Legal Immunity Set for Swine Flu Vaccine Makers |

Do You Know What’s in That Flu Shot?

Most seasonal flu vaccines contain dangerous levels of mercury in the form of thimerosal, a deadly preservative that is 50 times more toxic than regular mercury. Most of the swine flu vaccines will also contain thimerosal, although they will reportedly make a limited number of doses available that are thimerosal-free. If taken in high enough doses, thimerosal can result in long-term immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions. Disorders associated with mercury poisoning include:

  • Autism
  • Attention deficit disorder
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Speech and language deficiencies

It can also predispose adults to neurological problems such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

The Institute of Medicine has warned that infants, children, and pregnant women should not be injected with thimerosal, and yet the majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of it, and this year you and your children may be exposed to as many as FOUR flu shots in quick succession. Meanwhile, the EPA “safe” level of mercury is only 0.1 mcg/kg per day. But an overdose on thimerosal is not the only concern when it comes to flu vaccines. Other toxic substances found in various flu vaccines include:

  • Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
  • Triton X100 (detergent)
  • Formaldehyde – a known cancer causing agent
  • Resin and gelatin – known to cause allergic reactions
  • Neomycin and streptomycin (antibiotics)
  • Phenol (carbolic acid)
  • Aluminum — a neurotoxin linked to Alzheimer’s disease
  • Polysorbate 80 (Tween8™) –  which can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis

Medical News: Supreme Court Sides With Vaccine Maker - in Washington-Watch, Washington Watch from MedPage Today

The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that a federal law shields drug companies from being sued over injuries caused by childhood vaccines.

The case was brought by the parents of Hannah Bruesewitz, now a young adult, and charges that she developed a seizure disorder after receiving her third dose of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine when she was 6 months old. She has suffered developmental problems ever since, and will likely require medical attention for the rest of her life, her parents say.

The dose of the vaccine in question, TRI-IMMUNOL, came from a lot that generated 65 reports of adverse reactions, including 39 emergency room visits, six hospitalizations, and two deaths, according to documents from the U.S. appeals court that heard the case in 2009.

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 created a so-called "vaccine court" to address safety claims in an attempt to ease the threat of lawsuits in state courts against pharmaceutical companies and insure against them pulling out of what they claim is an unprofitable vaccine marketplace completely.

Under the law, people injured by vaccines are eligible for compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, counseling, special education, and vocational training expenses; diminished earning capacity; pain and suffering; and $250,000 for vaccine-related deaths.
