Mercury remains in flu vaccine

The California Department of Public Health is using a rather flawed method to attempt to show the safety of the mercury vaccine preservative Thimerosal. Epidemiological studies are hardly science.

"Epidemiological studies" (group question-answer surveys) are done in much the same manner that producers use to secure "sets of answers" for the television show "Family Feud."

However, in this light, those who perform such studies would need to explain (from other epidemiological studies) why there has not been an "autism explosion" in Amish communities, who do not vaccinate their children.

For some reason, the FDA and CDC refuse to provide a routine safety study for Thimerosal which has been used in millions of doses of pediatric vaccines. Thimerosal was "grandfathered" into FDA vaccine use with rather pathetic data from the 1940s. The preschool vaccination schedule has increased from five or six shots in the 1980s to the present schedule of about 25.

If you "study or survey" the right group, you can find that Thalidomide is safe; if you "study or survey" the right group, you can find that Vioxx is safe. Out of 132 million doses of flu vaccine for the 2007-08 flu season, only 8 million doses are Thimerosal/ mercury free.

Many parents of autistic children (just in case the Center for Disease Control and the FDA are wrong again) have treated their children for mercury poisoning with moderate success. One possible source of mercury exposure could be flu/vaccine injections into the toddlers bloodstream.
