Why am I just NOW reading about this? Why was this not in every newspaper in the country? Even if you are not a Salon subscriber, you can read the article by choosing to view a quick ad. It is worth your time. Oh, and Bill Frist is now in the running for Most Evil Republican.
Based upon this newfound knowledge, you can bet that I will be double-checking with baby's pediatrician to ensure that Thimerosal is not being used in any more Hepatitis B / Haemophilus Influenzae B / Diptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis vaccinations.
Oh, and while we're on the subject of “vaccines,” you do know that Donald Rumsfeld holds a stake in Gilead, the company that devloped Tamiflu, that is valued at between $5 million and $25 million, don't you? And that the fears of a pandemic of avian flu has caused Gilead's stock to rise nearly 33%, making Rumsfeld another million dollars richer. And that Tamiflu is what Bush is saying we're going to spend billions of dollars on, even though it does not actually vaccinate people against contracting avian flu, right? And of course, it's old news to you that way back in APRIL, Bush signed an executive order “authorizing the government to impose a quarantine to deal with any outbreak of a particularly lethal variation of influenza now found in Southeast Asia,” even though a flu expert at Atlanta's CDC said in 2003 that “traditional efforts like quarantine would not work to control bird flu.”

Bush order gives government quarantine authority if needed for bird flu
President Bush signed an executive order Friday authorizing the government to impose a quarantine to deal with any outbreak of a particularly lethal variation of influenza now found in Southeast Asia. The order is intended to deal with a type of influenza commonly referred to as bird flu. Since January 2004, an estimated 69 people, primarily in Vietnam, have contracted the disease. But Dr. Keiji Fukuda, a flu expert at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has said he suspects…
And you can buy it yourself by searching for April 1, 2005 and “bird flu executive order” here.)
This is why I am so unhappy with my previously much-beloved Republican party — they're all so maliciously insane that when I root to the bottom of their fetidness, their “putrescence” (thanks, honey, it is a word, and now I owe you a blow job), they make me look like I'M the crazy one.
And of course, that's how they mean it to go. The evil fucks.
Yes, the new big business isn't 19th century refined poisons like tobacco or oil. The real money is to take a millionth part of one easily refined chemical, connect it to a millionth part of another easily refined chemical, stir in 99.999999 parts crap and package it in a tiny pill or injection. Innoculations, drugs, and “cures” are worth far more money. Especially because the only one who actually expects them to work are the sad pathetic sicky sicks who have to take them. They don't actually cure anything, and are intended solely to create “side effects” that ensure they have to take other treatments and drugs to combat those, which in turn create other symptoms. Hence a lifelong customer. This is why Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimers, Leukemia, AIDS, and just about any other “disease” will never be CURED totally gone never have to take anything again. No, the CURE is to take expensive drugs for the rest of your life that then have all sorts of nasty side effects that then have their own treatments. Don't bother looking at a Physician's Desk Reference. EVERYTHING has side effects.
FWIW, it's highly unlikely that vaccines are causing autism. Most doctors I've spoken to actually wish it were the case because then they could reformulate the vaccine and combat the problem. Autism onset just happens to coincide with vaccination routines.
That said, most vaccinations for children are thimersal-free. The main exception is the annual flu vaccine, which can be made in a thimersal-free version, though it isn't as prevalent.
