Flu Vaccine and Mercury

Y'all, I don't want to beat a dead horse (see similar LF post), but I just can't contain myself when I read articles about mercury in flu vaccines. I have to share this excerpt with you to protect my mental health. Somehow reporting to you about it diffuses some of the anger I feel when I read about how derelict our government is in its duty to protect people from unnecessary mercury exposure.

This article is a little old but I was catching up on my friend Alix Mayer's blog Med Nauseum. She posted a reference to the original article back in December. The original article appeared in OpEdNews.com and was written by by Sinead Dumigan. The Title is Flu Vaccines - Open Season.

Ah, I feel better already...kind of...

Currently circulating flu vaccines contain the mercury-based preservative thimerosal. As if further explanation is needed, mercury is a horrible neurotoxin with a toxicity level 1000x higher than that of lead. Previously banned from over-the-counter products, animal vaccines, and ironically, in some states every other vaccine given to children, thimerosal remains in full concentration in flu vaccines.

Knowing that mercury levels in drinking water cannot exceed 2 parts per billion (ppb) without being toxic, or more appropriately, since any liquid containing more than 200 ppb of mercury is considered hazardous waste-it's sickening that circulating vials of flu vaccine has 50,000 ppb of mercury, the only exceptions being Sanofi-Pasteur's preservative free vaccines.

With four out of five manufacturers producing thimerosal-containing flu vaccines, over 90% of the 115 million doses distributed in America will contain 25 micrograms (mg) of mercury. This means that once the remaining 10% of mercury-free doses are used up, pregnant women and children will only have access to vials containing toxins measuring 250x the EPA's safety limit.

For a person to safely receive the amount of mercury in one vaccine, he or she would have to weigh over 550 lbs, making the recommendation for pregnant women and children nothing less than an act of brutality.
