Study links autism to mercury from coal plants Ok, so if mercury pollution emitted into the *air* is linked to a rise in autism rates, how can they say that injecting it straight into our kids' bloodstream via vaccines (preserved with thimerosal, aka mercury) does not have any effect? (or is it affect?) In any case, they're polluting our kids for profit, and then expect us, the parents, to foot the bill since they are protected by the government against paying for damages via lawsuits. It's an outrage.
I seriously believe that within the next 10 years or so, everyone will look on the past 15-20 years of vaccination history with horror. I mean, the medical community used to x-ray pregnant women to get a look at the developing baby; they used to gas pregnant women in order to manually extract the babies; they gave pregnant women that drug to curb nausea, which, oops, interrupted the appropriate mechanism to cause long bones to grow, so their babies were born with hands attached to their shoulders and feet attached to their hips. But, hey, the women didn't vomit. Why do they continue to have such arrogance, and ignorance of history, to believe and swear up and down that mercury is not causing problems in today's children??? It's not like they have a great track record. It just pisses me off. But let's keep polluting the Earth, and polluting our bodies, because we're all immortal and it's our Divine Right to do whatever the hell we want in pursuit of the almight dollar. This comes from the fact that the stinking GOP stuck the legislation on drilling in the Arctic National Refuge into a budget bill, so the Dems were not allowed to filibuster to stop its pasage. So it passed the Senate, and we are well on our way to completely destroying the final great wilderness our country has for 6 months worth of gasoline.  Posted by Jodi Selander at 8:45 AM ...

They were "asked" to stop making new vaccine with it, but there was no requirement to destroy existing stocks. Since a vaccine can last up to like 5 years on the shelf, it can still be in your dr.'s office. Additionally, they just replaced the mercury with aluminum (metal, again), which is another *major* toxin, and never bothered to do adequate testing on that either. Your dr. should have the information in the office about the batch of vaccine that he has, and you can just ask for that information to make sure it's thimerosal-free. Although I asked once, and they did a big song and dance and never gave it to me anyway. Even though it's required by law that it's accessible to you. But you can still ask!
It's definitely a personal decision, and one that every parent needs to make for their child. I would never tell someone not to vaccinate if they think it's important, and have educated themselves about the issues, both pro and con. I just want more people to *think* about it, rather than just going in and following the schedule because someone else tells them to, because they have a few extra letters after their name. The docs get kickbacks from the drug companies for every vaccine they administer, which is a major conflict of interest in my book. Drug companies even offer dr's bonuses based on the percentage of kids they vaccinate. It's very money-oriented, rather than health-oriented. Since Rhiannon is home with me all day and not in daycare or around a lot of other kids every single day, the benefit/risk ratio just does not support vaccination for us - the risks outweigh the benefits. If our circumstances were different, we would probably make different choices, too. But right now, for us, there is no need. Every year we re-evaluate our decision, because as she grows her immune system is better able to tolerate the chemicals and pollutants, and at some point the benefit/risk ratio may support vaccination. Whooping cough is not common in this area, although Hepatitis-C is, so that may be one we consider this year. Also, as she gets older, she will be around more and more kids, which is definitely another factor to consider. So we don't have anything written in stone, we are just cautious.
