WHO, CDC and FDA Knew All About Mercury Dangers in 2000, Minutes of Meeting Reveal
Filed Under Big Government, Big Pharma, Mercury, Vaccines
A Freedom of Information Act FOI Document shows that the WHO, CDC FDA and pharmaceutical companies knew all about the dangers that vaccines with mercury and other toxins posed in 2000 and yet they decided to keep the information secret.
Here are extracts of the minutes of the meeting, which came to light through an Freedom of Information Act request.
Dr. Johnson, pg. 198: “This association leads me to favor a recommendation that infants up to two years old not be immunized with Thimerosal containing vaccines if suitable alternative preparations are available.My gut feeling? It worries me enough. Forgive this personal comment, but I got called out at eight o’clock for an emergency call and my daughter-in-law delivered a son by C-section. Our first male in the line of the next generation, and I do not want that grandson to get a Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what is going on. It will probably take a long time. In the meantime, and I know there are probably implications for this internationally, but in the meantime I think I want that grandson to only be given Thimerosal-free vaccines.”Dr. Bernier, pg 198: “the negative findings need to be pinned down and published.”Dr. Weil, pg. 207: “The number of dose related relationships are linear and statistically significant. You can play with this all you want. They are linear. They are statistically significant. The positive relationships are those that one might expect from the Faroe Islands studies. They are also related to those data we do have on experimental animal data and similar to the neurodevelopmental tox data on other substances, so that I think you can’t accept that this is out of the ordinary. It isn’t out of the ordinary.”Dr. Weil, pg. 208: “The rise in the frequency of neurobehavioral disorders whether it is ascertainment or real, is not too bad. It is much too graphic. We don’t see that kind of genetic change in 30 years.”Dr. Brent, pg. 229: “The medical/legal findings in this study, causal or not, are horrendous and therefore, it is important that the suggested epidemiological, pharmacokinetic, and animal studies be performed. If an allegation was made that a child’s neurobehavioral findings were caused by Thimerosal containing vaccines, you could readily find junk scientist who would support the claim with “a reasonable degree of certainty”. But you will not find a scientist with any integrity who would say the reverse with the data that is available. And that is true. So we are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits if they were initiated and I am concerned.”

Iluminating. But what is the REST of the FOIA-revealed discussion by these people about this topic? What did they actually state as to what they wished to do, or to reveal, or to not reveal? And what else did they find?
The tidbit of dialogue that you presented above does not, in itself, indicate an effort by the discussants to keep the issue of Thimerosal’s effects secret. Rather, it indicates they the discussants expressed a concern as to Thimerosal’s effects — but that little snippet just “leaves us hanging”.
So: (1) What information, exactly, did the FOIA request ask for?; (2) Who filed, and who primarily revealed, the fact of this FOIA request and the information that was released as a result of that request; and (2) What more information was released as a result of that FOIA request, particularly if any such additional information might have shed greater light on this Thimerosal issue?

Are any vaccines available without mercury–especially for infants?
