A Candid Phone call with a Vaccine Manufacturer

Above is a phone call that has been uploaded to You Tube and is circulating the internet through various email groups. The caller never identified himself other than by his user name, “greenourvaccines”. He also never revealed the vaccine manufacturer he interviewed. It would be hard to assume which manufacturer this is because at this time 80% of flu vaccines administered in America contain thimerosal, a form of mercury.

Greenourvaccines isn’t the only snooping reporter on the trail. Deborah Kotz of U.S. News and World Report has written a nice constructive piece on flu vaccines, amid a flurry of positive ‘get your shot’ pieces being published by her peers.

She asks the million dollar question: “A spate of news stories with headlines like “Flu shots: What’s your excuse?” and “Time for flu shots, now for 6-month-olds too” tells me that journalists swallowed the CDC’s recommendations hook, line, and sinker. Where, though, is the worry about the fact that flu shots usually contain thimerosal, a mercury-containing compound that was banished from other childhood vaccines several years ago?”

Thank goodness for Kotz. Our kids need good journalists like her to be following this and digging past the surface.

Kotz states: While thimerosal gets flushed from the body much faster than methyl mercury, what remains is more likely to accumulate in the brain, as inorganic mercury, and remain there for a year or more, according to a 2005 University of Washington study of infant monkeys. “We still don’t have enough data to say how long this inorganic mercury stays in the brain, but if you can reduce or eliminate your baby’s exposure, why wouldn’t you do that?” says Tom Burbacher, a professor of environmental occupational health sciences who led the study.

I guess when the manufacturer’s own spokesperson chooses not to vaccinate against the flu it is reason enough not to do so yourself. If you want more clear cut documentation, though, do check out the the Cochrane Collaboration of Worldwide Influenza Vaccine Studies.

Tom Jefferson of Cochrane Vaccines Field, Rome, Italy says, “The CDC has pushed mass use of influenza vaccine in all children without scientific evidence the policy is either necessary or safe.”

NVIC President Barbara Loe Fisher said, “Where is the good science to back up the policy? If the recently published CDC-funded influenza vaccine study in JAMA is the kind of flawed science public health officials are using to convince the public the vaccine is safe, it is no wonder that many parents don’t trust what public health officials say about vaccination. The CDC should stop recommending annual influenza vaccination of all young children when there is insufficient scientific justification for it.”
