RFK Jr. Bans Mercury in Vaccines After Two-Decade Battle: ‘No More Poisoning Pregnant Women and Children’

Quote:
In a detailed video statement, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that thimerosal, a mercury based preservative still found in flu shots given to children and pregnant women, has now been fully banned in the United States.

“I’m proud to finally deliver on a long-overdue promise: protecting our most vulnerable from unnecessary mercury exposure,” Kennedy posted on X.

Thimerosal, a compound whose main ingredient is ethylmercury, had been used for decades as a preservative in multi-dose vaccine vials. According to Kennedy, the CDC shockingly continued to permit its use in flu shots given to pregnant women and children, despite overwhelming evidence of its neurotoxicity.


I say good and about time.

Am a bit older, but back in the mid sixties there was supposably a serious ban on this drug being used on pregnant women due to repeated serious birth defects . There were demostrations against this drug ( Thimerosal) .
I have no idea , how this stuff got back into circulation . Or ,am wondering if this is old news brought back again .In order to distract from the harmful effects experienced by people whom got innoculated for Covid . ??? but I can only share,my life experience versus not being a vaccine developer/ researcher .

This is new, RFK Jr just officially banned it in the US. I know in 2001 they had thimerosal removed from most children's vaccines, but kept it in many adult influenza vaccines up until recently.

You are thinking of thalidomide which is something different.

Thalidomide used to be given to women with morning sickness. It is still considered to be a highly important medication and it is still around but it is not to be used in pregnant women ever again after the flipper babies:

Thimerosal is actually quite safe. Banning its use to preserve medicines is the sign of incompetence.

Banning thimerosal can have some bad outcomes by allowing medications to go bad before they are used.

Thank you for the correction ...yes it was a different chemical , should have checked my references before relying on a antiquated memory :(

No problem.

What we need to remember is that the so-called mercury-autism connection came about from one doctor, Dr Wakefield, casting blame on the MMR vaccine to promote his own vaccine. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that there is anything wrong with the MMR vaccine or with thimerosal. Not only that, with all the studies that resulted from Wakefield's malicious hype failing to find any connection between either MMR or thimerosal with autism. It is nothing more than an attempt to find something to blame for the existence of what they consider to be highly defective children.

It is a big mistake for anyone here to help propagate the hysteria that is nothing more than malicious hype and bad science.

Without it, we are taking a chance on people dying from vaccines that have gone bad.

Quote:
In January 1928, in the early stages of an immunization campaign against diphtheria, Dr. Ewing George Thomson, Medical Officer of Health of Bundaberg, began the injection of children with toxin-antitoxin mixture. The material was taken from an India-rubber-capped bottle containing 10 mL of TAM. On the 17th, 20th, 21, and 24th January, Dr. Thomson injected subcutaneously a total of 21 children without ill effect. On the 27th an additional 21 children were injected. Of these children: eleven died on the 28th and one on the 29th. (Wilson 1967)
I bet those 12 kids would rather the vaccine be preserved with thimerosal if it had been available.

I wonder how well the other nine of those additional 21 children on the 27th did. We just know that they survived, but not whether or not they got real sick from the vaccination.

Yeah. Things like this is why I get upset at all the unwarranted claims about thimerasol. The problems that have been found are very minimal but using it can and does help save lives. There is no reason to not use it where it is needed.

Trump and his minions are creating future problems for the country out of sheer ignorance.

Needless to say: I agree with what Kokopelli has already written.

§
Be careful because many other things are underestimated.
Alcoholic parents who recklessly create serious problems for their children; alcohol, like other drugs, is passed on to newborns with very serious consequences.

Plastics (phthalates) and other substances present in the sea and soil.

Pesticides for agriculture.

In my country, there is a significant production of organic products.

But it only takes one producer to use pesticides for them to pollute the soil and groundwater, polluting even the soil with organic products.

The increase in cancer among those born after the 1960s has increased by 67%.

In Europe, there are countries that try to appear politically correct.
For example, clean energy.
In Norway, I believe 97 out of 100 cars are electric.
Beyond the potential industrial failure, which will happen, I wonder how anyone can think that the components they adopt and how they are disposed of won't pollute?
To produce energy, we need a way to do it.
This is subject to environmental risks and pollution.
We pollute because we are over 8 billion people.
Just because we are 8 billion people.
Some nations like China have changed their birth control laws; their mechanism is implicit.
To occupy the world numerically, as well as politically and militarily.
They will use Africa for raw materials, but also as a dumping ground for their industrial waste.
They are not the only ones doing this.
We too are to blame.

Yeah okay mercury poisoning is a thing. We still don't know if it has anything to do with autism, because no actual study has been done and replicated one way or another to tell us anything about it.

In order to do a scientific study, one has to have an independent and a dependent variable. You change the independent variable to see the effect it has or does not have on the dependent variable. In this case, you give kids mercury and see if it causes them to become autistic.

There are some reasons why we can't really determine this anymore.

-It is unethical to experiment on children
-There are too many other, hidden variables which would cause what is called "spuriousness" (the children are autistic because of a third factor or a combination of factors that we have not considered)
-The definition of autism has stretched and mutated to such a degree that we cannot trust who is and is not autistic

I tell you what, I for one do not want to line up to receive a neurotoxin anyway. I have a degenerative brain disease that has nothing to do with autism. Alcohol is a neurotoxin. Many recreational drugs are neurotoxins. Some exotic foods when prepared incorrectly are neurotoxins. I avoid these things too. I don't need my brain to rot any faster. I also say good riddance to thimerosal. Preserve the vaccines with something else!

I suspect that eating a helping of fish with the least mercury will result in you getting more mercury than you would get from the tiny amounts of mercury in one vaccination.

Regarding Thimerosal, it's exactly as Kokopelli wrote.

§
He was extremely precise both in his description and in explaining the association between a fraudulent study and the onset of autism.
(also)
§
So: yes.
It was used as a preservative, but is used in other preparations as a... preservative.

It's just less newsworthy.
In cosmetics, for example, it's still used...

but also in other things.

§

So: vaccines and autism have no scientifically proven direct or indirect correlation that I know of.

This is due to unlikely contamination from Thymerosal, for example.
§
Vaccines have saved millions and billions of lives since they were created.

Like all medical preparations, they have contraindications, specificities, and potential reactions that they can cause, statistically speaking, to a minimal extent.
§
I'm writing this to you as someone who hasn't had much benefit from vaccines.

But I'm one person, and there are billions who experience potentially negligible effects.
§

Thymerosal is not mercury, but a derivative.
Thimerosal is a mercury derivative, composed of ethylmercury and thiosalicylic acid. It has been used as a preservative in vaccines, immunoglobulins, antivenom serums, and ophthalmic and nasal products.
§
So, among my subjects was medicine.

In addition to several years of chemistry.



§

What Kokopelli writes makes sense: 100 grams of canned tuna can potentially contain neurotoxins, and that's a real risk.

This is absolutely not meant to be a warning not to eat tuna.

And it's not the only fish that contains it.

It's the only food.
§
In my area, hundreds of newborns die from the effects of mercury in the sea.

This is proven.
§
Mercury is present in nature, mainly in minerals like cinnabar, but also in trace amounts in the Earth's crust. It's released into the environment by volcanic activity, rock erosion, and forest fires, but also by human activity, through mining, use in industrial products, and the burning of fossil fuels.

§
It's unethical, but they let them die like this: environmentally...

Nobody cares.
§
Autism: you are born autistic, it's a pre-existing condition.
Not a post-existing one, and it's multifactorial, even genetic.
In my genealogy, there are many diagnosed autistics.
Some are low-functioning.

Others are Asperger's. Now, HFA, although studies from 2018 onward don't align them.

That is, they're not the same thing.

§
Autism, Asperger's grade 2, I've been diagnosed four times.
A scientific study published in which I participated.
§
My evaluation lasted about a year.

If the vaccine makers were to package their vaccines in single-dose vials there would be no need for anything like thimerosal. Greed is the only reason this is not done, as it would cost more money to package. Greed and indifference about anyone but themselves.

Let's all be honest with ourselves and each other, we live in a toxic world today. Corporations and governments polluting the air, water and earth itselfin pursuit of profits and power. These 'people' have been found to be more than willing to use deception, coercion, and implied threats of violence against the rest of the world in pursuit of their goals. We mean nothing to them; to them we are lesser animals much like the ones in our homes and on our plates.

Thimerosal is merely 1 of the huge myriad of toxins bombarding our bodies from a multitude of sources and ways in our lives. The idea that thimerosal alone is the cause of the explosion of autism in children today is simplistic and thus misguided. Thimerosal plays a role, that much has been shown in the few honest studies done. Most of those studies were quietly bought and buried by big pharma according to many alt media sources.

Removing the thimerosal is a huge thing that has mostly positives effects for our health, the only negatives are in profits for the people who hate us already. Removing the fluoride from the water supplies across America was huge in the same way, as it may have played just as big a role if the autism explosion. Removing the toxic food colorings from the packaged food is a huge thing as well. These are all hidden toxins, and these are just a few of the countless bombarding us that we are ignorant to and thus not paying attention to.

The air we all breath is toxic to varying degrees, the water we drink is toxic as well. Toxic chemicals coat and are used in most foods we consume from raw to cooked. In their own ways things like electro-magnetic fields generated by electricity lines, and cell phone towers are just as toxic to our bodies. Some of these toxins we accept because of the positives they bring us, but that doesn't mean we should ignore or hide their negatives.

We can't escape many of them even if we want to, this is simply the way it is and I accept that. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I personally am glad that thimerosal has been banned, it's about time. It is an unnecessary toxins known to be dangerous to humans for a long time, by the pharma industry. I'm also glad about the end of fluoridation of drinking water and the eventual end to many of the toxic chemicals put in the food we buy at the store. I care about myself and my health.

I think the decision to get vaccinated or not for anything is up to each of us alone in the end, and we shouldn't have to be pressured or bullied by others for making our choice. I do believe it is time to remove the blanket immunity the vaccine industry exists under and allow vaccine injured families to sue the vaccine manufacturers for financial help.
