"In my view, this is not a scientific issue. This is
about as proven an issue as youre ever going to see, and whats occurring
here is a cover up under the guise of protecting the vaccine program. And Im
for the vaccine program. You keep covering it up and your not going to have a
vaccine program," Geier

and the Role of Sulfation Chemistry and Thiol Availability in
Autism. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2013, 10, 3771-3800.
The evidence suggests that the abnormal sulfation chemistry, limited
thiol availability, and decreased GSH reserve capacity could explain why
the adverse effects of TM are greater in a subpopulation of children
with this susceptibility and why the subsequent brain insult is more
pronounced in them, as has been shown repeatedly in the animal model.
Furthermore, it has recently been demonstrated that polymorphisms in
glutathione-related genes modify Hg concentrations and antioxidant
status in human subjects environmentally exposed to Hg [165].
With the rate of children diagnosed with an ASD in the US now
exceeding 1 in 50 children [166] and the rate of children with
neurodevelopmental/behavioral disorders in the US now exceeding 1 in 6
children [167], and the preceding evidence showing that there is
vulnerability to TM that would not be known without extensive testing,
the preponderance of the evidence indicates that TM should be removed
from all vaccines.

This new study leaves little doubt there is a direct causal link between mercury
exposure from Thimerosal-preserved biological products (vaccines and
Rho(D) products) and mercury poisoning diagnosed as an autism spectrum
disorder (ASD).http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=69427

Thimerosal (Merthiolate) is an ethylmercury-containing pharmaceutical compound that is 49.55% mercury and that was developed in 1927. Thimerosal has been marketed as an antimicrobial agent in a range of products, including topical antiseptic solutions and antiseptic ointments for treating cuts, nasal sprays, eye solutions, vaginal spermicides, diaper rash treatments, and perhaps most importantly as a preservative in vaccines and other injectable biological products, including Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations, despite evidence, dating to the early 1930s, indicating Thimerosal to be potentially hazardous to humans and ineffective as an antimicrobial agent. Despite this, Thimerosal was not scrutinized as part of U.S. pharmaceutical products until the 1980s, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finally recognized its demonstrated ineffectiveness and toxicity in topical pharmaceutical products, and began to eliminate it from these. Ironically, while Thimerosal was being eliminated from topicals, it was becoming more and more ubiquitous in the recommended immunization schedule for infants and pregnant women. Furthermore, Thimerosal continues to be administered, as part of mandated immunizations and other pharmaceutical products, in the United States and globally. The ubiquitous and largely unchecked place of Thimerosal in pharmaceuticals, therefore, represents a medical crisis. PMID: 18049924 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Chronic adverse reactions associated with hepatitis B vaccination.
The Annals of Pharmacotherapy 2002: Vol. 36,
No. 12, pp. 19701971.
In conclusion, our study demonstrates that
adult HBV is statistically associated not only
with acute neuropathy, neuritis, myelitis, vasculitis, thrombocytopenia,
gastrointestinal disease, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis, but some of these
patients go on to develop chronic adverse reactions that persist for at least 1
year following HBV. These types of chronic adverse reactions following
adult HBV should be discussed with patients contemplating being immunized with
HBV and should be included in the differential diagnosis of those who develop
them following adult HBV.

OBJECTIVES: This analysis examined the incidence rate of chronic arthritis
adverse reactions reported following adult rubella and hepatitis B
vaccinations. In this analysis, etiologic mechanisms for chronic arthritis
following adult rubella and hepatitis B vaccines were also explored. METHODS:
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database was analyzed for
the incidence rate of reported cases of chronic arthritis in comparison to
Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) and tetanus toxoid adult vaccine control groups.
RESULTS: Chronic arthritis adverse reactions following adult rubella
vaccination were primarily reported in females (female/male ratio = 3.0), at
about 45 years-old, and at a mean onset time of 10-11 days following
vaccination. Chronic arthritis adverse reactions following adult hepatitis B
vaccination were also primarily reported in females(female/male ratio = 3.5),
at about 33 years-old, and with a mean onset time of 16 days following
vaccination. The incidence rates of chronic arthritis following adult rubella
and adult hepatitis B vaccinations were statistically significantly increased,
by chi 2 analysis, in comparison to the adult vaccine control groups. The
attributable risk of chronic arthritis following adult rubella vaccine ranged
from 32 to 53 and from 5.1 to 9.0 following adult hepatitis B vaccine in
comparison to the adult vaccine control groups. CONCLUSION: This study
revealed that adult rubella and adult hepatitis B vaccines were statistically
associated with chronic arthritis which persisted for at least one year.
The etiology for these adverse reactions may involve autoimmune mechanisms.
Furthermore, potential biases in the reporting rates of adverse reactions to
VAERS were not observed. PMID: 12508767
