Re: thimerosal, was eliminated from flu vaccines after 1999,(CDC spokesperson)

[Guest guest]

Perhaps the CDC is flat-out lying when stating " thimerosal was eliminated from

flu vaccines after 1999 " (1). IMO, people ought begin requesting fraud and

child-abuse investigations when CDC spokespersons make fraudulent statements

about thimerosal and its safety. The local newspapers should be notified of the

most recent CDC error/fraud, as should the prosecutorial agencies whose

jurisdiction includes the CDC's home campus. Perhaps some listmates can find

and post those email addresses.

keeping a positive attitude.

>

> Coffin wants people to quit worrying if they don't get the shot, which is in

said the chiropractor, whose patients have begun showing up at his office

wearing masks.

Boost your immune system, Nate Coffin advises.

>

> Health officials say the primary strain of flu this year is different than the

virus strains in the vaccine, though the viruses share some characteristics and

the shot may provide 50 percent protection. The flu season arrived earlier this

year, and children are being especially hard hit.

>

> " It creates this fear and uncertainty of, 'If I don't get the flu shot, my

kids are going to die,' " Coffin said.

>

> People should worry less about the virus and more about their immunity, he

adds.

>

> " You're probably carrying a lot of these viruses and bacteria around anyway.

If your immune system is weak, it will hit you, " Coffin said. " If your immune

system is intact and strong, it probably won't. "

>

> The chiropractor said he has never gotten the flu shot and never had the flu.

He also did not get the vaccine for his 4-year-old son and 23-month-old

daughter.

>

> To ward off the flu, Coffin urges exercise, adequate rest and a diet low in

sugar and carbohydrates. He also recommends chiropractic adjustments - for

babies and children, too - to maintain the integrity of the nervous system,

which is tied to the immune system. And don't forget the power of the mind-body

connection, he said.

>

> " If this thing is going around, the paranoia multiplies and builds on itself, "

said Coffin, who takes a daily dose of cod liver oil. " Fear is a horrible way to

motivate people. "

>

> Dr. Frykman, San Bernardino County's chief of disease control and

prevention, agrees that a healthy lifestyle is good for general well-being. But

the vaccine is the best protection from the flu, he said.

>

> " The benefit from a vaccine is that it can help your body build immunities

before that organism ever gets in your body, " Frykman said. He cites the number

of deaths from diseases such as measles and diphtheria, which dropped

dramatically after immunizations were introduced.

>

> Coffin adheres to the advice of ph Mercola, an osteopathic physician,

author of " The No-Grain Diet " and the force behind www.mercola.com, a Web site

on natural health.

>

> Mercola said the flu vaccine is ineffective because most Americans' immune

systems are impaired by diets rich in sugars, grains and processed and fast

foods.

>

> " Putting so much faith and credence in a single vaccine against the flu is

like fireproofing one door in your house when the rest of your home is saturated

in gasoline, " Mercola writes.

>

> " A vaccine won't save you from the flu ... because your underlying defenses -

your immunity - are seriously dysfunctional, and there are far too many

potential 'invaders' to ward off via the artificial means of vaccination. "

>

> Mercola also said the vaccine is inherently bad because it contains aluminum,

phenol and mercury. But a Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman said the

vaccine does not contain aluminum or phenol.

>

> Most of the mercury-containing preservative, thimerosal, was eliminated from

flu vaccines after 1999, though some manufacturers use it in trace amounts, said

Rhonda , spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

>

> " There's no evidence it causes problems in children or adults, other than mild

swelling at the injection site, " she said.

>

> Mercola is concerned that the CDC has broadened its recommendations for who

should be immunized. In addition to people older than 65 and those with chronic

diseases that weaken immunity, healthy children ages 6 months to 23 months and

pregnant women who will be in their second or third trimester during flu season

should be vaccinated, according to government guidelines.

Start by confronting them on their big lie. Tell them to stop lying.

Tell them this is not true and demand they look into it, write your

state representative and demand they require this person to stop lying

as a condition of continuing employment, and that they write this

person and ask them why they think it is OK to lie about important

public health issues.
