Manufacturers mostly did NOT remove it until they were required to. And

many pediatricians used up all the stocks they could get, of

thimerosal-containing vaccines, until it was no longer available.

So it was entirely possible to still be given thimerosal-containing

vaccines way, way beyond 1999. Perhaps by about mid-2002, things had

truly changed.

The PHS and AAP joint statment contains the following language -- not

exactly a strong recommendation, to say the least:

On the one hand, there is the known serious risk of diseases and deaths

caused by failure to immunize our infants against vaccine-preventable

infectious diseases; on the other, there is the unknown and probably

much smaller risk, if any, of neuro-developmental effects posed by

exposure to thimerosal.

PHS and AAP continue to recommend that all children should be immunized

against the diseases indicated in the recommended immunization schedule.

Given that the risks of not vaccinating children far outweigh the

unknown and much smaller risk, if any, of exposure to

thimerosal-containing vaccines over the first 6 months of life,

clinicians and parents are encouraged to immunize all infants even if

the choice of individual vaccine products is limited for any reason.

Just as a real example:

My son was born in March 2001. In October 2001 our pediatric clinic

issued a statement and newspaper article saying they ordered

Thimerosal-free vaccines for our children in the name of safety.

My son continued to receive thimerosal-laden shots from that clinic

until September 2002. At that point, his 18 month shots were

completed so we didn't 'need' anymore. Who knows how much longer it

took for the clinic to use up their old stock?

Never dawned on me to question the shots after the advertisement.

Just a trustworthy mom trying to protect her child! What a joke.

We know of a child in Iowa who became heavily poisoned in 2004.

Our twins were exposed to hg through flu shots in 2004 and we've

been having issues with it, though the GF/CF diet is helping. We're

not sure about their other vaccinations, if any were " hot " batches.

As it stands, dh and I have zero trust if a doctor says that a

vaccine is " no mercury-added " or not. Lol, unless they let us take a

sample to a lab to get it tested, but I can't see any of the pedi's

around here agreeing to that. Maybe an osteopath would agree. We had

our children's blood titers (blood test seeing if the child has

developed immunity to diseases they were vaccinated for) done

to " prove " that they're immune to everything so that we don't have

to argue with anyone about whether they have to get boosters later.

They won't be getting boosters.

Why wasn't the government liable when the NIMH posted on their

website that there was " no more mercury in pediatric vaccines " ?

Because of the flu shots alone, this was a huge lie and it turns out

there's still mercury in other childhood vaccines.

My son was born in November 2004. His last shot was given in spring,

2006. We found out in October, 2006 that he was autistic. His levels

were taken by the porphyrin test, and he is mercury poisoned. I don't

see how else he could have gotten it. Some of the lot numbers expired

that year, so I would expect that they were old.

How many mercury amalgam dental fillings do (did) you have? Do you live near a

coal-fired power plant? Any tattoos? Did you have any vaccines while pregnant?

Rhogam? Mercury passes the placenta, breastmilk, and the BBB.

I have no fillings, don't live near a coal-fired power plant that I

know of (we do have several chemical plants within 30 miles), no

tattoos, no vaccines while pregnant, no rhogam, never ate seafood,

etc. I did the porphyrin test and my levels were elevated, but not

poisoned. His levels are twice mine.

Er..I grew up a few miles from the 2 biggest coal power stations in

the UK. Do you get mercury from this??

Yep. I doubt the plants had high quality scrubbers...

If I were you I would find out what the chemical plants are, what their

emissions and violations are. Do you happen to live in a former gold mining

area?
