Someone found this blurb on a CDC web page about thimerosal being removed from vaccines:

 

>>Q 6. How much mercury would a 6-month-old child get in the last six months from vaccines? How dangerous is that?

 

A. Regardless of which vaccines a child has received, the decision choice to vaccinate is a sound one. The mercury exposure from vaccines is well within the safety margins included in any guideline established by federal agencies and there is no evidence that children have been harmed by the amount of mercury found in vaccines. However, Public Health Service agencies are working toward further increasing the margin of safety. It is important that we limit childrens’ exposure to mercury, but parents should feel confident in the safety of vaccines and continue to vaccinate their children according to the recommended schedule.<<

 

And the answer is…….?  According to an alert reader (an R.N.), not the CDC:

 

Here is what it was and still is if they haven't changed the vaccine to mercury free or mercury lowered...

 

A baby gets 237.5 micrograms of mercury from vaccines by time he/she is 18 months.  EPA recommended limit (which is ludicrous because mercury is the 2nd most

toxic substance on the planet next to plutonium) - 0.1 microgram/kg/day.

 

So in one day a 2 month old, 12 # (5.5 kgs) child gets DPT (25 micrograms), HIB (25 micrograms), Hep B (12.5 micrograms) = 62.5 micrograms 5.5 kgs child should only be exposed to 0.1 X 5.5 = 0 .55 micrograms and instead get 62.5 micrograms in ONE DAY!!!!!!!  237.5 micrograms by 18 months!!!!
