Ingredient in Flu Vaccine: THIOMERSAL AKA MERCURY | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 33435073 United States 11/25/2013 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the U.S., the only exceptions among vaccines routinely recommended for children are some formulations of the inactivated influenza vaccine for children older than two years.[7] (AKA THIS MEANS THE SHOTS CONTAIN THIOMERSAL) Few studies of the toxicity of thiomersal in humans have been performed. Cases have been reported of severe poisoning by accidental exposure or attempted suicide, with some fatalities.[13] The pharmaceutical corporation Eli Lilly and Company gave thiomersal the trade name Merthiolate. It has been used as a preservative in vaccines, immunoglobulin preparations, skin test antigens, antivenins, ophthalmic and nasal products, and tattoo inks.[2] Its use as a vaccine preservative is controversial, and it is being phased out from routine childhood vaccines in the United States, the European Union, and a few other countries.[3] |
