In preparation for swine-flu vaccinations next month, Washington's Health Department on Thursday temporarily suspended a rule that limits the amount of a mercury preservative in vaccines given to pregnant women and children under the age of 3.

The preservative, thimerosal, has never been linked to any health problems, said Secretary of Health Mary Selecky. But a vocal minority believes the compound could be linked to autism. The state Legislature adopted the limit in 2006.

Thimerosal has been eliminated from most vaccines in the United States, but it will be added to the bulk of the swine-flu vaccine being produced to stem a pandemic that health officials estimate could sicken more than a third of the state's residents.

Pregnant women and young children are considered at high risk for swine flu, and lifting the mercury limits will give them quicker access to the vaccine, Selecky said.

"It's vital that everyone in a high-risk group has the choice to be vaccinated when swine-flu vaccine becomes available," she said.

About 15 percent of the vaccine supply will be mercury-free, but people may have to wait longer for it to become available.

Mercury - temporarily the new 'white meat'...

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

I'd rather chance the swine flu than load up on mercury...

...ESPECIALLY if I was pregnant.

at least there is no mercury in my beer

cheers*)) ...have a wonderful sunny weekend...

But sadly Toronto public water system has fluoride so I am heading to the west coast where water is pure.

This is grounds for suit... Seattle knowing lifting this

which will ultimately result in horrible non-reversible side effects. I wish the celebrities like Jim Carey etc... would blow this wide open.

This is the totally incompetent on the part of Washington's...

Health Dept. What is their basis for unilaterally lifting this mercury ban?
This?:

"Pregnant women and young children are considered at high risk for swine flu, and lifting the mercury limits will give them quicker access to the vaccine, Selecky said." (and poison/kill them?)

This is really sick stuff, and great fodder for class-action lawsuits for litigious-minded people.

Another reason to keep the government out of health care

Because they don't know the first thing about medicine. This proves it again...mercury is now safe at higher levels because...it's politically convenient to have it safe at higher levels!

I agree

with you...

Well, if they're expecting people to line up in droves...

I got to know a lot of people from Washington State

freedom loving folks who are not afraid to question things so I doubt there will be big line-ups for flu shots there...

1. The vaccine contains squalene (MF59) which has not been tested for causing cancer.
2. The vaccine contains thimerosal, a known culprit in causing autism and neurological deficits.
3. The vaccine curiously contains nonoxynol-9 used in spermicides.
4. The vaccine will likely cause (and spread) the flu.
5. No neurological testing will be done to ensure the vaccine is safe from harmful neurological side effects.
6. Monitoring for safety will last 13 months, well beyond the flu season.
