I am the father of a 4 year old diagnosed with autism. I am convinced that his disorder was caused by thimerosal, and I am disgusted at the government, pharmaceutical industry, and mainstream media for ignoring facts in exchange for profit. Sadly, until more prominant people than I are faced with autism in their lives, such as the CEO of NBC Universal and Indiana Representative Dan Burton, probably nothing will be done. If I have been misinformed please correct me; however, I heard that Thimerosal has not been phased out of childhood vaccines, only the requirement that Thimerosal be listed as a preservative contained in the vaccines on the label of the vaccinations vial has been phased out, and the CDC is putting a spin on this to say Thimerosal has been removed, when in fact it is still there, just no longer labeled.

Hi Kane, I read the whole Rolling Stone article on the way home yesterday. It was very enlightening. I’m glad to note that California has banned the use of thimerosal though it is still alarming to know that other states haven’t followed and worse, the CDC continues to allow its use. To add insult to injury, developing nations are getting them and like you said, this may further fuel anti-American sentiment once more people know about the damage that is being done.

La Chica, I was glad to see Kennedy on The Daily Show. Thank goodness for Jon Stewart!

Marie, many states have written legislation banning or phasing-out the use of thimerosal in vaccines. However, thimerosal is continued to be used in several pediatric flu shots as well as tetanus boosters. And, as Kennedy points out, the CDC and FDA has bought the tainted vaccines and are using them for export to developing countries. As if the world doesn’t already have enough ammo to be angry with us, wait until they find out that we’re giving their children thimerosal.

Karen, I hope that I haven’t misled you. Vaccines are fine as far as I know, and children should be vaccinated. However, the controversy is surrounding the preservative thimerosal that is put into the vaccine.

Peggy, I agree, the Kennedy article is awesome. I wish that I could get everyone to read it. What truly amazes me that Kennedy was able to compile such evidence, and he’s not even a part of the media.

I work with a lot of autistic kids at the riding school and always wonder if they are victims of bad vaccines. Kennedy’s Rolling Stone piece is awesome, and you’re right to shame the media for ignoring it.

I heard the ad for the show on TV, and thought about you. I had HOPED that there would be some light shed on it, and some sort of proof of what is happening. After reading your post last time and the info you gave, its evident and something needs to be done to stop children from getting the vaccine.

*BIG HUGS*

I thought that vaccines with thimerosal were not manufactured anymore. Obviously not. It’s a shame the government is protecting BigPharma (or itself, from lawsuits) instead of our children, the future of the world. That’s big DAMN shame.

Thanks for the links and this eye opening post, Kane.

Kane,
I saw Kennedy on “The Daily Show” last night and thought immediately about your very personal entry about your experience and your thoughts about the subject. Thanks for shedding light on the subject.
