I heard David Kirby on a radio show say that all vaccines are mercury
free for children or a few that have trace amounts. And that there
is still no "scientific proof" this can happen. Meaning our
autism "mercury poisoning" epidemic. I have also read that in his
book. I am very confused about his statements. Who side is he on?
First mercury is still in the TD, some Hep B, the HepB/Hep A combo,
Allergery testing shots, flu shots, etc.. Trace amounts for children
who already have a mercury burden can be the point of being pushed
into neurodevelopmental disabilites. Also, mixed with the aluminum,
it may as well be the full amount. He needs to stop misleading the
public that vaccines are now virtually mercury free. Because the
ones that are labeled mercury free are being tested and the mercury
is still there. Also, if there is no proof, which he says if there
was he would have called his book "Proof of Harm", what do you call
all the studies that are out there, besides the fact that our kids
seem to improve when we start chelating the mercury out?

Please see the press release below from 2004, as further proof that
the mercury is not out and that is what needs to be told to the
public:


Vaccines Are Not Mercury Free

Vaccines Are Not Mercury Free

After much public controversy surrounding the mercury content of
childhood vaccinations, Health Advocacy in the Public Interest
(HAPI)
raised $500 to have four vaccines tested for heavy metal content.
The vials were sent to Doctor's Data, an independent lab which
specializes in heavy metal testing.

Many manufacturers voluntarily began producing supposed "mercury
free" vaccines in 1999. Some product inserts currently claim that
a "trace" amount of mercury still exists in the final product but
that the amount has been greatly reduced. Others claim to be
producing completely mercury free products.

During an investigation into the mercury issue, HAPI learned that
Thimerosal, a 50% mercury compound, is still being used to produce
most vaccines and that the manufacturers are simply "filtering it
out" of the final product. However, according to Boyd Haley, PhD,
Chemistry Department Chair, University of Kentucky, mercury binds to
the antigenic protein in the vaccine and cannot be completely, 100%
filtered out.

All four vaccine vials tested contained mercury despite manufacturer
claims that two of the vials were completely mercury free. All four
vials also contained aluminum, one nine times more than the other
three, which tremendously enhances the toxicity of mercury causing
neuronal death in the brain.

The mercury content of routine childhood vaccinations has been
linked
to the current autism epidemic as well as numerous other
neurological
disorders affecting children today. Currently, one in six children
are affected in some way and one in 250 children are diagnosed as
autistic compared to one in 10,000 prior to mercury containing
vaccines.

It is the position of Dr. Haley as well as HAPI that if mercury can
be detected in any vaccine using standard instrumentation, the
content should be disclosed in the product insert and manufacturers
should not be allowed to call the product "mercury free".

Executive Director of HAPI, Dawn Winkler, met with FDA officials in
Silver Spring, Maryland on July 27, 2004 to discuss blatant
mislabeling and misrepresentation of ingredients in vaccinations
which are licensed by the FDA. Clearly, more testing is needed.
The
FDA has the ability and authority to take on the necessary testing,
however, at present, this task sadly appears to be up to the public.

HAPI will be attempting to raise more funds to test more vaccines in
an effort to pressure the FDA to crack down on manufacturers to
label
their products correctly. To help with this effort call 970-641-7413
