Mercury Exposure After Hepatitis B Vaccination

Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, is used as a preservative in hepatitis B vaccines. The researchers measured total mercury levels before and after the administration of this vaccine in 15 preterm and 5 term infants.

Comparison of pre- and post-vaccination mercury levels showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination. Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants.

Solid evidence that the mercury in vaccines goes into the child. That is why the government mandated its removal.

Hard to even imagine that any physician with half a brain would even consider giving a newborn baby a substance that is highly toxic to their central nervous system.

I have seen hundreds and hundreds of autistic children and have reached the conclusion that many, but certainly not all, had the root cause of their autism from the hepatitis B vaccine they were given on their first day of breathing air which was loaded with a mercury preservative called thimerosol.

The central nervous system of a newborn infant is particularly susceptible to toxic influences. This is one of the reasons why the hepatitis B vaccine is such a problem. If it were given later in life, like many other countries do, it would not be as much of a problem.

Thimerosol is still used as a preservative in vaccines. You would think that the companies would wake up and pull it from the vaccines. They have not.

If, for whatever reason, you are not yet convinced of the value and safety in avoiding vaccines, you should NOT let your child receive vaccines from the multi dose vials. These vaccines still have the thimerosol in them.

Inform the physician or nurse that you want the single dose vaccine container and request that you want to actually witness them removing it from the vial and would like the empty vial to take home with you as proof that they did not receive the mercury contaminated vaccine.

This way you will at least avoid one of the problems with the vaccines.
