Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 You are the chemist. I am on a group with chemist and no one seems to be able to answer my question... If 0.1mcg is the limit for " ingesting " mercury, What would be the limit for " injecting " mercury? One of the chemist did remark and said, Donna, the flu vaccine is in a shortage because of lawsuits. Of course he doesnt have his facts straight, And I had to kindly let him know that, there is a special fund for vaccine injurys, and Pharma doesnt pay for the lawsuits, WE DO, We are charged and extra .75 on each vaccine that goes into this fund. But, if you could please let me know how much mercury you think as a chemist would/should be the limit for " injecting " into our bodies. Thank You, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, the EPA report has 2 flaws. One is they fudged the volume of distribution of methylmercury which is actually availble in th literature and their result should be 0.6 times what it is. Second the most impaired kids have low hair mercury and they used hair mercury based studies to decide how much was OK. Given that I'd say you have to lower their level by a factor of at least 3 to make it " safe. " Thus the injected amount that is " OK " is 0.025 mcg, not 25 mcg. Of course I think the correct amount is as close to zero as you can get it. > One of the chemist did remark and said, Donna, the flu vaccine is in > a shortage because of lawsuits.

Andy, When you say that the most impaired kids have low hair mercury, You need to remeber some have extreme high levels and are more impaired then the MOST toxic Autistic child. I think people forget about the ones with extreme high levels. If a child has a high level of 5mcg. This would be considered safe?? If a infant has a level of 13.78mcg This is EXTREME toxic level for a 17lb infant. This could be compared to a 121.58mcg for a 150 lb man. Well when you take into consideration a fetus has no blood brain barrier, I guess this would be much higher than that. Given that I'd say you have > to lower their level by a factor of at least 3 to make it " safe. " Thus > the injected amount that is " OK " is 0.025 mcg, not 25 mcg. Of course I > think the correct amount is as close to zero as you can get it. The Bayer Corporation makes a Rho (D) Immune Globulin product (BayRho) which in the past contained thimerosal; this product has been manufactured without preservative since 1996, so that no in- date BayRho contains thimerosal. Regarding the previously distributed product, the volume of a single dose of the Bayer product was approximately 0.7 ml. The thimerosal concentration was 0.01%, so the total mercury in a single dose would have been approximately 35 micrograms of ethyl mercury. http://www.fda.gov/cber/blood/mercplasma.htm Do you think a womans weight has anything to do with the distribution of Mercury when they are injected?
