I wrote the Tennessean Editors:

It appears that Tennessee Department of Health officials and St. Jude's

Children's Research have some explaining to do to the people of the state of

Tennessee, and after personally hearing some of their unconscious political

garble I think it might be a good idea to send them back to the university level

for a few semesters of remedial chemistry and toxicology.

So what exactly did they do?

Inexplicably, together they joined forces with the global drug lobby taking a

dangerous pro-mercury political position and not budging from it until state

legislators were forced to withdrawal a bill, HB 956, which would effectively

ban mercury from all infant and childhood vaccines from Tennessee.

This mercury ban is important because of a product called thimerosal, a vaccine

additive which by weight is 49.6% ethylmercury. Despite public assurances of

safety, many mandatory vaccines infants receive still have untold amounts of

mercury in them.

Mercury is known to medical science as the most potent neuro-toxic substance

there is. Unlike any other heavy metal, even at extremely low concentrations,

mercury causes brain neuron degeneration.

When government increased the course infant vaccinations to include some 33

shots before age two in the early 1990s a mistake was made. According to

Congressional testimony by vaccine experts, the amount of ethylmercury being

injected into the thighs of our babies per shot was too difficult to calculate

based on the package insert literature which usually comes folded up with the

vaccine. The candid reason for the difficulty was ethylmercury levels in the

vials were stated as a percentage of total volume and not in micrograms.

In short, no one on the illustrious vaccine panels could honestly do the

calculation necessary to determine that throughout the 1990s American infants

were getting excessive amounts of mercury via mandatory vaccination. During this

decade rates of autism, a mysterious neurological illness, went from one child

per ten thousand live births to where it has been standing for the last two

years at one in one hundred sixty-six live births. One in six American children

are in some sort of developmentally delayed school program. At schools across

the country we no longer have special class, we have special wing.

To further the embarrassment to government authorities, when the reality of

mercury poisoning our babies set in, they rushed to figure out just how much

ethylmercury was safe for infants. It was only then that some important vaccine

person discovered that no safe level of exposure for ethylmercury had ever been

established by the Food and Drug Administration.

Trying to resolve this mercury in vaccines crisis, the federal experts met. For

expedience the experts agreed to " borrow " an EPA exposure standard for tuna

mercury, which subsequent clinical follow-up research conducted by the

government has concluded to be quite unacceptable.

Today, some seven years after discovering there was no safe exposure standard

for ethylmercury, government authorities have yet to take an interesting in

establishing one. Two separate citizen's petitions to the FDA requiring them to

prove the safety of ethylmercury have been " lost " . We can only guess why.

The bottom line is not every game of chance has been designed to produce a

winner. Unfortunately, in different times within different cultures less

civilized people cast lots or rolled bones to determine which of their children

would be brutally bludgeoned and left to bleed to death upon graven altars.

According to their mythology and excavations, today we understand they thought

this was necessary to bring the rains and another bountiful harvest. We clearly

understand this is not true, but to them survival required a sacrifice.

By counter-lobbying the concerned citizens supporting HB 956, the state

Department of Health and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital become

stumbling blocks to the advance of medicine and do not serve the public

interest. The TDOH and St. Jude's also reveal they are incredulous to mercury's

well-known toxic effects, choosing rather to accept that successful vaccination

as a part of public health policy involves the secular sacrifice of some

children in order to protect the rest of us.

I urge all Tennesseans to get in touch with your state legislators in Nashville

today and tell them to ban thimerosal.

[ ] HB0956 withdrawn today

Update on today's TN vaccine Bill HB 956:��

April 25, 2006

'Safe Vaccines for Tennessee's Child Act'

Sponsor, Rep. Lynn,

made a clear presentation with irrefutable

scientific documentation

that thimerosal (mercury) IS poison & SHOULD BE

outlawed in vaccines

in TN (as it has now been banned in CA, NY, DE,

IL, IO, MO, & NJ).

She then acknowledged that she KNEW the bill

could NOT be passed in

TN this year and WITHDREW it. Parents were in

disbelief & shock.

Please let any media contacts know TODAY (front

page news) that

'The TN Dept. of Health & St. Jude Childrens'

Research Hospital can

quit worrying about the 'SAFE VACCINES IN TN�

BILL' (which they

lobbied AGAINST--although they aren't supposed to

lobby if they

receive federal monies--according to the CDC site

at:

http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/Addtl_Reqmnts.htm#ar12

(AR-12 on pages 5 & 6--if you want to print out a

copy) But they did.

http://www.debityree.com/stjudememotonaifeh.pdf

Also, this was a serious conflict-of-interest for

TN House Speaker

Democrat Jimmy Naifeh from Tipton County who led

the fight against

the 'Safe Vaccines Bill'--since he is married to

a pharmaceutical

lobbyist (Betty )

http://www.answers.com/topic/james-naifeh

His district should really consider this at the

polls next time!

HB0956 had AT LEAST 1 more committee to go (a

committee that Speaker Naifeh is on)

& then to a Governor who probably wouldn't have

signed

it anyway. It's been a long, drawn-out battle for

parents--making weekly trips to the Capitol only

to be disappointed repeatedly by

political games played by committee members &

Chairman Hargrove.

THANK YOU to all who participated in this battle

for safer vaccines.It's over. We lost.� Please

spread the word, TN has rejected SAFER(no

mercury) vaccines. And, parents, educate BEFORE

you vaccinate. Wewill NOT vaccinate (ESPECIALLY

not in TN). You decide for yourfamily. And,

ALWAYS ask to see the ingredient list. Thimerosal

has

been 'voluntarily' removed, for awhile, from some

vaccines. Aluminum,

MSG formaldehyde, & aborted fetal tissue (MMR)

are still in others.

� � � � � � Ginger Shamblin,

President TN4SaferVaccines.tripod.com/

P.S. Also, please express your gratitude to Rep.

Lynn--she has taken

a terrible beating on this one! If you can, send

her a hand-written

thank you note (or even flowers) to:

Inserted by Debi:

I was told by my Democrat friends as well as

Speaker Naifeh's staff that he has been horribly

hateful and meanspirited toward Representative

Lynn regarding those who have faxed, called, and

emailed him regarding this bill. It is also my

understanding that he accused those who sponsored

the bill as being responsible for the calls,

emails, and faxes.

I would like to state for the record, that it was

his own party who notified *me* of his dealings,

as well as that of his wife, the lobbyist. While

I apologise on behalf of anyone who resorted to

name-calling, I stand by our rights that he works

for US, not us working for him. As well, I was

told by his Democrat friends that they do not

like people asking them to support this bill.

Evidently, many of our own Representatives have

forgotten that they do our bidding and we have a

clear right, if not obligation, to speak for our

causes.

My apologies to Representative Lynn if Speaker

Naifeh is so niave of the political process as to

assume those in his own party and office are not

fed up with his grandstanding that he believed

she was involved; Representative Lynn had no role

in Jeff Ransom or my request that my beloved and

oppressed vaccine injured community make our

voices hear.

IF you would like to send Speaker Naifeh your

polite rebuttal regarding his continual

obstruction of the political process (Since

Represntative Lynn is not involved in this,

please leave her out of it), here's his contact
