According to this researcher, it will come out that mercury was NOT removed from all vaccines. The legal implication are significant for those products that did not have the mercury removed. Right now, without any more detailed information, I cannot see where this researcher has any axe to grind but we had discussed this for 3/4 years and he, like many others, was surprised that ALL the mercury had not been removed from all the vaccines.
The absolute truth is so hard to find today as people lie so much.
Let's establish that either this 'researcher' you mention is in error - or that the following info found on the CDC's "Mercury and Vaccines (Thimerosal) FACT SHEET" is in error:
Mercury and VaccinesGranted, they do admit to 'no or trace amounts in routinely recommended licensed vaccines', but, THIS would still not explain any rising rates in autism and other effects (as others have pointed out earlier in this post).
(Thimerosal)FACT SHEET
Key Messages
Thimerosal is a preservative which contains a type of mercury called ethylmercury. Thimerosal has been used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's to help keep them safe by preventing bacterial contamination.
The level of mercury exposure from vaccines is low. There is no evidence to suggest that thimerosal in vaccines causes any health problems in children and adults other than minor reactions like swelling at the injection site.
In July 1999 the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that thimerosal be taken out of vaccines as a precautionary measure.
All routinely recommended licensed vaccines that are currently being manufactured for children in the U.S. (except influenza) contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts.
Influenza (flu) vaccine from some manufacturers still contains thimerosal.
Facts
Mercury is a metal that occurs naturally and is found everywhere in the environment. There are different types of mercury. Thimerosal contains approximately 49% ethylmercury.Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), varicella (chickenpox), and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) have never contained thimerosal.
The Institutes of Medicine (IOM) thoroughly reviewed all studies of thimerosal and concluded that there is not enough evidence to determine whether or not neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and speech or language delay) can be caused by thimerosal exposure from childhood vaccines. A recent study conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) concluded that mercury levels in the blood of babies that received vaccines with thimerosal remained well below levels considered acceptable by the EPA. Furthermore, ethylmercury (thimerosal) seems to be removed from the body quickly through the gastrointestinal tract (stools).
Research examining relationships between thimerosal and neurological disorders (such as speech and language delay, tics, and ADHD) have not been conclusive. Studies to examine these issues are ongoing.
