“You’ve had a definitive test as far as I’m concerned regarding Thimerosal safety. I mean, that study that Bill Thompson performed at the CDC in 2007. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.[It] was a wonderful study. I think that stands as a definitive study.” —DR. PAUL A. OFFIT, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, interview in the film Trace Amounts

“I don’t know why they still give it [flu shots with Thimerosal]to pregnant women—that’s the last person I would give mercury to . . . Thimerosal causes tics . . . do you think a pregnant mother would take a vaccine that they knew caused tics? . . . Absolutely not! I would never give my wife a vaccine that I thought caused tics.” —DR. WILLIAM THOMPSON, CDC senior scientist,author of multiple studies used to claim Thimerosal is safe,recorded phone conversation with Dr. Brian Hooker, May 8, 2014

“Now, we all know that vaccines can occasionally cause fevers in kids. So if a child was immunized, got a fever, had other complications from the vaccines. And if you’re predisposed with the mitochondrial disorder, it can certainly set off some damage. Some of the symptoms can be symptoms that have characteristics of autism.” —DR. JULIE GERBERDING, CDC director (2001–2009),president, Merck Vaccines (2009–present),interview with Sanjay Gupta on CNN, March 29, 2008

“It’s hard to defend any of these actions [described by Dr. William Thompson about the internal workings of the CDC] and I am troubled because I worked hard with distinguished partners over six years to significantly increase the effectiveness of CDC vaccine safety. My efforts were rejected by both Bush and Obama [administrations]. The Thompson material is an incident and without support from his old or current colleagues will not motivate the CDC [to] reevaluate its program. I will continue to follow developments. We all know that the child vaccine program has significantly increased and that there are some children who will be affected. Predicting who is the ongoing challenge for the CDC and FDA.” —BOB WRIGHT, cofounder and chairman of the board of Autism

Glad you posted this, Jan.
I’ve followed this issue closely since my children were of vaccination age during the early 90’s.
Vaccination is not a strict black & white pro vs con issue.
Pro vaccination proponents often condesendingly deride vaccine skeptics as medically ignorant, lacking appreciation for lives saved by vaccinating against deadly diseases, such as smallpox.
Today’s vaccine skeptics need to very clearly make the case that the issue we have with vaccines is informed consent with safety side-effects, and the fact that since the early 90’s American childhood protocol subjects a child to 49 doses of 16 different vaccines by age six.
Most other first world countries have not adopted such an aggressive vaccination schedule due in part to concerns about overwhelming a child’s immunological and neurological systems, and causing serious permanent injury.
Recently Pharma and the medical establishment have pushed single visit multiple vaccines to the extreme. Today’s MMR now is combined with three other vaccines, subjecting very young child to SIX vaccines in one shot.
Why?
Pharma and physicians benefit from combining as many vaccines as possible into one vaccination visit, for convenience and productivity, ie: spend less time scheduling, administering and billing for conservative issuance of separate vaccines given over a span of time.
Please note, that Pharma is also immune from lawsuits and paying injury damages thanks to related legislation that established the government’s vaccine injury fund, which has paid out over $2,000,000,000 in the last two+ decades.
