Default Bad News for Mercury Defenders

All I know is I have way too much mercury in my mouth, and it's
effecting my health.

Bad News for Mercury Defenders
By David Kirby for the Huffington Post

Next June, when the Vaccine Trial of the Century gets underway in Federal
Claims Court, government lawyers will defend the direct injection of toxic
mercury into infant children by repeating the well- worn mantra that "five
large population studies" in Europe and the US have completely exonerated
the vaccine preservative thimerosal as a possible cause of autism.

But now it seems they may need to tuck a "Plan B" into their Federal
briefcase.

UPI Senior Editor Dan Olmsted reported in his "Age of Autism" column that an
NIH-led panel of experts has "identified several serious problems" plaguing
the database used to produce the US vaccine study - the lynchpin of the
"five large population studies" showing that organic mercury is just fine to
shoot into kids.

The expert panel report, signed by NIH Director Dr. Elias A. Zerhouni, was
sent to Congress in response to a query from Sen. Joseph Lieberman and seven
colleagues last February. They wanted to know if the US database, the
Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), could be used to compare autism rates in kids
before, during, and after the gradual removal of thimerosal, which began in
roughly 2000.

Unfortunately, the answer was a resounding "not really." A laundry list of
"weaknesses" and "limitations" associated with the database would render
such a comparative analysis "uninformative and potentially misleading," the
panel said, (though it did suggest some excellent ways to re-approach the
data going into the future).

Strange that the MercuryMoneyMilitia, a/k/a the Petitioner's Steering
Committee, is looking to delay this, and are not concerned with public
access, among other things...
