When the vaccine enterprise is not facing broad and holistic resistance from society and leaders in government, it is also facing resistance that is forged against crucial elements in the production of vaccines that have enabled it to cause harm to those who take them. While seemingly marginal in gain, this is actually quite plausible. And I say this because, even though I categorically believe that there is no good vaccine, and that all vaccines should be banned (seeing as they are based on fallacious reasoning and misrepresented findings of their claimed efficacy), we nevertheless have to consider that there are people who have been deceived to believe in the alleged protectionist nature of vaccines. THEREFORE, an urgent consideration becomes: how can governments make vaccines less harmful, while we progressively educate society about their inherently vile nature? Well, I think that this question is partly answered in the status quo, as US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has recently called for the worldwide removal of thimerosal, which is a mercury-based preservative, from vaccines.

WHAT WAS CONCLUDED IN THE HISTORICAL REVIEWS OF THIMEROSAL IN VACCINES? 

Let’s proceed to a careful evaluation of a historical timeline focused on the reviews of thimerosal in vaccines (from the CDC’s own website), beginning in 1999. First, on July 7th, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Public Health Service issued a joint statement that said that (quote) “There is no data or evidence of any harm caused by the level of exposure that some children may have encountered in following the existing immunization schedule.” The American Academy of Family Physicians issues a comparable statement soon after. In October of the same year, the ACIP of that period reviewed information about thimerosal in vaccines provided by CDC’s National Immunization Program (and several vaccine manufacturers) regarding the availability of vaccines that do not contain thimerosal as a preservative – and although it is not clear what ACIP concluded, in November 1999, the CDC (which provides information to ACIP) stated that vaccine manufacturers, the FDA, and other agencies are working together to reduce the amount of thimerosal in vaccines, or to replace them with thimerosal-free vaccines, as soon as possible – which carried an implicit concession of there being a problem with thimerosal in vaccines.

But, then the FDA reviewed the use of thimerosal in childhood vaccines and allegedly found no evidence of harm. BUT as a precautionary measure, the FDA also recommended removing thimerosal from vaccines routinely given to infants – which is a contradictory measure: in that why would the FDA recommend the removal of thimerosal if its review process found it not to be harmful?

Then, in the year 2000, despite claims that thimerosal was not an issue, fifty-one vaccine and vaccine safety researchers and experts met in Atlanta, GA to review data regarding thimerosal in vaccines and nervous system disorders. A report summarising the meeting was then presented to ACIP. In the following year, being 2001, in the month of May, a risk assessment of thimerosal use in childhood vaccines found no evidence of harm from the use of thimerosal as a preservative, other than redness and swelling at the injection site. In October of the same year, the Institute of Medicine (or IOM’s) Immunization Safety Review Committee issued a report concluding there is not enough evidence to disprove claims that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism, attention deficit hypersensitivity disorder, or speech or language delay.

BUT, and this is very crucial to note: in the year 2001, except for influenza (or flu), thimerosal was removed from or reduced in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6 years of age and under manufactured for the US market. And so once again we arrive at a contradiction: despite the alleged safety of thimerosal and despite the alleged inconclusiveness of evidence proving claims of harm from thimerosal, the US government in the year 2001 removed it in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6 years of age and under, specifically those manufactured for the US market, by the way – which means they kept it in the vaccines that were exported. Well, here is what settles the contradiction: In 2001, the Director of the FDA Office of Vaccine Research and Review, William Egan, admitted under oath Mercury (thimerosal) was actually never tested for Safety in human beings. In other words, the US government did not have scientific evidence to justify the use of thimerosal in products ingested by people. Here’s an excerpt from William Egan;s testimony under oath.

Additionally, RFK Jr explained how the US government did NOT actually remove mercury from all vaccines, but instead just moved it around, while also leaving it in vaccines that many other countries in the world are still getting, especially the third world countries – as we’ve just alluded to.

THE COVER-UP OF THE LINK BETWEEN THIMEROSAL AND AUTISM

Let’s continue to evaluate the timeline on the discourse on thimerosal in vaccines, and when we proceed from the year 2003. Starting in January, the last children’s vaccines that use thimerosal as a preservative expired in this month. Then, in August, another study looked for a link between autism incidence and the use of thimerosal-containing vaccines. The study alleged not to find a link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism in Denmark and Sweden, where autism rates continued to increase although thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 1992. And in November of the same year, a study found no consistent significant associations between exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines and a variety of kidney, nervous system, and developmental problems.

Fast forward to the year 2004, and after reviewing what was said to be over 200 scientific studies that examined thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism, the IOM concludes in a report that the studies “consistently provided evidence of no association between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism.” Also in 2004, the ACIP recommended that children between the ages of 6 and 23 months routinely receive an inactivated influenza (flu) vaccine. However, the ACIP did not recommend using the thimerosal-free flu vaccine over the thimerosal-containing flu vaccine, while simultaneously claiming that the benefits of flu vaccination outweigh any risk from thimerosal exposure.

Following this, in the year 2006, in a statement prepared for the Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs, the FDA concluded that the evidence reviewed by the IOM in 2004 does not support an association between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. Similarly, in 2007, the CDC issued a statement on autism and thimerosal that states in part that (quote) “Some people believe increased exposure to thimerosal (from the addition of important vaccines recommended for children) explains the higher prevalence [of autism] in recent years. However, evidence from several studies examining trends in vaccine use and changes in autism frequency does not support such an association.” (end quote). Well, later that year, results of a CDC study proceeded not to support an association between early exposure to thimerosal in vaccines and neuropsychological problems in children between the ages of 7 and 10 years.

This brings to the year 2009. During this year, results of an Italian study stated that immunisation in infancy with thimerosal-containing vaccines does not decrease neuropsychological performance later in childhood. And then finally in 2010, results of a CDC study did not support an association between prenatal and infant exposure to vaccines and immuno-globulins that contain thimerosal and an increased risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). [PAUSE] Now, this is an all-too convenient shift. The CDC, ACIP and FDA, went from not recommending and stopping the production of vaccines that contained thimerosal to not finding a problem with them at all. So, what changed?

Well, it turns out that almost 25 years ago, agencies from around the world met with one another in Georgia and conspired to remove critical data linking thimerosal in vaccines to autism. They never thought they would be found out, and so they lied about vaccines then – which certainly should make you think that they would do the same now.

THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE IS IMPLICATED IN THE HENRY FORD STUDY

Now, you would have noted that the Institute of Medicine came up often in the evaluation of the timeline of thimerosal discourse. For additional clarity, the “Institute of Medicine” (most commonly refers to the former name of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in the United States, and it is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1970 that is known for providing what is said to be independent, objective advice on health and medicine. Well, interestingly, whether intentionally or inadvertently, the IOM is involved in the development of the Henry Ford Study that proved vaccine harms in children who were vaccinated, in comparison to those who were not.

This includes, that those children who received one or more vaccines had dramatically higher rates of chronic illness; specifically 329% more asthma, 203% more atopic disease, 496% more autoimmune disease, 453% more neurodevelopmental disorders, 228% more developmental delays, and 347% more speech disorders.

Now, how the IOM became part of this is that the lead investigator in the Henry Ford study and his colleagues agreed to perform a comprehensive comparison of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children using the health system’s electronic medical records because FOR YEARS, the Institute of Medicine had urged the CDC to conduct such a study using its Vaccine Safety Datalink, but the CDC never did. Therefore, in a comical twist of irony, the institute that has stood behind agencies like the CDC and FDA and they claimed a lack of evidence for the harms of thimerosal, was the reason a study that proved the harms for vaccines took place.

THE HARMFUL NATURE OF THIMEROSAL, AND WHY IT IS DANGEROUS IN VACCINES

Thimerosal, which is approximately 50% mercury by weight, has been one of the most widely used preservatives in vaccines. It is metabolized or degraded to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. Ethylmercury is an organomercurial that should be distinguished from methylmercury, a related substance that has been the focus of considerable study. Methylmercury is the type of mercury found in certain kinds of fish. At high exposure levels methylmercury can be toxic to people. In the United States, federal guidelines keep as much methylmercury as possible out of the environment and food, but over a lifetime, everyone is exposed to some methylmercury.

At concentrations found in vaccines, thimerosal meets the requirements for a preservative as set forth by the United States Pharmacopeia; that is, it kills the specified challenge organisms and is able to prevent the growth of the challenge fungi (U.S. Pharmacopeia 2004). Thimerosal in concentrations of 0.001% (1 part in 100,000) to 0.01% (1 part in 10,000) has been shown to be effective in clearing a broad spectrum of pathogens. A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a preservative contains 50 micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose. For comparison, this is roughly the same amount of elemental mercury contained in a 3 ounce can of tuna fish.

BEYOND MERCURY, METALS IN VACCINES IN GENERAL ARE A HEALTH CONCERN

But, in addition, beyond mercury itself, metals in vaccines (in general) are actually a massive health concern. You’d recall that we’ve discussed here on The War Room that Dr Toby Rogers PhD even exposed the fact that the FDA and CDC approved aluminum as ‘safe & effective’ in vaccines, based on a study of only 4 rabbits that was riddled with issues – and yet, this is the study that the FDA and CDC rely on. In this study, they promptly lost the results from one of the rabbits. So the study is actually based on just 3 rabbits. But, the results in the rabbits were nevertheless of great concern.

In essence, the rabbits were killed after 28 days and the Aluminum Adjuvants are still there. At the endpoint, Aluminum retention in the body and organs was 94% for Aluminum Hydroxide and 78% for Aluminum Phosphate. The theory and narrative told by the FDA and CDC has always been that the body excretes the Aluminum through the urine and is therefore harmless. BUT, Dr Toby Rogers explained that nothing could be further from the truth. Injected heavy metals actually stay in the places in the body you would expect, which include the kidneys, the liver, the heart, the lymph nodes, the bone marrow and  the brain.” 

And so, clearly the study by the CDC and the FDA was terrible to begin with but also produced results that were concerning. BUT, despite this, the FDA and CDC declared the presence of metals in vaccines to be safe and effective. It is beyond absurd because the science is so terribly bad that anybody who reads that study would not want to inject their children with Aluminum Adjuvanted vaccines. And that’s just one ingredient amongst hundreds in these vaccines, as far as metals are concerned. Here’s more from Dr Toby Rogers.

Meanwhile, five studies have linked aluminum-containing vaccines to asthma, autism, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In more detail, the CDC-funded study titled, Association Between Aluminum Exposure From Vaccines Before Age 24 Months and Persistent Asthma at Age 24 to 59 Months, which was published in the journal Academic Pediatrics, analyzed data from 326,991 children in the Vaccine Safety Datalink. Researchers calculated cumulative aluminum exposure from vaccines before 24 months of age and assessed its association with persistent asthma diagnosed between ages 2 and 5. Key covariates were adjusted, including sex, race, eczema, prematurity, medical complexity, and healthcare utilisation.

Well, Here’s what they found: (1) First, they found a strong dose-dependent relationship: Each additional 1 mg of vaccine-derived aluminum increased the risk of persistent asthma by: more than 26% in children with eczema, and more than 19% in children without eczema. In addition, Children receiving more than 3.0 mg of aluminum had significantly higher asthma risk compared to those receiving less or equal to 3.0 mg. There was more than a 61%asthma risk in children with eczema, and more than 36% in children without eczema. The association held across multiple sensitivity analyses, including when excluding extreme exposures and limiting to fully vaccinated children.

Then, similarly, brain tissue analyses, population-level data, and experimental evidence indicate neurotoxin aluminum vaccine adjuvants are strongly linked to autism.

A study by Boretti found that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines is a plausible explanation for autism based on ecological studies, animal models, brain tissue analysis, and biological mechanisms. In addition, a study by Tom-ljenovic & Shaw found that a strong correlation exists between increased aluminum adjuvant exposure and the rise in ASD prevalence over two decades.

And both these studies are not hot, or controversial, considering that aluminum is an inflammatory and neurotoxic vaccine adjuvant, and when injected into mice was found to rapidly trigger symptoms similar to those observed in neurological developmental disorders. Similarly, the neurotoxicity of mercury, the tendency of autistic individuals to have elevated mercury exposures, and autistic individuals having difficulty detoxifying mercury.
