Wow, had no idea. I am now obliged to do my homework!
I am confused why this is here, as Thiomercal is not in childhood vaccinations in New Zealand. Also they do not compare children who have been vaccinated against those who have not! Seems like scaremongering to me.
For Marty, Thimersol (Mercury) should not be in any substance injected directly into the body of any person or animal for that matter, nor even placed in the mouth as in Amalgam fillings (Mercury again), but we would have enough reaction to the other ingredients in vaccines anyway. These are poisens to the body which the body in it’s wisdom reacts to, sometimes with shock and trauma, sometimes paralysis and death. Those are the facts of vaccinations, which is not exactly scaremongering, scaremongering is the health department or your local school showing your children pictures of children with their limbs cut off and telling them that if they don’t get vaccinated they will look like this.
Certainly we are TOLD that childhood vaccines no longer have thimerosal in them in NZ, but is this guaranteed? And although they may no longer contain thimerosal it has now been replaced with 2-Phenoxyethanol, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenoxyethanol Interesting how they say that it is an excellent alternative to the “potentially harmful formaldehyde-releasing preservative.” Oh but weren’t we told that this was perfectly safe too! I would much rather trust my gut instinct and that is to NOT inject any of these substances into my healthy 6 week old baby until I KNOW they’re proven to be completely safe and effective and as this will never happen I won’t take any chances with my babies.
They will never conduct a study comparing the health of never vaccinated children with that of fully vaccinated children as I would say they would have a pretty good idea what the results would show and the vaccines would not come out looking good. This should give you a pretty good idea as to the outcome of such a study http://homefirst.com/info-1/vaccine-choice/autism-and-the-homefirst-practice.html
Leaving this video up here is a sever case of intellectual dishonesty and dangerous misinformation.
1) Thiomersal contains ethyl mercury which is naturally expelled form the body rather quickly. Not methyl mercury which can accumulate in the body and cause damage. Methyl mercury is not present in Thiomersal.
2) Since thiomersal was removed from vaccines autism rates have continued to rise. This is obvious evidence that the two are not connected. This rise is generally agreed by experts to be an artifact of increasing surveillance and a broadening of the diagnosis.
3) The claims in this video that vaccinations expose a child to hundreds of times the safe levels of mercury are just demonstrably false. There is far more mercury in a tuna sandwich than there is in a vaccine containing thiomersal.
Michelle, formaldehyde is naturally occurring in the human body. Toxicity is all about dose. the levels of formaldehyde that may result from exposure to 2-Phenoxyethanol are well below safe levels.
No medical intervention can ever be guaranteed 100% safe and effective.
Vaccines work. And Pertussis, Polio, measles, rubella and many others can all kill children, adults and the elderly. By Choosing not to vaccinate your children. You endanger not only their lives. But the lives of others.
