Abstract
Thimerosal is a preservative that has been used in

manufacturi=
ng
vaccines since the 1930s. Reports have indicated that

infants =
can
receive ethylmercury (in the form of thimerosal) at or

above t=
he
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for methylmercury
exposure,
depending on the exact vaccinations, schedule, and

size of the
infant.
In this study we compared the systemic disposition and brain
distribution of total and inorganic mercury in infant

monkeys
after
thimerosal exposure with those exposed to MeHg. Monkeys were
exposed
to
MeHg (via oral gavage) or vaccines containing

thimerosal (via
intramuscular injection) at birth and 1, 2, and 3

weeks of age.
Total
blood Hg levels were determined 2, 4, and 7 days after each
exposure.
Total and inorganic brain Hg levels were assessed 2,

4, 7, or =
28
days
after the last exposure. The initial and terminal

half-life of=
Hg
in
blood after thimerosal exposure was 2.1 and 8.6 days,
respectively,
which are significantly shorter than the elimination

half-life=
of
Hg
after MeHg exposure at 21.5 days. Brain concentrations

of tota=
l Hg
were
significantly lower by approximately 3-fold for the
thimerosal-exposed
monkeys when compared with the MeHg infants, whereas

the avera=
ge
brain-to-blood concentration ratio was slightly higher

for the
thimerosal-exposed monkeys (3.5 =B1 0.5 vs. 2.5 =B1

0.3). A hi=
gher
percentage of the total Hg in the brain was in the form of
inorganic
Hg
for the thimerosal-exposed monkeys (34% vs. 7%). The results
indicate
that MeHg is not a suitable reference for risk

assessment from
exposure
to thimerosal-derived Hg. Knowledge of the

toxicokinetics and
developmental toxicity of thimerosal is needed to afford a
meaningful
assessment of the developmental effects of

thimerosal-containi=
ng
vaccines.

--------------------

Clearly, the claim by the Mercury Militia that it

accumulates
after
each
vaccination is not supported by this research. Ethyl

Mercury, =
the
byproduct of thimerosal metabolism is eliminated

rapidly, and =
is
gone
before the next vaccination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How was this study funded?

Is that the best you can do? Whine about funding.

Obviously, you =
did
not
bother to even attempt to read it. You answer is at the link I
posted.
Do your own homework. Read the study and try to find fault with
methodology, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark,
I read the study that is posted above and have read other

research
studies
that have had similar conclusions. I have also read other

research
studies
that have had different conclusions.

I posted the link since the entire study is available.

Now, specify what other *studies*, with references, have different
findings? I cannot find fault with this studies methodology.

Chemistry does not change.

Completely independant of taking any side here, Chemistry (the
observation
of elemental constructs and reactions) always changes.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vernon,
It depends on what Mark meant when he used the term

"chemistry". Mark
should explain what the meant. Perhaps he was referring to

"natural la=
ws".

No, he was referring to chemistry, which doesn't change.

Vernon appears to be incapable of saying that our understanding of
chemistry certainly progresses without redefining chemistry.

Chemistry, however, does not change.


It's been over 25 years since I have taken any science classes

but see=
m to
recall learning that natural laws never change.
Jason
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sort of my point.


No, not really.


Add what I posted to a constant change in what people,

especially college
professor book writers define as "Natural laws". Add to that

the basic =
fact
that very few professors have a clue about the various elemental (not
chemistry) effects on statistics.


Good lord, Vern, you're certainly good at saying nothing.


Your link MAY be 100% accurate, but still mostly opinion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vernon,
Good points.


There weren't any points, Jason. Do try and explain what vern's point's
were. Because it certainly looked to me as though our little Walter
Mitty was just trying to say that people with more education than him
simply don't know anything. Again.

Many college science professors are teaching lots of false
information to their students.


Really?

They want to be politically correct so
teach students that global warming is caused by pollution. Of course,
pollution may play a role. However, anyone that has a degree in natural
science knows that global warming happened several times in the

history of
the earth even before mankind was on the earth. Global warming

could very
well be the result of
those same factors that caused global warming before mankind was

on this =
earth.
Any science professor employed by a state university would be fired (by
his politically correct bosses) if he taught his or her students that
global warming was NOT caused by pollution.


Really?

If a science professor in a
state university developed a theory that conflicted with

evolution theory,
that professor would be fired by his politically correct bosses.


Only if he couldn't back it up with some evidence, Jason. Which, to
date, hasn't been done.

Academic
freedom is no longer a reality.


I'm sorry that you feel that people actually having to back up their
hypotheses with evidence indicates a lack of academic freedom, Jason.
Or more precisely, I'm sorry for you.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I also feel sorry for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well, that's nice, but I note you couldn't explain Vincent's "points",
or come up with any examples of alleged lack of academic freedom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two examples

If a college biology professor stated that a "creator" created mankind

and lots
of plants and animals, I doubt that his political correct bosses and
fellow professors would treat him with much respect. I should note that
Darwin mentioned that he believed that a creator was involved in the
creation of life on this earth in the last paragraph
of his famous book. Some high school science teachers have been fired for
telling their students that God created life.


If the professor came up with some evidence for his contention, he
would be treated with respect; this hasn't so far happened. He would,
quite rightly, be treated with derision in any science department if he
tried to make such a claim without evidence.


If a chemistry professor stated that mercury was the cause of autism, I
doubt that he would be treated with the same respect that they treated
other professors and his bosses.


If the professor came up with some evidence for his contention, he
would be treated with respect; this hasn't so far happened. He would,
quite rightly, be treated with derision in any science department if he
tried to make such a claim without evidence.


The reason that professors are not fired is usually because of tenure

(sp ??).

Oh, I see. You have no example of anyone being fired for teaching that
pollution doesn't cause global warming. Not surprising; it's not a done
deal and there are arguments and research showing that it does, and
that it's negligible in the big scheme of climate change. I know little
about it, but the consensus seems to be moving steadily towards
pollution being a major problem.

But basically, you were bull****ting when you wrote that someone would
be fired for disagreeing with that consensus.


What is your opinion of Dr. Boyd Haley?


Very low indeed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,
Thanks for your post. No, I don't know the names of any professors that
have been fired for teaching their students that global warming also took
place during PETM (Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximun). Some experts believe
that the
global warming that is now taking place is happening for the same reasons
that it took place during PETM. Pollution is a major problem but volcanoes
are usually ignored when global warming is discussed in science classes. I
have NOT seen Al Gore's movie about global warming but it's my guess that
the "pollution" produced by volcanoes was NOT discussed in detail in that
movie.

It's my guess that the people that work with Dr. Boyd Haley also have a
"low" opinion about Dr. Boyd Haley. His bosses probably give have poor
evaluations.

I've no idea if that is so, but I'll take your word for it. Your
argument is specious, though: no professor would be fired for that
reason, because no professor would deny, or even try to hide the fact
that the earth has been subject to global warming before. It's not in
question. Although I don't know the specifics, not being a
climatologist, it's common knowledge that the earth has suffered
periods of cooling and warming. The question is whether suffering
warming now, and if so, is mankind contributing?


Pollution is a major problem but volcanoes

Why not watch it instead of guessing? Gore, of course, is neither a

not really relevant to a discussion of academic freedom.

Obviously that wouldn't surprise me either, since he's come up with a

sticking with it in the face of evidence that refutes it, always a bit
embarrassing for a scientist.

Cathy,
I visited google and typed "fired professors" and found lots of examples
of professors that have been fired. In some of those cases, academic
freedom was
involved. I tried to copy and paste one of the articles but failed. I
suggest that you type the name "Thomas Klocek" into the google search
engine and read
some of those articles. He was a professor that taught that Israel had a right
to exist and was an advocate for Israel. Some of the Arab students in his
class (or classes) complained and he was fired. I believe that this is a
clear cut case of Professor Kocek's Academic Freedom being violated. I
could not find any examples of professors that were fired related to
teaching that global warming is NOT caused by pollution from factories and
cars. I am sorry that I did not write down the URL of the site that I
visited.

The reason that professors are not fired is usually because of tenure
(sp
??).

What is your opinion of Dr. Boyd Haley?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Wow! Get updated to her repeating of the LIES on her buddy [who lies for
her] websites.

Then the LIES of the *mad cow disease*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jan,
I try to avoid getting distracted from subjects other than mercury,
aluminum and vaccines. I was distracted when someone confused me by making
use of a three dollar word for rain water and discussing pure sodium. I
should not have even mentioned academic freedom in a post. Question: Is
Dr. Boyd Haley a chemistry professor in a state college? Is he the person
that believes that mercury is the cause of autism? Don't let anyone
distract you. Check your most recent posts to determine whether or not
mercury, aluminum or vaccines are mentioned in any of those posts. Have
you been distracted? Have a great week.

Thank you. What makes you think I was distracted?

Checked my recent posts.

Perhaps you are not aware. I had mercury poisoning from Mercury Amalgams.
Came very close to DEATH.

If a college biology professor stated that a "creator" created mankind

and lots
of plants and animals, I doubt that his political correct bosses and
fellow professors would treat him with much respect. I should note

that
Darwin mentioned that he believed that a creator was involved in the
creation of life on this earth in the last paragraph
of his famous book. Some high school science teachers have been fired

for
telling their students that God created life.


If the professor came up with some evidence for his contention, he
would be treated with respect; this hasn't so far happened. He would,
quite rightly, be treated with derision in any science department if he
tried to make such a claim without evidence.


If a chemistry professor stated that mercury was the cause of autism,

I
doubt that he would be treated with the same respect that they treated
other professors and his bosses.

The reason that professors are not fired is usually because of tenure

(sp ??).

Oh, I see. You have no example of anyone being fired for teaching that
pollution doesn't cause global warming. Not surprising; it's not a done
deal and there are arguments and research showing that it does, and
that it's negligible in the big scheme of climate change. I know little
about it, but the consensus seems to be moving steadily towards
pollution being a major problem.

But basically, you were bull****ting when you wrote that someone would
be fired for disagreeing with that consensus.


What is your opinion of Dr. Boyd Haley?


Very low indeed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,
Thanks for your post. No, I don't know the names of any professors that
have been fired for teaching their students that global warming also took
place during PETM (Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximun). Some experts
believe
that the
global warming that is now taking place is happening for the same reasons
that it took place during PETM.


I've no idea if that is so, but I'll take your word for it. Your
argument is specious, though: no professor would be fired for that
reason, because no professor would deny, or even try to hide the fact
that the earth has been subject to global warming before. It's not in
question. Although I don't know the specifics, not being a
climatologist, it's common knowledge that the earth has suffered
periods of cooling and warming. The question is whether suffering
warming now, and if so, is mankind contributing?


Pollution is a major problem but volcanoes
are usually ignored when global warming is discussed in science classes.
I
have NOT seen Al Gore's movie about global warming but it's my guess that
the "pollution" produced by volcanoes was NOT discussed in detail in that
movie.


Why not watch it instead of guessing? Gore, of course, is neither a
climatologist or a professor: he's a politician and entertainer, and
not really relevant to a discussion of academic freedom.


Care to prove that?


It's my guess that the people that work with Dr. Boyd Haley also have a
"low" opinion about Dr. Boyd Haley. His bosses probably give have poor
evaluations.


Obviously that wouldn't surprise me either, since he's come up with a
theory and failed to provide any evidence to back it up. Oh, and he's
sticking with it in the face of evidence that refutes it, always a bit
embarrassing for a scientist.


What evidence?

A great band when I saw them in 1966, but not so good on their latest

Roger's voice has gone off and all that cocaine that Pete is supposed
to have inhaled over the years have probably taken its toll as well.
It would have been good to see Zak Starkey, though, because I'm still
a great fan of his old man.

Why would I want to ignore that? Except for the fact that it is

Really? You can't think of *me*?

Oh, that's right. YOU deny I had mercury poisoning from MERCURY amalgams.

You also LIE there is no such thing.
