Dr. Mercola's Comment:

It is amazing that, despite the growing amount of evidence available
on the toxicity of mercury, some people are still trying to convince
the public that thimerosal is safe. This recent study provides yet
another example of why you need to be especially cautious when
reading mainstream media reports on the effects of pharmaceuticals on
our health.

I strongly recommend that you seriously review the information
available on the toxicity of mercury before making the important
decision on whether to vaccinate your child. An essential resource
for new parents and anyone interested in protecting their health and
the health of their loved ones is Vaccines: What CDC Documents and
Science Reveal, a two-hour video by world-renowned vaccine expert Dr.
Sherri Tenpenny.

Mercury is a dose-dependent toxin, meaning the amount of it you are
exposed to is a crucial factor in determining your effects from it.
The amount that a child can receive from the administration of one or
more thimerosal-containing vaccines can certainly end up being the
proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back."

Even without vaccines, the massive amounts of mercury released into
our environment are still a major resource of exposure to this toxin.
Mercury, from places like chlorine factories, ends up contaminating
oceans and lakes and, in turn, builds up in the tissues of animals,
such as seafood products and people.

In fact, mercury is so ubiquitous in our environment, studies show
that one in every six babies, which is more than 600,000 a year, is
already born to a mother with a mercury level over what is regarded
safe for a fetus. Why on earth would you want to increase this?
