

>supplied with mercury-containing vaccines. "

>

>While the U.S. and some other developed nations continue to

>defend the use of Thimerosal, the African Group within the

>U.N. Treaty Negotiations has declared: " The use of mercury

>in pharmaceutical products where alternatives exist should

>also be prohibited. Existing stocks should not be sold to

>the developing world. "

>

>On behalf of the United Methodist Church, Harriett Olson,

>Deputy General Secretary of the Women's Division of the

>United Methodist Church, stated for the record: " To

>safeguard all persons from the unnecessary and often

>undisclosed administration of a known neurotoxin and

>carcinogen through their medicines is a cause worthy

>of both the faith community and the diplomatic body which

>gathers to write a global legally binding instrument on

>mercury. "

Please share this assessment with others who seek

to understand the facts about Thimewrosal in vaccines,

and the current inoculation programs as well as the

tactics of the anonymous vaccine apologists and acolytes

who wrote the document that is reviewed -- a document

that distorts, misrepresents and lies about the toxicity

of Thimerosal when it is used as a preservative in

vaccines.

Thanking everyone in advance for all of your efforts,

no matter how small, to spread this document to the

four corners of the Earth. this reviewer remains ...

Respectfully,

G. King, PhD
