Opposing Digits

I am weary of those apologists for Thimerosal in medicine who, faced with the realities set forth in this title, continue to support the use of Thimerosal in vaccines and other medicines and medical preparation systems WITHOUT any unequivocal toxicological proof of what is the SAFE level of Thimerosal in any of these products.

I am weary of those who publish papers claiming to prove safety BUT conveniently ignoring one or more of the PROVEN aspects of the systemic toxicity of Thimerosal and related "ethyl mercury" compounds, ethylmercurihydroxide, ethylmercurichloride, and, after metabolism, "inorganic mercury," at levels in the low ppm range (< 2 ppm) and, in some cases, down to the sub-ppm level (< 0.02 ppm).

I am weary of those mercury-in-medicine apologists who attempt to paint "Thimerosal" as somehow a special form of mercury that must be safe because it has been used for decades and not everyone has been poisoned -- tell that to the "Pink Disease" survivors who heard the same littany for "Calomel (84.98% Hg)," a "special" form of inorganic mercury CLAIMED to be harmless that killed and maimed tens of thousands in the period from the 1800s to the mid-1950s BEFORE it was UNEQUIVOCALLY PROVEN to severely mercury-poison about 1 in 500 babies but only those administered Calomel-laced teething/soothing powders.

I am weary of those in the healthcare establishment and government who chant their "there is no proof" that:

1. Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight mercury) poisons all who are administered medicines containing it to some degree, some of those are poisoned to the degree that they exhibit one or more of the symptoms exhibited by those who are subacutely mercury poisoned, and a few are severely mercury poisoned to the degree they are diagnosed as having "autism" and, sadly, those who are poisoned to death WHEN there is a large body of experimental evidence that SUPPORTS the reality that injecting mercury into humans in the form of Thimerosal mercury-poisons humans.
