Pharma Reticent About Mercury, Vaccine Damage
According to the ARHP - Alliance for Human Research Protection, Merck knew about vaccine damage but did little or nothing to either alert the public or change vaccine formulation for years. The information comes from a leaked memo written in 1991, referred to by the Los Angeles Times in an article on 8 February. The memo, written by a former Merck scientist calculated that 6-month-old children who received their shots on schedule could receive a mercury dose up to 87 times higher than the guideline for the maximum daily consumption of mercury from fish.
AHRP points to the FDA's failure to carry out its watchdog responsibility to protect the public from unsafe drugs, which has encouraged the pharmaceutical industry to conceal the risks and deceive the public. Like the tobacco industry, and gun manufacturers, drug manufacturers have been cashing in by marketing products they know pose serious, life-threatening health hazards. Since 1990 fourteen drugs have been withdrawn from the US market because they were unsafe-but not before they killed, as reported by The Economist.
In a follow up report, the LA Times reported that contrary to a 1999 public announcement by Merck, "Now, Merck's infant vaccine line is free of all preservatives," the company continued to distribute mercury laced vaccines as late as 2002.- - -
Merck' reputation suffered irreparable damage when it was revealed that Merck failed to dislcose the risk of heart attacks and strokes linked to the painkiller, Vioxx. The revelations about the baby vaccines show another instance of deceptive marketing: Congressman Dave Weldon, a Florida Republican and a physician, said what Merck did was "misleading." "You had people literally into 2002 getting shots with mercury, having been told it was all taken out in 1999."
Since immunizations are mandatory, the Center for Disease Control and the FDA bear even greater responsibility for ensuring that babies are protected from defective vaccines or vaccines containing hazardous substances.
More than 4,200 claims have been filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program by parents alleging that their children suffered autism or other neurological disorders from mercury in their shots. To shield Eli Lilly from liability in lawsuits for damage from its vaccines containing mercury, the White House had slipped into the Homeland Security Law a clause giving Lilly immunity. That clause, however, was repealed by Congress. See article on AHRP's site.
Mercury is not the only problem with vaccines, according to this book-length article: UNIVERSAL IMMUNIZATION - Medical Miracle or Masterful Mirage by Dr. Raymond Obomsawin. Effects range from brain injuries to genetic damage, immune dysfunction, cancer, autism and diabetes. But what's more serious, most of the diseases that are said to be prevented by vaccines were in steep decline even before vaccines were introduced. We are seeing a similar thing now with a vaccination for a million kids in New Zealand, promoted by the authorities with what can only be called fear mongering, while there are very few actual cases with numbers downtrending for over two years.
Another critical view on vaccination comes from Rebecca Carley, M.D. - INOCULATIONS: THE TRUE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION CAUSING VIDS (VACCINE INDUCED DISEASES). You can find that article on her site: http://www.drcarley.com/

Evelyn Pringle: Get Mercury Out Of Vaccines - NOW!
Thursday, 17 March 2005 SCOOP NZ
Mercury-based, thimerosal, used as a preservative in childhood vaccines until recently, is now being blamed for a host of neurological problems, including autism, ADD, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. The number of children with these problems can vary greatly depending on who you listen to, some experts say there are about eight hundred-thousand learning disabled children in the US, while others put the number as high as eight million, according to Dr Jay Gordon.Stealth Adapted Viruses Linked To Autism And Other Diseases

A lot of effort and resources within the autism community have been misdirected. Consequently, the epidemic continues.

September 02, 2005 By: Evelyn Pringle - Independent Media TV ?
Since the 1930s, mercury-based Thimerosal has been added to vaccines as a preservative to boost drug company profits by allowing vaccine makers to package in bulk instead of individual doses. According to newly discovered research, which was supported by a grant from the American Medical Association, government agencies have known for 60 years that Thimerosal was neither safe or effective, and that it should have been removed as a preservative in pharmaceutical products."For a long period mercurial compounds, such as bichloride of mercury, headed the list of chemical which were thought to be effective in the killing of microorganisms," it said. However, the authors basically state that Thimerosal as a preservative is useless, "It is not highly germicidal and especially does not possess high germicidal value in the presence of serum and other protein mediums. The loss of antibacterial activity of mercurials in the presence of serum proves their incompatibility with serum."
Research: Vaccine Ingredient Can Disrupt Immune System
March 21, 2006
For his research, Pessah used a mouse strain not particularly sensitive to mercury or other heavy metals, and introduced concentrations of thimerosal comparable to those attained in childhood vaccinations that contain the preservative. "What we found was rather unexpected," he said. "In fact, the dendritic cells seemed to be extremely sensitive to the effects of thimerosal." Specifically, the thimerosal disrupted the normal biological signals that take place in cells, Pessah said. At lower concentrations, the signal disruption caused an inflammatory response; at higher concentrations it caused cell death.
