Thinking of getting vaccinated?

So what would you like to discuss? I could assume there is something in there, but discussions tend to start with a topic and viewpoint or assertion.

Effects, only when injected?

any reason why only injected?

Vaccines tend to be injections.

french for suppository?

Whoops an N short
It likely means surrender.

Cats have gods too or goddesses.
always thought cat gods where female

Cats are clearly religious zealots.

So what would you like to discuss?

The increased presence of inorganic mercury in the brains of the group subjected to injections of thimerosal.

Maybe he should try to follow his own link.

As that one is shooting cyber blanks. It could be another conspiracy.

I could have sworn that was you in another thread

Well, I don’t recall anyone ever saying you were intelligent.
Or really thinking you were relevant at all.

The increased presence of inorganic mercury in the brains of the control group subjected to injections of thimerosal.

And do you believe this to show a health/development risk due to the use of thimerosol? The article specifically states "It’s not currently known whether inorganic mercury presents any risk to the developing brain." and "They recommend further research focused specifically on the biotransformation of thimerosal and its neurotoxic potential."

Additionally, normally the control group is not subject to that which is being tested; indeed, the linked 'article' (which is surely not the entire work) only talks about the two test groups, and makes no comparative reference to the control group at all.

Due to the fact that mercury is a known neurotoxin I think it suggests there's a distinct possibility.

Mercury used to polish top hats

yeah that worked.

But as the author notes, it is not known, and more tests are needed. Perhaps you are confused about the use of the word mercury in reference to it's many different compounds (which can effect the human brain/body very differently), here is the full text:

Note that in the MeHg (methylmecury) group the total Hg compounds in the brain was still much higher than for thimerosol, it was only the inorganic compounds that were higher for the thimerosol group than the MeHg.

I am open to be corrected, but i am pretty sure it was to keep the brims in shape.

And in the absence of those tests it is impossible for anyone to be absolutely certain that the use of thimerosal in vaccines is perfectly safe - or that there is no association between thimerosal and neurological disorders.

And in the absence of those tests it is impossible for anyone to be absolutely certain that the use of thimerosal in vaccines is perfectly safe.

Just as in the absence of those tests it is impossible for anyone to be absolutely certain it is harmful. Nor have I seen any scientifically significant indicators that it might be, which given the widespread use, lends a lot of weight to the notion that it is safe.

So why was it removed from most childhood vaccines as a 'precautionary measure'?

It might have been done as a precautionary measure. Would you like to discuss the relative safety between thimersol and what replaced it?
