I. Thimerosal in Vaccines
Thimerosal in vaccines is a no-brainer:
- All forms of mercury are extremely neurotoxic, particularly organomercuric compounds, and particularly when injected.
- As with all toxic compounds, the toxicity of mercury is inversely related to body weight, and is therefore particularly acute for fetuses, infants and children.
- Additionally, the toxicity of mercury is particularly acute for fetuses, infants and children as they do not yet have a fully developed nervous system.
- For decades, thimerosal was added to all pediatric vaccines. It continues to be added to injectable flu vaccines.
- Thimerosal preservative is not necessary in single-dose vials.
- Thimerosal preservative is not necessary in multi-dose vials, as safer vaccine preservatives, such as benzyl alcohol, exist.
First Do No Harm
This preeminent principle dictates that if two necessary medical courses of action of comparable efficacy exist, you must choose the one that is less harmful or less potentially harmful. For flu vaccines administered to children and pregnant women, one would think that would dictate the use of single-dose vials only, or of multi-dose vials with a safer preservative than thimerosal.
The Vaccine Establishment has rejected the first proposal on the non-medical grounds of being “too inconvenient and too expensive”, and has rejected both proposals with the argument that they know, with absolute certainty, that thimerosal in vaccines administered to all children and all pregnant women/fetuses is absolutely safe, as proven by studies such as their triumphantly cited, CDC-sought-out-and-sponsored, conflicted and largely discredited, Thorsen-SSI thimerosal and MMR studies.

II. Current Pediatric Inoculation Schedule
The safety of the current CDC-AAP-FDA pediatric inoculation schedule (48 doses of 14 vaccines by the age of six, and growing, starting with Hepatitis B vaccine on the day of birth) involves the question of the compounded risks from:
toxic vaccine adjuvants, such as the neurotoxin aluminum
the simultaneous administration of several antigens, as in the MMR vaccine
the highly compressed time period of inoculations
the single schedule for all children, with no consideration of biochemical individuality
the interactions of all these risks
The Precautionary Principle
The Precautionary Principle dictates that, except in an emergency situation or when no other course of action is possible, any medical course of action of potential harm must first be tested for safety. Complying with this principle is especially imperative when the subjects involved are infants and children and the nature of the risk includes the possibility of severe, permanent, neurological damage. THE CURRENT PEDIATRIC INOCULATION SCHEDULE HAS NEVER BEEN TESTED FOR SAFETY, using as controls never-inoculated children or children inoculated on a less concentrated schedule. The Vaccine Establishment has rejected the second proposal as an “unacceptable health risk”, but with zero documentation for their stance. They have also completely stonewalled the first proposal - a comparison of the safety outcome of vaccinated vs. never-vaccinated children. THE OUTCOME OF SUCH A STUDY IS POTENTIALLY SO CATASTROPHIC TO THEIR ENTIRE POSITION AND THEIR DECADES’-LONG ACTIONS BASED ON IT, viz.,
“All pediatric vaccines administered under all conditions are absolutely safe”,
THAT THEY HAVE DONE, AND CONTINUE TO DO, EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO KEEP IT FROM EVER BEING CARRIED OUT.
So far they have succeeded.
By rejecting both proposals, the Vaccine Establishment has trashed, and continues to trash,
the Precautionary Principle for infants and children subject to their inoculation procedure.
They have chosen eliminating any possible exposure risk to themselves to trump the risk of physical harm to children.

III. Autism Epidemic - Outcome?
The characterization “collusion” includes, as just one example, officials of the CDC, FDA, IOM, and BigPharma, and BigPharm-affiliated academics, who attended the then-secret (until FOI-exposed) CDC Simpsonwood conference, and their agreement to “embargo” from the public the proceedings and findings of the conference. It also includes the then-CDC head Gerberding, now President of Merck Vaccines, and the then-CBER head Jesse Goodman, now FDA “ Chief Scientist ”.

The characterizations “conflicted” and “corrupt” (and also colluding) include, as just one example, the CDC/Simpson-SSI-Thorsen-DanishResearch relationships.
Vaccine Establishment - Conflicted, colluding and corrupt trashers of the Precautionary Principle, butchers of children’s minds.
The mills of the gods grind slowly …
