Thimerosal and the AAP

They also incorrectly stated that "no data existed that implicated
ethylmercury" as a cause of neurotoxicity. As reviewed by Ball et al,5
ethylmercury from thimerosal has caused significant neurotoxicity in
infants, children, and adults. Such data were available at the time of the
1999 recommendations and several references were included in the more
complete AAP statement on this issue.6



Vaccine manufacturers and the FDA should be applauded for the rapid
changes in manufacturing and marketing practices that led to an
elimination of the use of thimerosal as a preservative in routine vaccines
for infants.


Seal and Daum implied that exposures to thimerosal were known to be safe
in July 1999; however, ethylmercury had not been studied in animals or
humans from the standpoint of toxicity to the developing brain.

As WE ALL know, Thimerosal is a neurotoxin and at doese lower then what is
used in vaccines has shown cell damage. More thimerosal lands up in the
brain from vaccines then methylmercuy from food, even though ethylmercury
is cleared from the blood faster then methylmercury.

After in vivo
administration, ethylmercury passes through cellular membranes and
concentrates in cells in vital organs, including the brain, where it
releases inorganic mercury, raising its concentrations higher than
equimolar doses of its close and highly toxic relative methylmercury
(Magos et al., 1985).

NIH-funded study that was
published

the journal of the National Institute of
Environmental
Health Sciences



Burbacher
and his colleagues

show that more inorganic mercury accumulates in the brain after
thimerosal exposure

through injection than after exposure to methylmercury in food.

We don't know that. Give us your peer-reviewed evidence to support your
claims that thimerasol cuases damage in human brains at the doses used.

c'mon...are you going a bit overboard? you act as though every study that
ought to be done gets the funding and the support to actually get done.

When the anti-vacs run out of facts, whining about lack of funds, etc,
is the next best thing. Sort of like saying that lead is the next best
metal for jewelry.
