re: CDC Held a Secret Meeting after a Study showed the Hepatitis B Vaccine was Causing Autism

is it beyond the realm of possibility that 1mcg will be seen the same in the future?

Do we absolutely have it right now?

Possibly not..... Being "absolutely right "isnt really a concept in science. Science deals in approximate, provisional truths that are the best current explanations, constantly refined by new evidence, never claiming finality or absolute certainty.........but I would not base my decision on getting the DTaP for my child based on that possibility given that even the higher thimerosal dose pre 2001 version has never been found conclusively to cause nuero logical disorders.

Fair enough, I agree with this.

Where things go sideways is the "The Science Is Settled" crew that does, in fact, "claim finality or absolute certainty..."

ou are changing it to remove the "thimerosol free" portion of your claim.

Read my unedited original post again. All childhood vaccines in the United States have been thimerosal-free or contained only trace amounts since 2001.

You can't claim definitively what doesn’t cause or contribute to something unless you can prove what does.

This is epistemological drivel at its finest

Well that study is, as I'm sure you know, disputed. A quick google search reveals that

quote:

---

There are over 165 studies that have focused on Thimerosal, an organic-mercury (Hg) based compound, used as a preservative in many childhood vaccines, and found it to be harmful. Of these, 16 were conducted to specifically examine the effects of Thimerosal on human infants or children with reported outcomes of death; acrodynia; poisoning; allergic reaction; malformations; auto-immune reaction; Well’s syndrome; developmental delay; and neurodevelopmental disorders, including tics, speech delay, language delay, attention deficit disorder, and autism (16 studies).

---

For those at home keeping score, the CDC relies on 6 specific studies to refute the findings of the above. so I'll ask again.... If there was enough of a risk to remove Thimerosal in 2001, and no subsequent research could conclusively rule it out as a potential cause for autism, why did the medical establishment destroy anyone who talked openly about autism/vaccine links. Because they absolutely did.

And before you get yourself riled up, I'm not necessarily questioning the science. I'm questioning the motivations behind the multi-billion dollar bureaucracy that funds the science.

That queue thread.

Cumulative effects of all sources of "trace" amounts should be considered. It seems near every product introduced to infants have trace amounts that considered separately are supposedly "okay", but I rarely see anything considering them all together or guidance on the cumulative intake.

---

Because the human body can deal with these trace amounts pretty easily. Yes, even infants. Are you going to be up in arms about literally every other trace element which humans themselves both need but are also toxic, such as in selenium?

How long did it take to figure out xrays and lead exposure?

What? That is such a nonsensical catch-all that allows for opponents to operate in unlimited bad-faith.

So... the causes or contributors to SIDS, autism, ADHD, allergies, etc... are a mystery, but we can confidently state that cumulative doses of adjuvants and contaminants in a whole array of products intended for infants ABSOLUTELY has nothing to do with chronic conditions?
