Healthy Kids December/January 2002 page 14 Chase Away Mercury Like leg warmers and lava lamps, mercury-containing
thermometers are no longer in fashion. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
is urging parents not to use this type of thermometer when taking their little one’s
temperature because accidental breakage could be harmful to the child. Though the amount of mercury in a single thermometer is
small and unlikely to pose significant danger to a child, it’s best to avoid
all exposure to mercury whenever possible, says the AAP. Unusual exposure to mercury can impair
kidney and immune function and, in extreme cases, lead to blindness, mental
retardation, and even death. If a mercury thermometer breaks
in your home, pick up the bead of mercury with an eyedropper or a piece of
heavy paper; never vacuum a mercury spill. Drop the bead into a plastic bag
with a zipping lock, and place this bag into a second zipper bag, and then a
third. Finally, call your local health department for the nearest
mercury-disposal location. News@909shot.com

"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C.

ordered into tainted vaccines - Report: Nearly 100 children died or
fell ill in Shanxi after shots - China Daily - "The four who died after
being administered tainted vaccines were 9-month-old Wang Xiao'er and
8-month-old Liu Ziyang from Luliang city; and 3-year-old Wang Shichao
and Liu Yi from Yangquan city, the report said. Children from 74
families were crippled or developed serious diseases such as
encephalitis after being vaccinated against hepatitis B, rabies, and
type-B encephalitis, it said."

- The
Autism-Vaccine Controversy Continues - Age of Autism -
"There is no doubt that vaccines do injure some babies. Encephalitis
(inflammation of the brain) is a known effect of some vaccines for some
children (even listed on some of the vaccine labels, and in the
government's list of accepted adverse reactions HERE). Studies have found inflammation in
the brains of people with autism (HERE).
But the vaccine court routinely turns down cases where autism is
alleged to be caused by vaccines."
* ►March 17, 2010 - No More Fear by Dawn Richardson - PROVE via VaccineInfo.net - "Those trying to discredit parents who have legitimate vaccine safety concerns mischaracterize parents as “being afraid” of vaccines. They use the term "fear" to try and mislead the public into thinking that these parental concerns are somehow irrational, trivial, or not based on credible information." * ►March 17, 2010
- Are
we liable if we can't give a vaccine to a child whose parent can't
physically restrain that child? - Nurse.com - "A consent form
developed and used by staff that is clear and inclusive of what is
needed for the immunization to take place is a good tool that can be
used by all staff to ensure compliance with the legal requirements of
informed consent by the parent or other legally authorized consent
giver and to avoid battery allegations. Sharing your concerns with the
clinic CNO, medical director and risk manager would be a start in
helping staff feel more comfortable with their role in the
administration of immunizations."
