The Truth about Vaccines
Posting this now before finishing the article to be an early poster. (see edit below for my comments after finishing the article)<p>The article refers to missteps and errors doctors have made concerning vaccinations. One misstep&#x2F;error that is concerning to me is the use of thimerosal as a preservative&#x2F;adjuvant.<p>Around 1999, the FDA began to pressure manufacturers to remove thimerosal from all childhood vaccines due to safety concerns. The following link is a great summary why that presents pro&#x2F;con perspectives. Thimerosal is no longer used in childhood vaccines, and has been largely replaced by aluminum-based adjuvants. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fda.gov&#x2F;vaccines-blood-biologics&#x2F;vaccines&#x2F;thimerosal-vaccines-questions-and-answers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fda.gov&#x2F;vaccines-blood-biologics&#x2F;vaccines&#x2F;thimer...</a><p>In 2004, FDA official William Egan stated that no clinical trial had been done to evaluate the safety of thimerosal, a preservative&#x2F;adjuvant that was commonly used in vaccinations.  Except for a poorly run 1930 study. See the following link for the testimony. It&#x27;s from an anti-vax youtube channel, but the testimony is real and uncut.

Chronic mercury toxicity. Thimerosal contains mercury. Maybe I got the mercury somewhere else, but I have no other known exposures. Never ate much fish, and my symptoms started long before I ever ate any.<p>I have reversed the course of my illness using a medication that specifically binds to mercury and facilitates easier excretion from the body. I&#x27;ve been using this therapy for 3 years now with consistent improvement. If it was a placebo effect it would not produce consistent results for such a long period of time.<p>For those curious, the medication I&#x27;m using is emeramide. It is currently going through the FDA approval process for the treatment of mercury toxicity, and looks like it will be approved within 10 years.<p>Edit:<p>After finishing the article I&#x27;d like to address two points:<p>(1) I see that the author discussed the FDA&#x27;s removal of thimerosal. They point out how experts &quot;talked out of both sides of their mouths&quot;, claiming thimerosal was safe, but insisted it be removed as expeditiously as possible. Toxicity is very very complex science. During my 4 years as an environmental engineer I noticed a huge amount of politicking around toxicity issues because it&#x27;s so hard to prove if some compound is safe or not. My interpretation of the expert&#x27;s behavior regarding thimerosal is that they became so uncomfortable with the unproven safety profile of the compound that they pushed for it&#x27;s removal, while simultaneously saying it was fine in order to cover their asses. It&#x27;s career suicide to admit you supported the use of a compound all the while insisting it was safe, only to flip-flop and say it was dangerous all along. So the experts do the right thing, banning the compound, while covering their asses. I saw this phenomenon over and over while working in pollution remediation.<p>(2) The author spends considerable time discrediting Wakefield&#x27;s MMR study. MMR never contained thimerosal, so discussion of that study with respect to thimerosal&#x27;s safety is not applicable. Also, Wakefield&#x27;s study was ONE study, and it&#x27;s so strange how the pro-vax movement keeps talking about how terrible it was like it is still relevant. There have been hundreds if not thousands of other studies much more worthy of discussion. The healthcare industry has published numerous fraudulent studies from all sorts of perspectives. It&#x27;s not a phenomenon only associated with people who question vaccine safety. See Merck&#x27;s fraudulent study demonstrating Vioxx&#x27;s safety. They just removed 3 participants so the numbers looked good.
