Pharmacies Push Untested Flu Shot on Pregnant Women

January 23, 2014

Flu season is underway, and vaccines are being pushed as the only safe choice for avoiding a sometimes deadly bout with the flu, especially for pregnant women. But what you aren’t being told may come as a shock. The safety of the flu vaccine has never been tested on pregnant women or their developing fetus. We went undercover to two of the nation’s largest walk-in flu shot pharmacies to see if they think these mercury-laden vaccines are “safe and effective”.

4,250% Increase in Fetal Deaths Reported to VAERS After Flu Shot Given to Pregnant Women

By Christina England

Documentation received from the National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) states that between 2009 and 2010 the mercury-laden combined flu vaccinations have increased Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting Systems (VAERS) fetal death reports by 4,250 percent in pregnant women. Eileen Dannemann, NCOW’s director, made abundantly clear that despite these figures being known to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the multiple-strain, inactivated flu vaccine containing mercury (Thimerosal) has once again been recommended to pregnant women as a safe vaccination this season.

Outraged by the CDC’s total disregard for human life, Ms. Dannemann accused the CDC of ‘willful misconduct,’ saying that they are responsible for causing the deaths of thousands of unborn babies. She stated that the CDC deliberately misled the nation’s obstetricians and gynecologists and colluded with the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) to mislead the public by advertising the flu vaccine as a safe vaccine for pregnant women when they knew fully well that it was causing a massive spike in fetal deaths.

In a letter to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Ms. Dannemann wrote:


“Not only did the CDC fail to disclose the spiraling spike in fetal death reports in real time during the 2009 pandemic season as to cut the fetal losses, but also we have documented by transcript Dr. Marie McCormick, chairperson of the Vaccine Safety Risk Assessment Working Group (VSRAWG) on September 3, 2010, denying any adverse events in the pregnant population during the 2009 Pandemic season.” [1]

HIDING LIFE-OR-DEATH EVIDENCE

Because the H1N1 pandemic vaccine had never been tested on the pregnant population, and to lessen the intensity of fears of the unknown risks, Dr. Marie McCormick of the CDC was employed to keep track of all adverse events during the 2009 pandemic season, including those adverse events in the pregnant population. Dr. McCormick was responsible for sending monthly reports to the Secretary of the Health and Human Services (HHS), citing any suspicious adverse events.

According to Ms. Dannemann, NCOW has been unable to obtain access to these monthly reports. After sending a Freedom of Information Act request to the CDC, she was told that she may have to wait 36 months to access what should be published public reports.

After a little Googling, I know why they don't do that, and I know how they determine the safety in lieu of those ghoulish experiments you're advocating for. I also know that's why it took a lot longer for the advice to use it on pregnant women to develop.

Your sources are implying that no studies have been done, which isn't true. And the study they're insisting should be done won't ever be done because it's a horrific concept. No ethical researcher in the world would do what they're suggesting.

Mercury in any form is poisonous, with mercury toxicity most commonly affecting the neurologic, gastrointestinal (GI) and renal organ systems. Poisoning can result from mercury vapor inhalation, mercury ingestion, mercury injection, and absorption of mercury through the skin. (See Etiology and Prognosis.)

Mercury is a poison and there is no denying that fact, but dumbasses continue to insist on ronpaulforums of all the places that it is safe depending on the dose. Also, learn the difference between metallic and organic mercury before you spout more bull$#@!. Why don't you go and guzzle mercury and be done with it?

Hahahah! No need to get angry, bro. Let me help you with some toxicology.

A single atom of mercury is not dangerous. That's a fact. Two atoms of mercury are not dangerous. That's a fact. A single molecule of an organic mercury compound is not dangerous. Fact. When the dose of mercury increases to the point that it is dangerous depends on many factors. But by far the most important factor in the toxicity of mercury, as with virtually all toxic substances, is the dose. I can ingest cyanide with perfect safety if the dose is low enough and I kill can myself with water if the dose is high enough. This is science rather than emotion. Try it, you might like it.

Now, keep in mind that I am not advocating the deliberate ingestion of mercury (even for people who disagree with me). Nor am I advocating flu vaccines. But statements like "______ in any amount is dangerous" are simply false and should be corrected.

Injecting “trace amounts” of toxins

How different is it if you eat a lot of mercury, or you inject just a little? This is the argument which comes from most vaccine enthusiasts; “if it’s just a trace amount, it doesn’t matter.” The same advice would come from the FDA, except for the fact that they consider trace amounts non-existent and they still label trace amounts of mercury as thimerosal-free. So let’s do the math now. Let’s add up all the heavy metals in the routine “consumption” process most go through, including flu shots, vaccines, boosters, food, water, lotions, cosmetics, deodorants and so on, and you have a major problem.

Injecting mercury, aluminum, monosodium glutamate and formaldehyde sends a massive shock wave through your system, and jolts your central nervous system. Your immune system basically “freaks out” as the toxic injection completely bypasses the digestive system all together. Add in the fact that most shots are combination shots and given in close succession,especially to children and infants, and the problems are compounded exponentially.

Nothing here refutes the idea that the toxicity of mercury is dose-dependent.

[donnay]

Nothing here refutes the idea that the toxicity of mercury is dose-dependent.

Mercury accumulates in the kidneys and cross the blood brain barrier. From vaccines to fish and to cosmetics and dental fillings. So if it is does-dependent as you say, how would one know if they had too much?

We know that certain forms of mercury, such as methylmercury and phenylmercury, are highly lipid soluble, which makes the brain especially susceptible to mercury accumulation. These forms of mercury are found in vaccines as the preservative thimerosal. Once in the brain, it tends to attach itself to protein structures, especially to the cell membrane, where it can disrupt membrane functions.23 By binding to the cell membrane, mercury changes the membrane’s fluid-like quality, making it stiffer and causing the cell to age faster.24 The brain is unique in that neurons depend on special microscopic tube-like structures within the cell, appropriately called neurotubules, for their function. These neurotubules are manufactured by the cell from a substance called tubulin. We know that mercury interacts with tubulin causing it to unravel. Studies in rats have shown that doses of mercury corresponding to those seen in humans can cause a 75 percent increase in tubulin inhibition.

Actually it's the dumbasses that are here continuing to deny that every medical body in the whole $#@!ing world agrees that the mercury in vaccines causes no harm to humans.

Multiple studies have been performed on data from large populations of children to study the relationship between the use of vaccines containing thiomersal, and autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Almost all of these studies have found no association between thiomersal-containing vaccines (TCVs) and autism, and studies done after the removal of thiomersal from vaccines have nevertheless shown autism rates continuing to increase. The only epidemiologic research that has found a purported link between TCVs and autism has been conducted by Mark Geier, whose flawed research has not been given any weight by independent reviews.^[2][3][25]In Europe, a cohort study of 467,450 Danish children found no association between TCVs and autism or autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), nor any dose-response relationship between thiomersal and ASDs that would be suggestive of toxic exposure.^[37] An ecological analysis that studied 956 Danish children diagnosed with autism likewise did not show an association between autism and thiomersal.^[38] A retrospective cohort study on 109,863 children in the United Kingdom found no association between TCVs and autism, but a possible increased risk fortics. Analysis in this study also showed a possible protective effect with respect to general developmental disorders, attention-deficit disorder, and otherwise unspecified developmental delay.^[39]Another UK study based on a prospective cohort of 13,617 children likewise found more associated benefits than risks from thiomersal exposure with respect to developmental disorders.^[40]Because the Danish and UK studies involved only diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) or diphtheria-tetanus (DT) vaccines, they are less relevant for the higher thiomersal exposure levels that occurred in the U.S.^[25]
In North America, a Canadian study of 27,749 children in Quebec showed that thiomersal was unrelated to the increasing trend in pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs). In fact, the study noted that rates of PDDs were higher in the birth cohorts with no thiomersal when compared to those with medium or high levels of exposure.^[41] A study performed in the US which analyzed data from 78,829 children enrolled in HMOs taken from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) did not show any consistent association between TCVs and neurodevelopmental outcomes, noting different results from data in different HMOs.^[42] A study performed in California found that removal of thiomersal from vaccines did not decrease the rates of autism, suggesting that thiomersal could not be the primary cause of autism.^[43] A study on children from Denmark, Sweden and California likewise argued against TCVs being causally associated with autism.^[44]

Maybe you should go learn some toxicology and be done with it? Because the mercury in vaccines is the type that doesn't build up in the body:

The blood half-life of intramuscular ethyl mercury from thimerosal in vaccines in infants is substantially shorter than that of oral methyl mercury in adults. Increased mercury levels were detected in stools after vaccination, suggesting that the gastrointestinal tract is involved in ethyl mercury elimination.

Emotion-based evidence....there must be a name for it.

Speaing of government lies, there is no evidence that mercury in fish is harmful to humans. If there was, the Japanese would be literally retarded.

They might not. But YOUR statement was that "mercury is dangerous in any amount - period." That is a false statement. Mercury can be dangerous with a sufficient dose and not otherwise. The poison is in the dose.

Just to back this up a bit, I will list for you a few items from the United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia: Acetate of mercury, mercuric chloride, cyanide of mercury, mercurous chloride, iodide of mercury, methyl mercury, mercury nitrate, sulphocyanide of mercury, and elemental mercury.

So how is it that numerous standard homeopathic remedies are made with mercury (both organic and inorganic) and yet are considered to be harmless by everyone - even those who think homeopathy is bunk?

Answer: the poison is in the dose. If you come to understand this, you will save yourself much useless stress.

Okay, I have done a good deal of research on the matter and I will concede my point; "mercury is dangerous in any amount--period." I understand what you meant by "The dose makes the poison - period." I also found in my research that if you are concerned about the mercury accumulations you should take selenium (200 mcg daily) to help purge it out of the system since mercury binds to selenium.

Dr. Nicholas Ralston is a research scientist at the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center and has done studies with fish mercury and pointed out the misconceptions and fears with regards to high levels of mercury in some fish but that many fish balance out with selenium--which doesn't allow the mercury to be absorbed so readily when eaten. Very interesting research.

Fish mercury and the mercury in vaccines were not the same compounds (thimerisol- the source for mercury- was removed from vaccines intended for children years ago so isn't an issue anyways). One is ethyl mercury and the other methyl mercury. Ethyl mercury is the form used in some vaccines and methyl mercury is the one found in fish. Ethyl does not accululate in the body as readily as methyl and is less toxic. Average half life in the body of ethyl mercury is seven days and the amount in a vaccine is extremely small so you would litterally need thousands of vaccines in a few days to have any problems with it.

http://www.decodedscience.com/ethyl-...erence/25234/2

Ethylmercury

The main source of ethylmercury, or EtHg, is thiomersal (or thimerosal), an organic compound which is used as a preservative in vaccines, and which degrades to give EtHg.

EtHg does not bioaccumulate, or build up in the body; from this point of view, therefore, it is less dangerous than MeHg.

The amount of mercury in vaccines which do (and the vast majority don't- basically just the flu vaccine designed for multi use does- you can request single use vaccine which does not use thimerisol) is 25 micrograms. One microgram is ten to the minus sixth grams or 0.000025 grams.
