FDA admits in court case that vaccines still contain mercury

FDA admits in court case that vaccines still contain mercury








(NaturalNews) It is a common myth today that the vaccines administered
to children no longer contain the toxic additive thimerosal, a
mercury-based preservative linked to causing permanent neurological
damage. But a recent federal case involving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has revealed that, contrary to this widely-held belief,
thimerosal is actually still present in many batch vaccines, including
in the annual influenza vaccine that is now administered to children as
young as six months old.

Filed by a citizen-backed coalition advocating vaccine safety, the
lawsuit against the FDA alleged that the agency's continued endorsement
and approval of thimerosal as a vaccine additive is a serious public
health threat, especially since safer alternatives already exist and
are widely used voluntarily by many vaccine manufacturers. But Judge
Brett Kavanaugh, siding with antiquated pseudoscience, decided that
thimerosal is not a health threat, and that those who wish to avoid it
can simply choose thimerosal-free alternatives.

Ignoring the evidence of thimerosal's dangers brought before him on
behalf of the millions of children across the country who continue to
be injected with this mercury-based additive, Judge Kavanaugh declared
that the plaintiffs, which include groups like the Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs
(CMFD), did not have proper standing to file the lawsuit. And in the
process, both he and the FDA inadvertently admitted that thimerosal is
still present in many childhood vaccines, which counters popular claims
to the contrary.

FDA admits on its website that thimerosal is still in vaccines

The
fact that Judge Kavanaugh refused to hear the case is tragic in and of
itself, as thimerosal, which is composed of 50 percent mercury, has
been proven to cause serious health damage. But what may be even worse
is the fact that many people falsely believe that thimerosal is not
even included in vaccines anymore, which is leading them to blindly
allow them to be administered to their children. And the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) and the FDA have continued to provide dubious and misleading
information on the subject, which the mainstream media has been
complicit in spreading over the years.

But the FDA explains, in no uncertain terms, directly on its website
that thimerosal is still added to certain vaccines. For this reason
alone, it is crucial that parents who choose to vaccinate their
children ask for an ingredients list for each and every vaccine before
allowing them to be administered to their children.

"While the use of mercury-containing preservatives has declined in
recent years with the development of new products formulated with
alternative or no preservatives, thimerosal has been used in some
immune globulin preparations, anti-venins, skin test antigens, and
ophthalmic and nasal products, in addition to certain vaccines," writes
the FDA on its Thimerosal in Vaccines page (http://www.fda.gov).

Don't believe the lie: Thimerosal is eventually converted by the body into highly-toxic inorganic mercury

Another
myth often spread by thimerosal advocates claims that the ethylmercury
compounds that compose roughly 50 percent of the preservative are not
actually harmful because they are different from the type found in a
can of tuna. But a comprehensive review conducted by Dr. Paul G. King
has proven otherwise, showing that ethylmercury is first metabolized by
the body into toxic methylmercury, which is then metabolized into
inorganic mercury (http://www.infowars.com).

Both methylmercury and inorganic mercury are listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as toxic substances responsible for causing neurological
problems, brain disorders, nervous system illnesses, gastrointestinal
problems, kidney failure, respiratory illness, and death (http://www.epa.gov/hg/effects.htm).
