There's also nothing wrong with thimerosal.
Please learn what peer reviewed science is. You have proven yourself to be a raving idiot, willing to believe whatever conspiracy theory you read online regardless of the mountains of hard scientific evidence against it exists.
I said like Thimerasol. Was I wrong to mention it without researching it? Yes, but I was quite frankly in a hurry, and just wanted to name an example, and go take a shower, okay? Do I get things wrong? Yes, I admit I'm fallible, just like any other human being, which you refuse to admit.
And want to call me a raving idiot? You have no idea how close I came to returning the favor. I won't even cross out those remarks, just delete them. I refuse to be nasty like you. And you haven't done a good job reviewing the evidence I've found that I might not always be off the mark. And your assertions while not 100% incorrect, does overlook things.
Why don't you try explaining Greg Palast's assertions away? He's a freelance journalist who works for the BBC and the Guardian who has been researching this for years, two mainstream media mediums that are hardly untrustworthy, and would never hire a conspiracy nut.
With enough research, you'll find his claims aren't completely unfounded at the very least.
In the meantime, while you analyze and crosscheck that video's claims to your hearts content, I need to put this Thimerosal thing to bed once and for all. I hate making incorrect assertions. Guess I'll go quickly to check for Sun and Moon news, and then get on that. :/
Edit: This is my conclusion: even though "Thiomersal is very toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and in contact with skin (EC
hazard symbol T+), with a danger of cumulative effects", "the
scientific consensus is that there is no scientific evidence supporting these claims, including the observation that t
he rate of autism continues to climb despite elimination of thiomersal from routine childhood vaccines.[7][30][31][32] Major scientific and medical bodies such as the
Institute of Medicine[32] and
World Health Organization,
[33] as well as governmental agencies such as the
Food and Drug Administration[13] and the CDC
[34] reject any role for thiomersal in autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders."
So fears of thiomersal isn't completely unfounded, but it definitely does not cause autism. It'd probably be best to remove it from vaccinations completely just to be safe. I think it would help solve the whole argument, because the fact of the matter is that it is a toxic compound.
Then again, I found something I want to look into before I make a final decision.
Double edit:
I have found an assertion
here that contradicts your assertion that Thimerasol is not dangerous, and we already know that it is toxic. There is no denying that.
"The Facts: The published scientific literature about Thimerosal can be divided into two distinct sets with opposite conclusions regarding its toxicity.
The first set is comprised of studies directly or indirectly supported by the pharmaceutical industry, showing that “there is no evidence of harm” from Thimerosal. These studies are the ones most often quoted by the Press. Most of these studies are statistical. In many cases, the data from which their conclusions are derived have been ‘lost’ or are unavailable or inconsistent. Significantly, the 2004 Institute of Medicine Vaccine Safety Review Committee, which defended Thimerosal, relied upon such statistical studies rather than the clinical evidence that the committee received.
The second set is comprised of hundreds of independent clinical and statistical studies demonstrating harm from Thimerosal. These studies are seldom quoted by the Press. Authors of these scientific papers include chemists, biologists, physicians and neurologists among others. Federal grants have often funded these studies. However, in many instances, when a researcher has concluded that Thimerosal causes harm, the grant has been withdrawn or ended. In one case, this happened after a researcher found an “autistic-like” condition in developing mice given injected mercury exposures like those human babies received from the CDC’s 1990’s immunization schedule. Independent researchers have lost jobs, been ostracized by peers, and/or had their medical licenses threatened, all because they dared to declare Thimerosal dangerous.
Published studies have shown that Thimerosal and its mercury breakdown product contribute to: Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Arthritis, Food Allergies, Premature Puberty, and Infertility."
In other words, I can't quite figure out what the fuck is going on here. But automatically trusting the mainstream press when the compound when "it was phased out from routine childhood vaccines in the
European Union, and a few other countries in response to popular fears.
[4]" means I can't really take assertion from either side as gospel, and neither should you. If you say that I shouldn't necessarily come to the conclusion that thimerosal should be banned, I'd agree.
At this point, I'd going to try to find these independent studies, and see if they have any validity, assuming they are even published in any articles online. I also need to do some more research. I have theories that people in the FDA and other similar organizations have either been paid off, or even people associated to with the Big Pharma might have been assigned positions in such organizations. It would explain a great deal. I also need to look up and see if there have been any benefits of for the scientists who did speak out against thimerosal. There are a lot of variables and what ifs, but then that is something I'm quickly finding out is par for the course when it comes to these sorts of things.
