[AlternativeAnswers] Toxicity questions: swine flu vaccines
I object to any injection-based flu vaccines intended for adults in the United States that contain thiomersal.
"World Health Organization has concluded that there is no evidence
of toxicity from thimerosal in vaccines and no reason on grounds of safety to change to more-expensive single-dose administration.
Thimerosal is a water-soluble, cream-colored crystalline powder.
It is 49.6% mercury by weight. In the human body, thimerosal is metabolized to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate. The literature on thimerosal metabolism and excretion is limited and old. Case
reports have demonstrated toxicity after massive overdoses. Toxicological information on the chief metabolite of thimerosal, ethylmercury, is extremely limited. During the recent controversy over the safety of thimerosal in vaccines, toxicologists have
assumed that the toxicity of ethylmercury is equivalent to the toxicity of methylmercury. The toxicity of methylmercury is
complex and depends on the type, level, and duration of exposure.
The primary environmental exposure is through consumption of
predator fish. A 6-ounce can of tuna fish contains an average of
17 micrograms of mercury. A pediatric dose of hepatitis B vaccine contains 12.5 micrograms. The major toxicity of mercury is
manifested in the central nervous system.
Forty years ago, when women at Minamata Bay, Japan, ate fish contaminated with methylmercury from pollutants, their children
were exposed to high levels in utero and were born with severe developmental and neurological disorders. Methylmercury poisoning also occurred in Iraq following consumption of seed grain that had been treated with a fungicide containing methylmercury. In both
the Japanese and Iraqi episodes, exposures to methylmercury were
very high. Two population-based studies are often cited as the
basis for calculations on the neurotoxicity of mercury in utero.
In the first, a study from the Seychelles, infants were exposed to mercury in utero when their mothers ate a high daily consumption of methylmercury-
in hair of 6.8 ppm. No developmental defects were detected. In the second, a study from the Faroe Islands, infants were born to mothers with mean hair levels of 4.3 ppm.
In contrast to the Seychelles mothers, these mothers were exposed to mercury through intermittent "bolus" consumption of pilot whale meat. Lower scores on memory, attention, and language tests were associated with methylmercury exposure in the children (see Mercury Study Report to Congress, EPA, 1997)."

> Is anyone here really concerned about the "sudden" outbreak of the purported flu epidemic in Mexico? I just find it quite incredible that this "new" strain which has suddenly emerged is supposedly a combination of swine, bird, and human flu ???? I find this highly unlikely to have occurred under natural circumstances WITHOUT human intervention! And of course the big talk up by the media to spread fear across the globe of the great pandemic that we MUST have so as to line the pockets of the pHARMaceutical companies.

> Am I the only one who is thinking this way? Should I be at all concerned - for REAL? If so what preventative measures can I take or prepare myself for other than what I normally do now to stop me from getting flu? I can't remember the last time I ever had flu much less even a cold!
