Most vaccines are pointless but seldom lethal.

Maybe that explains some of the brain damage in gold-mining country of Northern California.

Someone should do a remake of Deliverance but with Democrats as the cretins.

If you know the poor mans way of separating gold from silt, then yes brain damage would almost always happen.

Still done, IIRC, in some places in South America. Use mercury to dissolve the gold out of the silt, then boil off the mercury right in the open air.

Nonsense.

When I was a kid, we had a vial of mercury downstairs is the basement workroom. Every once in a while, we’d take the chunk of metal and drop it in the palm of our hand and watch is slowly melt. Then we’d roll it around a bit, and watch it flow like water around our hand. Then pour it back in the bottle, where it would solidify again.

I must have done that every month for years. No side effects I can think of — if you don’t count the extra tonsil growing from my ear.

I saw this on History or Discovery and was amazed how these people just breath in the boiled mercury fumes like its nothing. A good operation of 3-5 people could bring in a couple hundred a day and in a poor nation that is a lot.

Are you sure that was mercury? AFAIK, mercury is a liquid at room temperature and wouldn't need the heat of your hand to melt it. I think there's another metal that does that but it isn't mercury.

Genuine mercury would not solidify at cool room temperatures. You might have had a mercury free alloy akin to Woods metal.

For safety they could observe a wide berth around the pan or pot until it has finished boiling (the heavy vapors would collect near the ground rather than filling the air), however that obviously opens up the possibility of robbery or theft of the contents.

Interesting how many posters in this thread think it is harmless for the government to inject babies with mercury.

Mercury should not be considered safe just because wacko liberals are SOMETIMES against it.

Sorry. That faked research was completely disproved and the ‘scientist’ who published the faked results has been dismissed from his position and was facing criminal charges last I read.

Tell that to the sufferers of polio and smallpox...oh wait, basically eliminated by the use of vaccines.

Interesting how many people didn't notice that autism rates have continued their rise even after mercury was removed from the vaccines many years ago.

No, basic scientific evidence has pointed to absolutely no harm attributed to decades of its use. Plus, the autism link was FAKED.

Here is gallium:

It melts at 85.6 degrees, much like M&Ms.

Mercury - thimerosol - certianly is still in many vaccines. The link below lists vaccines by type and manufacturer and you will see that many have thimerosol, as well as other goodies such as formaldehyde, human serum, aluminum compounds, and other stuff that I personally would never put into my bloodstream.

Components of Vaccines

Vaccines are made with a variety of ingredients including antigens, stabilizers, adjuvants, and preservatives; they may also contain residual by-products from the production process. Knowing precisely what is in each vaccine can be helpful when investigating adverse events following vaccination and for choosing alternative products for persons who have allergies or have had an adverse event known or suspected to be related to a vaccine component.

The following tables were prepared using information from the 2005-08 Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR), the manufacturer’s package inserts and ImmunoFacts by JD Grabenstein. Since package inserts can change and there are sometimes small modifications in the components, the most recent package inserts (links available in the tables) should be reviewed to verify specific information. The tables were prepared in July and August 2005 and have been updated.

Below are links to tables organized by Excipients, Allergens, and Vaccine Type.

Do you think the Obama kids get injected? My guess is, No way, José.
