Clear links to neurological disorders ignored,
removed from animal vaccines but fine for babies
By: Steve Watson
President Bush is to veto a bill that would ban
mercury in flu vaccines for children despite its
known links to autism and other neurological disorders
and despite the fact that he pledged in 2004 to
support such a move when campaigning for re-election.
The White House stated on Tuesday that President
Bush would veto the FY 2008 HHS-Labor-Education
Appropriations Bill because of the cost and "objectionable
provisions" such as a measure to ban the
use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal,
a mercury-based preservative, a press release
from Autism advocacy group Safe Minds on the PRNewswire-USNewswire
states.
Bush is calling for an amendment that would remove
the children's safety provision from the bill.
Safe Minds warns:
"Under the current administration, mercury
has been and will continue to be knowingly injected
into the youngest of American citizens. The controversial
mercury-containing preservative thimerosal has
been linked by thousands of parents as being the
cause of their children's mercury poisoning and
autism."
The flu vaccine, which continues to be manufactured
with mercury, is recommended for all pregnant
women, infants and children despite the fact that
the Institute of Medicine in 2001 recommended
against the policy of
exposing these same sensitive groups to thimerosal
containing vaccines.
Mercury is the second most toxic metal known to
man behind Uranium. Thimerosal is used in vaccines
not because it is good for you, but purely because
it prevents vaccine contamination. Yet some have
questioned why thimerosal is even considered for
vaccines because there are obviously safer alternatives
to preventing contamination. Questions also remain
about how pharmaceutical companies conduct vaccine
research and how the government regulates those
companies.
During Bush's reelection campaign in 2004 he stated:
"I support the removal of Thimerosal from
vaccines on the childhood national vaccine schedule.
During a second term as President, I will continue
to support increased funding to support a wide
variety of research initiatives aimed at seeking
definitive causes and/or triggers of autism. It
is important to note that while there are many
possible theories about causes or triggers of
autism, no one material has been definitely included
or excluded."
Despite this he now plans to veto a bill that
would remove Thimerosal because of "costs".
What costs would these be? Do the costs of big
pharmaceutical companies and fat government kickbacks
outweigh the costs of the healthy brains of every
child in America? Seemingly so.
Furthermore, though Bush stated that the evidence
for links between mercury laden vaccines and autism
are not concrete, there are scores of studies
and testimony from credible figures asserting
the exact opposite.
Starting in the early nineties, government regulators
dramatically increased the amount of Thimerosal
exposure to babies by adding two new vaccines
to the roster of mandatory immunizations children
must have before enrolling in school. The combination
of the Hepatitis B vaccine and the HiB vaccine
more than doubled the amount of mercury children.
Mercury expert Dr. Boyd Haley of the University
of Kentucky has testified before Congress and
the Pentagon as well as the FDA as one of the
nation's leading experts on Thimerosal and mercury
poisoning, revealing that his research leads him
to believe that some children are genetically
predisposed to storing mercury in their brains,
leading to neurological disorders, including autism.
The combination of the Hepatitis B vaccine and
the HiB vaccine more than doubled the amount of
mercury children in the 90s. "If you take
a ten-pound baby in, and it gets four shots on
that one day, which is a common practice - that's
equivalent to giving a 100-pound person forty
shots in one day," said Haley.
Haley has also proposed that Thimerosal in infant
vaccines was also the most likely toxic agent
involved in Gulf War syndrome and autistic spectrum
disorders. Think about this, they are injecting
into babies something that is breaking down the
bodies of full grown combat veterans.
While the FDA questioned thimerosal's safety in
the 80s, noting that it was "not safe for
'over-the-counter' topical use because of its
potential for cell damage", and while it
was removed from animal vaccines for the same
reason, the government regulatory committees did
nothing to question its use in childhood vaccines.
It's too dangerous for cats and dogs but the government
is happy for our babies to be pumped full of the
stuff on a regular basis.
Dr Haley has also pointed out that it is also
well known by any good biochemist that thimerosal
and aluminum react dangerously when combined together.
Given that Aluminum is a compound added to many
vaccines as a catalyst you would think the government
would have heeded this warning, yet it has still
done nothing.
Despite the continued reports doubting the link
between Thimerosal and autism, more studies have
continued to verify the link. As reported in the
Capitol Times recently:
A study done at the University of Washington in
2006 showed that baby primates exposed to injected
thimerosal (50 percent mercury), at a rate equal
to the 1990s childhood vaccine schedule, retained
twice as much inorganic mercury in their brains
as primates exposed to equal amounts of ingested
methylmercury. We know from autometallographic
determination that inorganic mercury present in
the brain, following the dealkylation of organic
mercury, is the toxic agent responsible for changes
in the microglial population and leads to neuroinflammation.
In other words thimerosal, inorganic mercury,
leads to neuroinflammatory disease which is proven
to be the underlying medical condition of autism.
Furthermore In a study done at the University
of Arkansas last year, autistic children were
found to have significantly lower levels of the
antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is the major
antioxidant needed for the elimination of mercury
at the cellular level.
Moreover, Professor Philippe Grandjean, from Harvard
University and the University of Southern Denmark,
considered the foremost scientific authority on
the development of children's brains, has recently
claimed that the average human IQ is plummeting
primarily due to IQ points in the population being
chemically destroyed via low level mercury exposure
in children.
The links between the ingestion of mercury and
neurological breakdown are clear and proven. Professors
all over the world are telling us outright that
it is literally destroying people's brains. Even
if you choose to believe, in the face of all the
evidence, that the links are still somewhat questionable,
the solution is still obvious. GET IT OUT OF THE
VACCINES NOW.
Safe Minds also point out that according to the
EPA, one in every six women of childbearing age
already has blood levels of mercury high enough
to cause neurological damage to their unborn children
due to environmental exposures alone.
"Injecting even more mercury into the bodies
of pregnant women, infants and children when it
is not a necessary component of vaccines is just
bad medicine," said Lyn Redwood, president
of Safe Minds and parent of a mercury-injured
child. "It defies logic that a flu vaccine
must be disposed of as a hazardous waste if it
is not used, but somehow injecting the same mercury-containing
vaccine into a baby is safe."
Yes it defies logic to someone who believes in
the unabated progression of the entirety of the
human race, however, to an elite devoid of all
morality and interested only in the endgame pursuit
of their own biological, spiritual and financial
monopoly over the whole planet, it makes perfect
sense.
