RFK, Jr.: Science Shows That Autism – Mercury Link Exists

Studies show that autism rates have increased by more than 300% over the last few years, with as many as one in every 110 children now being diagnosed as autistic. But even as the rates are reaching epidemic proportions, doctors and scientists are still completely oblivious as to the cause of this disease. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discusses the causes that the pharmaceutical industry wants us to believe are not true with Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor Emeritus at the University of Kentucky.

    Do vaccines cause foreign students? Dr. Haley thinks so. Here is a comment he made on an anti-vaccine radio broadcast two years ago:

    “What you see in not only at the University of Kentucky, but at every university in the United States probably, is a huge preponderance of foreign students coming into graduate school
    because we can’t find enough qualified American students in chemistry and math and other science areas to help us with those laboratories. So the occupations requiring a math/science
    education is going to be taken by people who come from countries where they didn’t damage their children. This is not a wild speculation. I think out of 78 nations, if we look at our longevity and our health, the Untied States ranks 72. We’re not ranking in the top ten.“

    South Dakota gave over 91,000 free flu shots to children in 2009–in part subsidized by the CDC.

    See http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vfc/default.htm

    And see http://apps.sd.gov/news/showDoc.aspx?i=10320

    The mercury content from a single flu shot with Thimerosal preservative is equivalent to the mercury content of a half cup of D009 hazardous waste.

    “They are poisoning these kids…How are we going to solve the problems of the future if we are poisoning the brains of our children?” RFK Jr.

    Dr. Haley and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are correct. This is clear in the independently published research. Toxins, disease agents, and interactions are causing autism and many other disorders and diseases. Such factors as thimerosal and aluminum interact with each other and with disease agents such as measles virus, the latter being associated with the fatal Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and immunosuppression. The independent research is clear and unequivocal. From a developmental point of view it is clear that infants and unborn babies are most vulnerable. This is undebatable and yet denied or doubted by CDC spokespersons. Regarding the “signal” referred to by Verstraeten et al. see the analysis of data from the CDC in Oller & Oller (2010) chapter 3. We show exceedingly strong correlations between uptake of vaccines and the rising incidence of autism. The evidence is significant and overwhelmingly clear in showing what appears to be a causal relationship between vaccine uptake and the rising incidence of autism throughout the 1980s up to 1994. The trend continues. As surprising as it may seem, vaccines are implicated. The research requires re-examination of the whole concept.

    Flu shots with Thimerosal preservative for children are paid by the CDC via Vaccines For Children and also CDC Immunization Grant funds.

    The contract no. 200-2010-33744 shows that flu shots with mercury poisoning saves the government $1.97 per child per shot.

    Look at the latex paint mercury preservative phenyl mercuric acetate and the vaccine mercury preservative Thimerosal. They are very similar in toxicity and are both classified as a US Department of Transportation Class 6.1 poisonous material.

    See http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9926506 and http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Thimerosal-9925236 .

    Now while phenyl mercuric acetate was used in latex paint as a preservative, it was determined to cause mercury poisoning in children and was banned by the USEPA from use in latex paint in 1990. See http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00001566.htm and http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/hlthef/mercury.html .

    But yet today, the FDA and CDC still recommend Thimerosal as safe for children and pregnant women when used as preservative for flu vaccines. See http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/ucm096228.htm and
    http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/qa_vacpregnant.htm
    and
    http://www.fda.gov/CbER/vaccine/thimfaq.htm .

    However any unused flu vaccines with thimerosal preservative which are not injected into humans, including children and pregnant women, become D009 hazardous waste and disposal is regulated by the USEPA. That is because thimerosal contains mercury which is a known neurotoxin. These unused flu shots are then considered so toxic that they cannot be flushed down a toilet or placed into a local landfill.

    See http://www.ndflu.com/Vaccine/Disposal%20of%20MDV.pdf and http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/tsd/mercury/regs.htm

    So the federal government essentially has an overall policy in this country that the bodies of children and pregnant women in the US, with a rate of 4,000,000 newborns per year, are safe disposal sites for toxic thimerosal preservative but sanitary sewers and municipal solid waste landfills are not.

    Mercury preservatives were banned as a paint preservative over two decades ago and it is time for the FDA and CDC to ban and recall vaccines with mercury preservatives today!

    Look at Burbacher et al 2005. Over a time period of 21 days, 80 micrograms per kilogram of body weight of ethyl mercury was given to one set of infant monkeys. That same dose level of methylmercury was given over that same time period to a separate set of infant monkeys. The study reported that the ethylmercury exposed monkeys had twice the amount of inorganic mercury in the brain than the methylmercury exposed monkeys.

    For the methylmercury exposure, “The average concentration of inorganic Hg for those infants with values above the detection limit (N=10) did not change significantly over 28 days of washout and was approximately 7 to 8 ng/ml (see Figure 5). Inorganic Hg represented only 6% to 10% of total Hg in the brain.”

    For the ethylmercury exposure, “The average concentration of inorganic Hg did not change across the 28 days of washout and was approximately 16 ng/ml (see figure 9). This level of inorganic Hg represented 21 % to 86% of the total Hg in the brain (mean±SE = 70±4%), depending on the sacrifice time. These values are considerably higher than the inorganic fraction observed in the brain of MeHg infants (6% to10%).”

    See http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/members/2005/7712/7712.pdf , pages 13, 15, and 23.

    Today, the FDA still claims in error that mercury from thimerosal (ethylmercury) clears a child’s body faster than methylmercury. “Thimerosal appears to be removed from the blood and body more rapidly than methyl mercury.”

    See http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/ucm096228.htm .

    And around the time of the 2005 Burbacher et al monkey study other animal studies demonstrated the deadly effect of thimerosal on brain cells. See http://www.autismboulder.org/pdf/ScienceSummary.pdf .

    The FDA needs a direct order from Congress to protect our children from the effects of brain cell damage due to vaccine mercury preservative thimerosal.

    I want to thank you for your wonderful and informative show on the dangers of mercury in vaccines. I really am so glad that Dr. Haley and you shared with your viewers the dangers of mercury amalgam dental fillings (aka silver fillings).

    It is so important that ALL parents especially parents with children with autism to know that those called silver fillings are actually 50% elemental mercury and do leak mercury into the human body. It is important that ALL parents say NO to mercury dental fillings.

    I agree with you that Dr. Haley is a courageous man and he is one of my heroes. I want to thank you again for doing this show and encourage you to continue to do more shows on this important subject. The truth needs to keep getting out to the public and we need you to do all that you can to share the truth.

    I agree with you that we MUST do something to stop poisoning our children. We also MUST start working to repair/recover the health of our children caused by mercury in the vaccines and other the toxin ingredients in the vaccines and the mercury in dental fillings. We MUST start now or we will have no future leaders.
