Flu Vaccines containing Thimerosal

NOTE: Thiomersal is the same as Thimerosal

I've been seeing the flu vaccination advertisments on TV and want to get the facts right so I can warn people of what I've heard. So I looked up Flu Vaccine on Wikipedia and under "Flu vaccine manufacturing" it says...

Most injection-based flu vaccines intended for adults in the United States still contain Thiomersal. Despite some controversy, the World Health Organization has concluded that there is no evidence of toxicity from thimerosal in vaccines and no reason on grounds of safety to change to more-expensive single-dose administration.

Then I looked at Thiomersal and found this...

Thiomersal (INN) (C9H9HgNaO2S), or sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate, commonly known in the United States as thimerosal, is an organomercury compound (approximately 49% mercury by weight) used as an antiseptic and antifungal agent.

Thiomersal is very toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and in contact with skin...

Few studies of the toxicity of thiomersal in humans have been performed. Animal experiments suggest that thiomersal rapidly dissociates to release ethylmercury after injection; that the disposition patterns of mercury are similar to those after exposure to equivalent doses of ethylmercury chloride; and that the central nervous system and the kidneys are targets...

Risk assessment for effects on the nervous system have been made by extrapolating from dose-response relationships for methylmercury. Methylmercury and ethylmercury distributes to all body tissues, crossing the blood-brain barrier and the placental barrier, and ethylmercury also moves freely throughout the body.

Then there's the sectoin on Autism, which says:

Many parents, and some scientists and doctors, believe there is a connection between thiomersal and autism.[16] More than 5,000 U.S. families have filed claims in a federal vaccine court alleging autism was caused by vaccines, most implicating thiomersal . . . The federal government agreed to award damages in one case, to a girl who developed autistic-like symptoms after receiving a series of vaccines, some of which contained thiomersal.

There's a whole page on the Thiomersal Controversy.

I would like to convince people that they don't need to risk their health with vaccinations. I never have them. My grandparents never had. And we don't get sick. But of course, so many people want to trust the doctors, the pharma-industry, and their governments.

Can anyone add any more hard evidence to this? If we could compile the best information we could send mass-emails and spread the truth.

My mom just got a drive through flu shot....

http://www.delcotimes.com...

Delaware County (Pennsylvania) residents can get a free flu shot at one of two Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinics being held in November: the first is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Middletown Fire Co., 425 S. Middletown Road (Route 352), Media, (Middletown Township); the second is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7 at the Tinicum Township Fire Co., 99 Wanamaker Ave., Essington.

The Drive-Thru Clinics are being operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Delaware County State Health Center, in partnership with Delaware County Council, the county Department of Intercommunity Health Coordination, and members of the Delaware County Flu Task Force.

All residents, ages 9 and older, are invited to drive through the firehouse bay, roll up their sleeve and receive an inoculation to protect against influenza this season.

“This is a great collaboration aimed at keeping our residents healthy this flu season,” said County Council Vice-Chairman Jack Whelan. “We did our first Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinic in November 2007, and it was a success. We provided flu shots to 300 residents who commended the clinic for its convenience and ease of access. Now that we offer two clinics, we should be able to reach more people.”

The Drive-Thru is being offered through the Delaware County Flu Task Force, organized last year to increase awareness and access for flu prevention. Partners include the county’s Department of Intercommunity Health Coordination, the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Delaware County State Health Center and members of the health care community.

Participants are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to a local food bank.

The best way to protect against the flu is by getting immunized. While health officials recommend that people go to their family physician for a flu shot, the Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinic is a good alternative for people who have difficulty with ambulation or people who are wheelchair-bound.

In addition, this Drive-Thru Flu Shot Clinic provides the Pennsylvania Department of Health with an opportunity to evaluate the efficiency of an alternate kind of mass vaccination clinic in the event of an influenza pandemic.

Are they passing out Kool-Aid as well?

Go ahead and keep having yourself and your family injected with their eugenics-soup.

I saw a commercial telling parents to get in contact with the CDC to see if you son is eligible for the gardisil shot. The one that "prevents" cervical cancer in women. Little kids. Smiling and having a good time. A shot. For boys. To protect girls? This country is so fucked up right now.

Excerpt from LewRockwell.com

Article by Donald Miller
http://www.lewrockwell.co...

After officials select the three strains of flu virus that they think are most likely to be circulating during the next winter season (they picked the wrong ones last year), vaccine makers grow the viruses in fertilized chicken eggs, with 500,000 eggs per day (each examined by hand) for up to eight months. Formaldehyde is used to inactivate the virus. It is a known cancer-causing agent. Aluminum is added to promote an antibody response. It is a neurotoxin that may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Other additives and adjuvants in the flu vaccine include Triton X-100 (a detergent), Polysorbate 80, carbolic acid, ethylene glycol (antifreeze), gelatin, and various antibiotics – neomycin, streptomycin, and gentamicin – that can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Two-thirds of the vaccines made for the 2008–09 flu season, 100 million of them, contain full-dose thimerosal, an organomercury compound, which is 49% mercury by weight. (An unidentified number of the other 50 million vaccines contain either "no" or "trace" amounts of thimerosal.) It is used to disinfect the vaccine. Each one of these 100 million flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury, a mercury content that is 50,000 part per billion, 250 times more than the Environmental Protection Agency’s safety limit. Mercury is a neurotoxin, which has a toxicity level 1,000 times that of lead.

There is some evidence that flu shots cause Alzheimer’s disease. This most likely is a result of combining mercury with aluminum and formaldehyde, which renders them much more toxic together through a synergistic effect than each would be alone. One investigator has reported that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a ten-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots (Int J Clin Invest 2005;1:1–4).

They are really pushing the flu shot

this year. I even had someone call my house, a clinic, to remind me to come in for a flu shot.

My family just had flu. I got it too. But I took Oscillococcinum which is a homeopathic immune builder and not a drug. I had flu for 24 hours, my daughter is going on her fifth day and still can't eat. They were throwing up often. I never did. Give it a try. It is good just for building your immunity. It is just sugar crystals that you allow to melt in your mouth.

That is awesome stuff.

To help combat a cold I use echinaccea, Astraguls & vitamin C. I swear it helps lessen the duration. I've moved more to homeopathic meds. Still need to research one to help combat my daughter's allergy induced asthma. Any suggestions?
"For with God nothing shall be impossible"

For your daughter's asthma

please look into the Buteyko method, a system developed by the late Dr. Buteyko. Simply put, it is relearning to breathe properly.
In Russia, it is now part of the government health care program and taught to those suffering from not just asthma but also emphysema, snoring and other respiratory problems.
It was brought to Australia in the mid 90's and other countries are being introduced.
The success is amazing, with many sufferers lessening their medication to being totally free from medication.

Please google for it. Can't seem to locate quickly the 1.5 hr long first introduction session which is available on youtube.
Please for your daughter's sake, I urge you to look into it.

Pls feel free to email me so I could give you many more contacts and info about this marvellous system which has helped so many people.

Update: link to the free introductory session 1hr.23 minutes http://video.google.com.a...

Also available in 17 shorter segments in youtube.

My experience

Asthma has triggers. Environmental such as pollen and mold . There are also foods, pets , smoke, They tend to build up to the point of putting one over the edge. You need to really be aware what is going to set it off. Keep the air clean with an air filter. Be real careful of the medication prescribed, I really believe if you educate yourself you won't need any of that crap that has side effects.

Thiomersal is bad stuff! I was shocked when I saw this video. . .

I never got a Flu shot

And to date have been fine..knock on wood. My advice is to consume your vitamins and minerals. I read that a big dose of Vitamin D will protect you better than the flu shot. After reading some of the tragedys from taking the shot I will never get one.

http://www.lewrockwell.co...

I'll be...

All these bad experiences with the govt. fully regulating the medical field, imagine that.
I recently had several "flu shot" deals in the area. There were several BIG SIGN TRUCKS advertising for this in addition to the truck they did it in. I looked at the fine print, and I think it was "Novartis", evidently the shot manufacturer going to all that expense. It didn't pass the smell test to me, and I shined it on. I'm a mechanic, and I guess I figure if YOU REALLY NEED a stater for your car, I'm not going to have to rent sign trucks to convince you, and anybody that does is probably going to get more than the 60$ for a starter that I get.
Nice to see my BS detector still works...:)

Hmmmm...

and that the central nervous system and the kidneys are targets...

I wonder if that would convince my doctors to stop bugging me about the flu shot. As a kidney transplant recipient, I'm immunosuppressed which means I'm at higher risk for catching the flu, which is why they want me to get the shot.

Apparently, the decision is "up to me", but she then proceeded to try to scare me with the fact that last year, a patient developed influenza pneumonia and spent 3 months in the hospital. That is what all the people in the flu pandemic of 1918 died of - it was the pneumonia that killed them.

My partner's dad

was seriously ill after receiving the flu shot, in intensive care for at least one week, with pneumonia. Since then, has moved from his own house into a care facility near the hospital as he was weakened beyond belief and not considered able to look after himself any longer. This happend last year, 2007.

I really would like to know if those who are advocating this

flu shot are having one themselves, or only getting paid for pushing it on to others. Freedom to anyone who wants the shot but stop pushing it and provide the full information so people can make informed decision.

http://vids.myspace.com/i...

http://www.dailypaul.com/...

and now they want to give the eldery higher doses of the flu vaccine :
(whole article, see http://www.urmc.rochester...)

Giving people age 65 and older a dose four times larger than the standard flu vaccine boosts the amount of antibodies in their blood to levels considered protective against the flu, more so than the standard flu vaccine does. The findings from a study of nearly 4,000 people were presented Oct. 26 at a national meeting on infectious diseases.

I have the thought that they want to take care of the many elderly who are not dying quick enough.

1976

That year, the flu shot was made mandatory by President Ford after a military man died from the swine flu. My mom was a teacher and we got our shots at the school at the same time. She was sick for two years with "unknown" medical problems. Me? I've had tons of neurological problems since then. I'm now disabled. Diagnosis? Unknown. Pain? Everyday. Can I prove that shot did it to me? Nope, but everything started after that day.. for me and my mother. I tell my story not to scare you, but for you to be informed that an adverse reaction is possible. Know the risks and then decide what is best for you. BTW only 22% of the population received the vaccination before it was pulled from the market, yet no one else got the swine flu.

very quickly

I am a health care professional who gives flu shots.

Yes, most flu shots still contain the full dose of thimerosal (mercury).

There are many shots available now that contain "trace" amounts.

There are some that are totally thimerosal-free.

These are the shots I give.

It is a tragedy and a great sin against mankind that we have been injecting people with mercury for many, many years.

The autism and OTHER diseases/ailments WILL continue......

.

.......even if the thimerosal is removed !!!!!

It's MUCH more than just autism that they are causing, and mercury is only a fraction of the problem regarding the harmful ingredients.

You cannot "green" vaccines.

I urge everyone to read Dr. Rebecca Carley's paper entitled:

INOCULATIONS: THE TRUE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

CAUSING VIDS (VACCINE INDUCED DISEASES)
(AN EPIDEMIC OF GENOCIDE)
by Rebecca Carley, M.D.

.

www.vaclib.org

The evidence is evident

Having a nephew who is vaccine injured (autistic), that's all the evidence I need. He was fine until he went in for his vaccine shot and then had to go to the hospital that same day because his inguinal region swelled up like a balloon. We have to get out of the rhetoric of blind and double blind studies to back things up as "evidence". Studies are by nature biased and the more we buy into them as truth, the more we give our own power away to the "experts". I was taught in high school chemistry that fluoride and mercury are poisonous, yet most people seem to think its ok to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste and put mercury fillings in their teeth that are two inches away from the brain. So was my high school chemistry teacher lying to me? Wake up America. The corporate bludgeoning continues...

You should be free to get vaccinated if you wish

but NO ONE should be forced to get them if they do not.

$50 per shot, multiplied by number of vaccinations administered = revenues.

Can anyone find out how many shots they sell per year?

thanks for the INFO

OK, it is spelled "thimerosal"

in case anyone is trying to do research

Thiomersal

Thiomersal is also used...more people outside of the US will spell it this way.

Thimerosal is the name of the derivative of mercury,

and, living outside the USA,never seen it differently spelt unless misspelt.

Nonsense

When I was a kid, mercury was in the shots and there was no controversy.

We used Mercurochrome, Merthiolate, as topical antiseptics in every household.

Now health problems are increasing and are being attributed to mercury, and yet the use of mercury everywhere is way down.

Something is wrong with that logic.

There must be other causes.

we got 5 shots, kids today get 17

and you cannot seriously compare topical applications with injected ones, even if applied to open wounds.

Also,

I played with mercury, had mercury fillings, spilled it all over my workbench, did experiments in the basement, etc.

Spent hours breathing lead fumes over the soldering iron, never washed my hands after handling solder, etc.

By college my IQ was down to 135. Imagine what it might have been!

Of course I believe that IQ is partly the result of richness of experience, which I had in spades. I pity today's kids who spend all day in the living room playing video games and doing structured activities.

Quotes about the flu vaccine scam

.

"The flu vaccine gets the most-useless-vaccine-of-all-time award. Now the CDC is recommending the vaccine for children under two years old and all adults over 50. Don't fall for it."--- http://www.whale.to/a/flu... Randall Neustaedter OMD
------------------

"Imagine... the gullibility of a public that not only believes that these companies give them a safe and effective product but that they give them the credence of a god that two years in advance when they start making these serums they know which particular kind of influenza is going to be causing the epidemic two years later. I mean you know these people have the utter gall to tell people that they can do it because they can’t."--- http://www.whale.to/vacci... Eva Snead, M.D

--------------------------

"In the course of a vaccination trial that took place in France on October 1st, 1981, Professor Mercie, former director of the glamorous Pasteur Institute, was asked why the Institute kept producing and selling its anti-'flu vaccine despite its recognized worthlessness. Professor Mercie's candid reply: 'Because it helps financing the Institute's research'." - http://www.whale.to/vacci... Hans Ruesch, Naked Empress p81

----------------------------------------

"Influenza vaccination, although promoted extensively by the authorities, is probably ineffectual (I base this on 20 years of personal experience as a provider of this vaccine) and certainly has been associated with nasty neurologic complications such as Guillian-Barrè syndrome."--- http://www.whale.to/vacci... Thomas Dorman MD

-------------------------------------------

I always know when it's flu season. First, the media begins its usual role as hyterical government press secretary, uncritically trumpeting the same cooked numbers about the coming flu epidemic. ... NBC's Today Show (10/6/04), warn that the flu kills about 36,000 people every year in the United States. .....It's a crock, a lie, and a sham; a conspiracy to generate fear and stampede people to use a vaccine of questionable effectiveness to the benefit of pro-immunization bureaucrats, and big pharma. Sounds harsh, but follow the math and the money. When the major manufacturers of flu vaccine get together with the CDC in a closed door summit with the sole purpose of figuring out how to stick 185 million doses of a questionable vaccine into a population in which less than 1,000 people a year die, what should we call it? Yes, Virginia, it is a conspiracy. Luckily the conspirators are foolish enough to believe that their website is safely hidden amidst all the chaff of the Internet, or else, are so brazen in their contempt for the general population that they think we can't do a little math and conclude "The vaccine doesn't work, and the flu is a flim-flam!" The CDC should concentrate on finding ways to lower the spread, working alternatives to vaccines, and ways to minimizing the severity of the flu, rather than pumping out fake numbers, creating an aura of fear and hysteria, and shilling for profits to huge pharma companies. http://www.whale.to/a/kel...

Vaccine Ignorance

Please do not promote your anti-vaccination propaganda on this website. Even your own movement has admitted that Thermosil is no longer their "smoking gun" with the completely bogus autism-vaccine link. The *fact* is that there is no evidence whatsoever that concludes vaccines cause autism, or damage our health in any way.

People who do not get vaccinated do everyone else a disservice by allowing the virus to mutate, therefore allowing people who got vaccines to become infected by the mutated strain. Maybe you want polio and all the nasty diseases from the past few hundred years to come back, but I don't.

The anti-vacccine movement is perpetrated by frauds and has no basis in reality. I think you need to do some real research before you make more bogus claims. All the "studies" by your anti-vaccine groups are either completely inaccurate, or thoroughly debunked by real scientists and doctors.

But don't take my word for it. I encourage anyone who is seriously buying into the anti-vaccine movement to do your due diligence. Here's an interesting tidbit: In countries where thermosil was banned in vaccines (Canada), autism cases rose!

Here's a good starter:

http://www.csicop.org/si/...

The rest should be easy to find.

If this site keeps pushing bogus pseudo science and conspiracy theories, I'm outta here and I encourage others to do the same.

Vaccine ignorance

I am afraid you are the one that is mistaken. Your statements about "no evidence whatsoever" that vaccines damage health is utter nonsense. There is plenty of good research out there, including research from Dr. Rima Laibow for instance. And your accusations that those who do not get vaccinated are responsible for others getting sick due to mutated strains - did you just make this up on the spot? You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about because that is absolutely untrue. I would suggest you do some more research because you are sadly misinformed, and I mean real research, not just what is printed at the CDC website.

Your post does nothing but

Your post does nothing but display your complete ignorance of science (biology). Viruses mutate. Vaccines are only effective against particular strains of a disease. People who do not get vaccinated get infected by the strain that others are vaccinated against. The strain then mutates while in the body of said host, and is now able to infect others who were vaccinated against the previous strain. Go learn yourself some science.

I have done my research because I have a child who is receiving vaccinations. I guess the APA, CDC, and host of other medical associations are all in the big conspiracy, because all of these major organizations recommend vaccinations and also state that there is no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause autism. I'll trust actual doctors accredited medical organizations over random internet people with random website links any day.

Autism is on the rise because we have broadened the definition of what we classify as autism. Also, over 70% of people diagnosed with autism have relatives who are autistic. The link is clearly a genetic one.

Good! Leave then! You will not be missed.

This is a FORUM where people can discuss anything they want. If you have a problem with that, then GET THE FUCK OUT! Vaccine ignorance indeed. You need to do some research yourself. Your "real doctors" are paid to do these fake studies so their drugs are approved for use on the unknowing population. You're either a MORON or a TROLL.

80% of nurses do not take flu shots.

Nice try. Ask any Nurses why they don't

Perhaps because

80% of nurses don't fall into the categories of people who need flu shots...the old, the babies, the HIV patients, people with otherwise compromised immune systems. You need to ask yourself if your life would be threatened by a flu, or if you'd just lose some weight and get a few days off work.

Getting a flu shot every year to save yourself a week in bed once a decade is hardly worth it.

Unfortunately your wrong on this one

At our local hospitals and pharmacies nurses and pharmacist are the first to get flu shots because of the patients they will see. My wife is a pharmacist and she said "hell no" for the first time this year, but unfortunately it was only because she is pregnant. Perhaps she will live through the year and realize it isn't exactly a requirement.

Nobody needs a flu shot.

The flu shot's effectiveness is a myth that maintains Big Pharma's cash flow and weakens your immune system. Don't buy into the lie.

Exactly!

Flu shots are really only recommended for a very small percentage of the population. I don't get flu shots because my immune system can handle the flu virus quite effectively. I don't take antibiotics either because they are overprescribed, and too much of it weakens your immune system's ability to fight viruses and bacteria.

Diseases like measles are starting to make a comeback now because idiots aren't getting vaccinated because of the fake autism scare. Normally I would care less (let them die if they want to be that stupid), but as I stated earlier, this directly effects me and my family because now these diseases will mutate and render our vaccinations useless.

It's Not Just Thimerosal

I recently took my grandson to his pediatrician. The very first question the doctor asked was whether or not he was current with his vaccines. I told him no. He had recently been granted a religious exemption. I then asked the doctor if he was aware of all the additives in vaccines. He admitted he was not. I proceeded to tell him it wasn't just the Thimerosal that was problematic.

The flu vaccine, for example, contains:

aluminum phosphate - aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders.

formaldehyde - primarily used as embalming fluid.

msg - used a stabilizer. many people are sensitive to msg, particularly those who suffer from migraines.

phenol - linked to liver & kidney damage.

The ingredients in the dTap vaccine & boosters are even worse. That was the vaccine my grandson was scheduled to take, but didn't.

Here is a list of the ingredients in various vaccines from the CDC's website.

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccin...

Here are a couple of articles about the banning of Thimerosal:

California Bans Vaccines with Hazardous Mercury-Based Preservative Thimerosal for Young Children & Pregnant Women
http://www.organicconsume...

Autism increases around the world – linked to Thimerosal. Countries ban use.

http://www.thepolypost.co...

I live in Florida. There are only two exemptions, medical & religious. For medical you need to prove you child has a compromised immune system or has previously had an serious adverse reaction to a vaccine. To get a religious exemption is a time consuming ordeal. You have to first schedule an appointment with the health dept. because only a few people are authorized to grant the exemption. You then have to complete extensive paperwork. My daughter later found out it is the same paperwork required to participate in various state assistance programs. She did not want these programs, not would she have qualified. She then had to wait about 40 minutes until everyone had finished completing their paperwork (the appointments were staggered in 5-10 min. intervals). Next they had to view a 45 min. "propaganda" video on the risks of not having your child vaccinated. The final step was meeting with a physician whose sole intent was to talk you out of the exemption. She made statements like "you may not be able to travel abroad if your child is not immunized."

The worst part is that this is not a one-shot procedure. You are required to repeat this whole process every year in order to maintain the exemption.

Heck...

I think you'll find most of those ingredients in a twinkie :)

Mind programming.

Was in my neighborhood's grocery store the other day. I'd say that about every three or four minutes a pharmacist was on the overhead speaker urging people to get flu shots. People were flocking to the PA's office for their yearly punishment. What a deal—only 50 bucks (yikes!!!) People were taking their precious little babies in with an ignorantly urgent sense of duty I can't even begin to understand—let alone comprehend.

For years I've tried to get the reality of all this bogus inoculation garbage through to my family members, friends, and others. I've even sent poignant, well-documented stuff to local and national news outlets. It seems to be working.

The trouble is that new parents who don't know any better as well as senior citizens who might already be sick (for example) are almost always among the first to be bombarded with misinformation.

I have brain damage today (with partial left paralysis) largely, I feel, because of DPT boosters and measles shots administered back in the 1960s, when I was little.

Any projection of what might happen…only God knows. But I do know one thing for certain. Everything will come out in the wash. The elitist idiots responsible for all the corporate profiteering involved, who are blinded by love of power and money, will eventually stumble simply because they won't be able to see clearly with love of power and money blocking their view. They'll pay dearly in the end. Anyone who pays any attention to history knows that. The elitists pigs even realize they're on borrowed time.
