Vaccines contain elements considered by many to be dangerous, and one of them is mercury. According to Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D., Assistant Director PG Research Foundation, Darien, Illinois: “Mercury is a cumulative poison. Repeated exposure is very dangerous.” Yikes! A popular preservative used in many vaccines is a substance called Thimerosal, which is made up of about 50 percent ethyl mercury. Thimerosal is used to prevent bacteria from growing in multi-use containers of vaccines, including flu shots. Ironically, mercury isn’t necessary to prevent bacteria from growing. This potential problem could be eliminated by mass-producing only single ampoule vaccine containers; however, that would be more expensive to make, which would cut into profits or raise costs. Again, mercury is a cumulative poison, which means rather than being expelled, it slowly builds up in the body with serious consequences such as destroying brain cells and nerve cells. Even “trace” amounts of this toxic metal can be damaging to your health.
Unfortunately, we are repeatedly exposed to trace amounts of mercury from many different avenues and this continuous exposure is a problem. Therefore we must take every precaution to eliminate and reduce all exposure if we want to remain healthy. As a result of mounting pressure from many sources, the pharmaceutical companies are currently making a big effort to remove thimerosal from many vaccines. I wonder, however, why they are spending so much time and energy to remove a chemical that they claim is safe?
