Having problems with message search?
...in its present form it falls short of what it should do.
This bill will outlaw the use of mercury as a preservative in vaccines, but only for those administered to children under eight years of age. (The age may be changed to seven before the bill gets out of the senate committee.)
That means that children who are eight and older may still be required by law to accept vaccines that have what our own legislature is admitting are dangerous levels of mercury.
Another problem with the bill is the fact that it does not take effect until January of 2006. That means the state will be mandating that children be subject to what they are admitting are dangerous vaccines for the next year and a half – and there is no requirement to inform them of the presence of the mercury in the vaccines.
Yet another problem is the fact that this bill will never require disclosure of the fact that “trace amounts” of mercury are present in vaccines.
Two simple changes are needed to make this bill do what it really ought to do:
- All mandated vaccines should be required to be free of mercury in preservative levels – regardless of the age of the patient.
- The requirement that patients be informed ANY TIME there is mercury present in ANY QUANTITIES in a vaccine, whether mandated or not, should take effect immediately.
Please call or fax members of the senate and ask for these two changes. Please note that I spend a lot of time in Jeff City, which costs me a lot in out of pocket expenses and lost income. The effectiveness of my investment it GREATLY enhanced when you add to my voice with your calls and faxes!!!
