Mercury in vaccines!

Mercury in vaccines!!

Mercury poisoning is known as Minamata in Japan from 1940s due to eating
mercury contaminated fish.By 1997, scientists in USA and Russia found that children given Hepatitis B vaccine and DTP vaccine suffer from severe mental disorders. The vaccines contain 50 mcg mercury/ml in children dose and 100 mcg mercury/ml in adult dose. This mercury is in the form of thimersol or thiomersal as ethyl mercury as preservative, which is as dangerous as methyl mercury. No wonder Japan and Russia have banned use of mercury in vaccines many years ago. Recently some European countries also banned its use. Safer
technology is available as preservatives in vaccines but is not being used by many companies knowingly. A crime!

USA is now using safe technology for its people but exporting old mercury
containing vaccines to thirld world countries.Scientists actually found that as little as 0.08 mcg/ml of mercury is poisonous to man. Hence 50 to 100 mcg mercury /ml is very high and causes severe rapid mental disorders. Male children are more susceptible. In USA 100,000 children were found with mental disorders by 1998 but it was hushed up. Another crime! In India, Serum Institute of India, Pune, manufactures HB and DTP vaccines, and Shanta Biotech in Hyderabad manufactuires HB vaccine. Both contain 50 to 100 mcg mercury/ml depending on children or adult dose according to their data.India does not have a surveillance and monitoring systems working and do not have data on these aspects. But ignorance should not be cashed upon.Lessons should be learnt from others. That is wisdom.

Act as it is already late.
