Are Vaccines To Blame For Autism?

Is this the same vaccine that had mercury in it?

[SolidWood]

With Hillary’s “health-care” for all, every American can look forward to strange mind-control “vaccines”.

Mercury/Childhood Vaccine Link

[wideawake]

Do you have a sane perspective on this?

[dawn53]

I think the mercury was in the thimerosal, so any vaccine that contained that component, also contained mercury. It has now been removed from all childhood vaccines, with the exception of the flu vaccine (if I remember right.)

[frithguild]

Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound (an organomercurial). Since the 1930s, it has been widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines, to help prevent potentially life threatening contamination with harmful microbes. Over the past several years, because of an increasing awareness of the theoretical potential for neurotoxicity of even low levels of organomercurials and because of the increased number of thimerosal containing vaccines that had been added to the infant immunization schedule, concerns about the use of thimerosal in vaccines and other products have been raised. Indeed, because of these concerns, the Food and Drug Administration has worked with, and continues to work with, vaccine manufacturers to reduce or eliminate thimerosal from vaccines.

No, they are not.

[sarasota]

Yes.

What is the real risk?
Without the vaccine what are the risks of blindness, deafness and even death?

You’re fast! Thank you for the link, which apparently answers “yes” to your question.

My thought is that the government has already had two generations with which to experiment using these ‘wonder drugs,’ meaning I wonder if there is nothing they won’t stoop to!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Thanks to all 3 of you.

Yes, thirmersol is mercury and was used in numerous vaccines up until a couple of years ago. It hasn’t been completely phased out yet, though. For example, it is still in flu shots, unless you ask for preservative free.

I thought the only risk associated with measels was that it could make you sterile or cause birth defects if contracted by a pregnant woman.

[SoftballMominVA]

The parents of 12-year-old Michelle Cedillo asked a federal court Monday to find that their child's autism was caused by common childhood vaccines.

.....

Large scientific studies have found no association between autism and vaccines containing thimerosal.

So this family wants a judge to make a link, when the scientific community does not? Do most judges have the qualifications to read the scientific data, reports, studies, and then determine causation? How incredible that this judge appears to be so much more qualified than professional scientists.

Thimerisal contains mercury.....and these lawsuits are the reason my company phased out thimerisal in our TD vaccines....going for single-dose vials instead.

You might be thinking of this other fellow.

 

"His medical achievements were outstanding. In 1530 he angered the city council of Nurnberg by writing the best clinical description of syphilis up to that time, maintaining that it could be successfully treated by carefully measured doses of mercury compounds taken internally. He stated that the "miners' disease" (silicosis) resulted from inhaling metal vapours and was not a punishment for sin ... "

See post 4, 7 and 16. This is the one I was thinking of.

If it makes anyone feel better......I read today, Bio-tech research firms and some drug companies are moving to China. (cheap labor including the doctors and scientists)

If the the vaccines and such aren’t already made there, they will be soon. (under *International* Standards)

[Froufrou]

But many parents say their children's symptoms did not show up until after their children received the vaccines, required by many states for admission to school.

While I understand your point, I think it's suspicious that the government established this fund to protect drug companies from lawsuits and yet that's almost what this is. You missed the part that said the science of these studies is now under question.
