Is the CDC pro-mercury?

[...] How this relates to honesthuman, you ask? Humility. A philosophy of not running ram shod against things we really don’t understand, including the precariousness of our own bodies and the hubris involved in thinking we can eat stuff that doesn’t resemble food, breathe toxic air, drink chemical water, shoot our kids up with known neurotoxins, just because we rarely notice the effects. Mostly because we’re just not listening. Then, like the snail thinking it just woke up in a different part of the room, when chronic illness comes our way we think it came “out of nowhere.” We blame our genes, cut out or off the offending part of our body, take designed poisons (i.e., prescription drugs) and inject ourselves with viruses to give us “immunity” from future illness.

[...] Kirby tells the story of how a well-documented neurotoxin ended up in being injected into babies (along with pregnant women and the elderly, click here and here for recent posts on the subject) at levels that far exceeded federal safety standards and whether that mercury is substantially responsible for the skyrocketing rates of Autism and learning disabilities. The answer is pretty obvious to those with the potent combination of common sense and a willingness to look at ugly truths, but Kirby’s book is exhaustive and scientific enough for the skeptics.

[...] There’s been a lot of attention in the past few years to the mercury in vaccines and its links to autism, and rightfully so. But’s it’s not the only metal in the injections, and not the only contributor to harm. [...]

[...] No viruses or bacteria will be used, but the mixture will include but not limited to, thimerosal (a mercury derivative that is still in vaccines in full or trace amounts, depending on the shot and how long it has been sitting in the pediatrician’s fridge), ethylene glycol (antifreeze), phenol (a disinfectant dye), benzethonium chloride (a disinfectant), formaldehyde (a preservative and disinfectant) and aluminum. [...]

[...] Secondly, and more important for the “debate” about autism and its causes, these early studies lend further credence to the notion that toxic environmental exposure to mercury and other chemicals — especially those injected directly into pregnant women and babies, TO THIS DAY, in the form of a vaccine preservative — is largely if not totally responsible for the epidemic of this horrible disease.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant

[...] Flu shots still contain mercury in most cases because the CDC refused to even request that vaccine manufacturers remove it because, get this, they were afraid that doing so quickly would leave mud on their faces for tolerating it for so long. [...]

[...] These are county officials, whose salaries are paid for by tax dollars, doing something — injecting children and pregnant women with a known and potent neurotoxin — that the tiniest amount of common sense reveals to be antithetical to public health. I just put a call into the county health department to see if I could get a comment as to what their rationale could possibly be, although I have a pretty good idea. I’ll post again if they return the call. [...]

[...] I promised to follow up with the county health department, and this is what I’ve learned. Dr. Shaheda Iftikhar, who runs the county’s vaccine program, told me the reason they are asking the county legislature to allow them to use vaccines with mercury is that one of their combo vaccines is unavailable in a Thimerosal-free formula. [...]

[...] My prediction? Next year the CDC goes all the way and recommends this worthless vaccine to everyone so as to up demand. Remember who they work for (hint: it’s not you). Currently the flu shot is recommended for 218 million of the country’s 300 million people. Watch that number to expand by corralling the most vulnerable: children, in this case the post-toddler set which currently doesn’t fall into the CDC’s dragnet, and remember that “recommended” by the CDC really means virtually required by the schools, as no one tells the parents they have another choice: exemption.   [...]

[...] The lie is that mercury is out of vaccines. That is simply not true. During this past flu season, 90 percent of the flu shots contained thimerisol (which is 49.5 percent ethylmercury). And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is continually expanding the age groups of children recommended to receive that shot, a de facto requirement because the states turn around and make those recommendations compulsory without telling parents they can opt out. The tetanus and diphtheria vaccines still contain mercury, as well, and your doctor may still be administering mercury-containing shots remaining in the office’s stock. [...]
