Govt. deception over thimerosal in vaccines linked to neurodevelopmental harm in children

A decades-long coverup: If the government is lying about thisโ€“then, what else?

Key points:

  • The government has long insisted there are no risks with thimerosal, a mercury-based chemical, used in some childhood vaccines in the 1980s and 1990s, and still an ingredient in some shots today.
  • Numerous studies and scientists have found a heightened risk of brain disorders, including autism, in children who get vaccines with thimerosal.
  • When autism and other neurological developmental disorders spiked in the late 90s and early 2000s, theย government claimed that thimerosal was taken out of all vaccinesย that children get in 1999 (or 1997, or 2001, depending on the reference).ย However, thatโ€™s untrue.
  • Thereโ€™s been a concerted propaganda campaign to mislead the public on scientific links between thimerosal and autism, as well as other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Itโ€™s important to note that among scientists who have found thimerosal is implicated in autism, thimerosal is not said to be the only factor in the autism or neurodevelopmental disorder epidemics. Numerous studies have found genetic susceptibilities can play a role in making a child more vulnerable to vaccine injury. Various studies also implicate additional environmental exposures such as chemicals in our food, water, and medicine.

This investigation will:

  • Show proof that thimerosal was never removed from all vaccines as the government and other health authorities claimed
  • Provide the scientific background, timeline, and basis for thimerosal safety concerns
  • Expose a propaganda campaign and decades-long coverup of scientific information, from the infamous Simpsonwood meeting to the controversial Verstraeten study.
