All this information is interesting, however, i believe vaccines have helped to minimize the effects of diseases far more than have had severe side effect. I would much rather take the chance of protecting my child than not. You have to consider the results on a LARGE scale when talking about vaccines- thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that can be affected by a disease. Vaccinate and have less than 2% with bad side effect, or have 99% get the disease and see how it goes. hmm...

Please read your own source. If you'll look at it, you'll see that thimerosal was actually one of the least likely compounds to cross the blood brain barrier, and the amount detected was far, far, FAR below any sort of toxic level, even in mouse models.
This is why I can't take most of the people on this board seriously. You post a source, highlight one little snippet that might, in some way, support you, and then ignore all the science surrounding that snippet.

Bill Gates of Microsoft doesn't think so! He's talking about creating a global vaccine database for ALL newborn children on earth to ensure they are vaccinated! No joke!

Why in the world is Bill Gates interested in this in the first place? Does he want to rule the world, or what?
THE FACTS:
Mercury is hazardous to humans. The use of a toxic poison as a preservative is undesirable, unnecessary and should be eliminated entirely.
For decades, ethylmercury was used extensively in medical products ranging from vaccines to topical ointments as preservative and an anti-bacteriological agent.
Manufacturers of vaccines and thimerosal, (an ethylmercury compound used in vaccines), have never conducted adequate testing on the safety of thimerosal. The FDA has never required manufacturers to conduct adequate safety testing on thimerosal and ethylmercury compounds. Current evidence suggests thimerosal is neither "safe nor effective" when used as a preservative in vaccines.
There are over 1500 studies and papers documenting the hypoallergenicity and toxicity of thimerosal (ethylmercury) have existed for decades.
The United States is in the midst of a tragic epidemic of autism. An analysis of the US Department of Education data from 1992-1993 in comparison to 2000-2001 indicates that there has been an average increase of 644% among all US children. In addition, 13 states have reported an almost infinite or infinite increase in autism from 1992-1993 in comparison to 2000-2001. A review of children in US schools indicates that approximately 1 in 9 children in the US is currently disabled by the US Department of Education Statistics (see attachment). Recent studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association and Pediatrics have confirmed the autism epidemic is real and not due to changes in diagnosis, populational changes nor is it explained by other factors.
At the same time that the incidence of autism was growing, the number of childhood vaccines containing thimerosal was growing, increasing the amount of ethylmercury to which infants were exposed threefold.
A growing number of scientists and researchers believe that a relationship between the increase in neurodevelopmental disorders of autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, and speech or language delay, and the increased use of thimerosal in vaccines is plausible and deserves more scrutiny. In 2001, the Institute of Medicine determined that such a relationship is biologically plausible, but that not enough evidence exists to support or reject this hypothesis. Recent studies have confirmed the association between the use of thimerosal and autism has moved from "biologically plausible" to a "biological certainty" (Boyd Haley). Recent work by Dr. Mark Geier and David Geier in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons and Experimental Biology and Medicine have shown strong epidemiological evidence for a causal relationship between thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
The FDA acted too slowly to remove ethylmercury from over-the-counter products like topical ointments and skin creams. Although an advisory committee determined that ethylmercury was unsafe in these products in 1980, a rule requiring its removal was not finalized until 1998.
The FDA and the CDC failed in their duty to be vigilant as new vaccines containing thimerosal were approved and added to the immunization schedule. When the Hepatitis B and Haemophilus Influenzae Type b vaccines were added to the recommended schedule of childhood immunizations, the cumulative amount of ethylmercury to which children were exposed nearly tripled. The actions taken by the HHS to remove thimerosal from vaccines in 1999 were not sufficiently aggressive. As a result, thimerosal remained in some vaccines for an additional two years. Thimerosal remains in several vaccines and with the addition of the influenza vaccine now being recommended for infants, children are exposed to more thimerosal today than ever before.
The CDC's failure to state a preference for thimerosal-free vaccines in 2000 and again in 2001 was an abdication of their responsibility. As a result, many children received vaccines containing thimerosal when thimerosal-free alternatives were available.
Thimerosal should be removed from all of these vaccines. No amount of mercury is appropriate in any childhood vaccine.
The CDC in general and the National Immunization Program in particular are conflicted in their duties to monitor the safety of vaccines, while also charged with the responsibility of purchasing vaccines for resale as well as promoting increased immunization rates.
There is inadequate research regarding ethylmercury neurotoxicity and
nephrotoxicity.
There is inadequate research regarding the relationship between autism and the use of mercury-containing vaccines.
To date, studies conducted or funded by the CDC that purportedly dispute any correlation between autism and vaccine injury have been of poor design, under-powered, and fatally flawed. The CDC's rush to support and promote such research is reflective of a philosophical conflict in looking fairly at emerging theories and clinical data related to adverse reactions from vaccinations.

Am concerned about how vaccines could be used to deliver various substances, including toxins, that could be used as a means to depopulate certain areas of the world. It was reported that the vaccination programs for the third world would reduce the need for couples to have large families because children would be more likely to survive past the age of 5. Sounds logical, but is this really going to happen? It is well known that diseases like AIDS and STD's infect nearly 80% of the African nations population in their major cities. Could vaccinations be used to increase the death rate in order to control the spread of these diseases, or other deadly viruses, just as easily as they could be used to save people? Another possibility is that new vaccines could contain 'nanobots' that would take up station in the nervous system and brain, thereby making it possible to monitor, manipulate, and control entire populations remotely. Just some things I've read about.

Sure. While we're at it, let's discuss the fact that ZERO people have been cured of severe infection through alternative medicine, ZERO cases of cancer have been treated through alternative methods, and ZERO epidemics have been stemmed through alternative methods.

Any small amount of credibility you may have been clinging to, is now completely gone after that assinine comment. And NO, I won't be wasting my time by bothering to supply you with any sources.
