Pediatricians Want to Keep Thimerosal in Vaccines Despite Health Risks

The American Academy of Pediatrics (APP) has released a statement in favor of Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that is detrimental to the health of everyone who is vaccinated.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the APP are collaborating to say that
Thimerosal should not be banned as an ingredient in vaccines in the US
as well as a proposed banning of the toxin coming from the United
Nations.

Dr. Louis Cooper from Columbia University states that research shows that Thimerosal does cause harm to children.

In 2004, the US Institute of Medicine conducted a safety review that
found no evidence was viable to state that Thimerosal is connected to
the soaring incidents of autism. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) concurred with this finding in a study released in 2010.

Thimerosal is ethyl mercury that has dramatic toxic effects against the
health of the human body. The UN Environmental Program (UNEP) has listed mercury as a global health hazard. The UNEP would like to see a treaty that protects against Thimerosal be created.





The Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs has
provided the UNEP with researched evidence that outlines without
dispute that Thimerosal is dangerous to the human body from exposure in
vaccines and dental fillings that contain mercury-based silver amalgam.
With this research, the UNEP has a plan to phase out Thimerosal because
of its attachment to neurological disorders, autism and other health
disorders.

WHO stated earlier this year that they would consider replacing
Thimerosal, before completely changing their minds and supporting the
use of this mercury-based preservative which is known to be highly
toxic. This would save 84 million children in under-developed nations
that are exposed to Thimerosal through vaccine initiatives propagated by
the UN and WHO.

Dr.
Walter Orenstein, associate director of the Emony Vaccine Center at
Emony University decries that in nearly 2 decades of research there is
no conclusive “evidence of significant harm . . . from use of thimerosal
in vaccines.”

The EVC is affiliated with other interested groups that would benefit from keeping a mercury-based preservative in vaccines such as:

• CDC
  
• AVAC, funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
  
• National Institutes of Health
  

Orestein asserts:
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Reducing mercury exposure is a wonderful thing. [However], we need this
exception because thimerosal is so vital for protecting children.</blockquote>
Propaganda studies have suggested that
children of mothers who had two or more instances of flu had a
doubled-risk of being diagnosed with autism prior to the age of 3; as
well as simply having a fever. Also attributed to the development of
autism in children were the uses of a pharmaceutical-grade anti-biotic
during pregnancy.

This study gives governmental agencies like the CDC an excuse to
disregard scientific data correlating autism to the use of
mercury-based preservatives like Thimerosal to the onset of autism.
Other alarmist researchers claim these findings are “noteworthy” because
of the extensive range of mother and children interviewed. The fact
that the conclusions are bogus does not register with these so-called
experts.

In 1997, a study which proved the link between autism and vaccines was
ignored by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and suppressed by the
CDC.

Laura Hewitson, Ph.D. and lead researcher, studied macaque monkeys that
were given the exact same MMR vaccine as children in 1994 – 1999. The results entitled
“Influence of pediatric vaccines on amydgala growth and opioid ligand
binding in rhesus macaque infants: A pilot study” were published in Acta
Neurobiological Experiments in 2010. This vaccine has the mercury based
preservative Thimerosal.

Hewitson discovered that:
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Vaccine-exposed and saline-injected control infants [monkeys] underwent
MRI and PET imaging at approximately 4 and 6 months of age, representing
two specific timeframes within the vaccination schedule . . . These
results suggest that maturational changes in amygdala volume and the
binding capacity of [11C]DPN in the amygdala was significantly altered
in infant macaques receiving the vaccine schedule.</blockquote>
The research paper documented that there were significant biological
changes and altered behaviors that occurred in the vaccinated monkeys
that were identical to children diagnosed with ASD (autism).

Sufferers of autism develop a broad spectrum of symptoms ranging from:

• Mild social awkwardness
  
• Asperger’s syndrome
  
• Profound mental retardation
  
• Debilitating repetitive behaviors
  
• Inability to communicate
  

The unvaccinated monkey exhibited no changes or symptoms whatsoever.





In 2003, a study came out of Denmark that showed that
when doctors stopped using vaccines that contained the mercury-based
Thimerosal, the incidents of autism began to dramatically reduce. When
the study was published by the CDC, the agency changed the findings to
say that the removal of Thimerosal was actually the direct cause of the
rising autism rates.
