New York Times Bestselling author! Over a decade ago, following a rise in developmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, the mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal was widely believed to have been eliminated from vaccine supplies. However, dangerous quantities of Thimerosal continue to be used, posing a threat to public health

In this groundbreaking book, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Dr. Mark Hyman examine the research literature on Thimerosal and make a very clear statement about its potentially dangerous effects.

In the past, the CDC, FDA, NIH, and AAP, as well as the US Congress, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the US Department of Agriculture, the European Medicines Agency, and the California Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concerns over the use of Thimerosal in vaccines. But despite the many voices calling for action, the media and policy makers have repeatedly failed to adequately address the issue.

Now, with Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak, the goals are to educate parents, doctors, and health policy makers; to eliminate this toxic chemical from the world’s vaccine supplies; to move toward safer alternatives; and to maintain or increase vaccination rates critical to the United States and developing nations. With safer options available, parents shouldn’t have to worry about the devastating effects of vaccinating their children.

Review

Would you expose the unborn child or infant of a loved one to a vaccine containing mercury,a known neurotoxin, if you knew there were other safer alternatives? Does it make any sense that even though Thimerosal is banned as a topical antiseptic and is considered hazardous waste that can’t legally be thrown in the garbage, it is somehow safe to inject into pregnant women
and babies?” MARK HYMAN, MD, founder and medical director, UltraWellness Center;chairman of the board, Institute for Functional Medicine

The evidence of Thimerosal’s neurotoxicity is so overwhelming that anyone who is willing to read the science must conclude that Thimerosal can cause brain damage.” ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., JD, LLM, clinical professor of environmental law; codirector, Pace University School of Law Environmental Litigation Clinic

When vaccines contain the potent toxin mercury, they can harm public health while they protect it.This is a serious paradox and an error. I hope and implore that this book’s overwhelming scientific evidence moves us all to do whatever it takes to correct this error, because it is unnecessary,and it can and must be corrected.” MARTHA R. HERBERT, PhD, MD, assistant professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School; pediatric neuroscientist, Massachusetts General Hospital

Many of the CDC’s own studies have demonstrated a link between increased Thimerosal exposures and the development of vocal and motor tics, which are generally recognized as autism-like features. This alarming association has been downplayed to the public. Sadly, public health agencies’ insistence on Thimerosal’s safety has effectively inhibited objective investigations into
research misconduct and conflicts of interest within health agencies and the vaccine industry.” CONGRESSMAN BILL POSEY, four-term congressman in Florida

It’s no easy task to counter the well-funded astroturf campaigns and endless misinformation passed along by propagandists (and even the well-intentioned-but-misinformed). But Bobby Kennedy continues to do just thatconfronting corruption, censorship, and a federal government co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry.” SHARYL ATTKISSON, investigative journalist; author, Stonewalled

Kennedy shows in great detail how the pharmaceutical industry has completely brainwashed the mainstream media and medical community As the parent of an autistic child who obviously developed brain damage as a reaction to a vaccine, I ask you to throw away your preconceptions and read the facts.” AIDAN QUINN, actor

FOREWORD

Many years before my term in Congress I questioned the wisdom of injecting the mercury-based vaccine additive, Thimerosal, into children and pregnant women. When I was elected to Congress in 2008, I came to find that my predecessor, Congressman Dave Weldon, a medical doctor, shared this concern. Through working with like-minded individuals, including Mr. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., I quickly became aware of an enduring concern among researchers, doctors, and loving parents about vaccine safety in the US and around the world. It is common sense that injecting infants with a mercury compound exposes them unnecessarily to risk.

This book is resolutely pro-vaccine and is far too valuable to be shrouded by the polarizing pro-vaccine versus anti-vaccine debate. The late 18th century work of Edward Jenner and Benjamin Waterhouse in bringing the first smallpox vaccine to the American public will be forever honored. In the same way, the contemporary work of those who introduce innovative and life-saving treatments, including vaccines, will also be remembered. This book is about making vaccines safer. Like the work of Jenner and Waterhouse, it advocates for health and wellbeing, and does so through a foundation of scientific facts and research.

Hundreds of parents from across the country have contacted me in recent years, describing their children as developing normally up to the time of receiving a particular vaccination. While the large majority of children do not have adverse reactions, we acknowledge that some children do react severely and have established a compensation program to provide for their care.

In 1999, after acknowledging that the public health community failed to do simple addition to know how much mercury-based Thimerosal young infants were receiving, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) agencies recommended that Thimerosal be reduced or eliminated from vaccines. Between 1999 and 2003, Thimerosal was phased out of all routine pediatric vaccines administered in the United States. This was much welcomed and by early 2004 only small trace amounts of mercury remained in routine childhood vaccines.

In a seemingly inconceivable reversal, however, in 2004 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that certain infants receive the annual flu vaccine—most of which contained Thimerosal. Over the next decade the CDC’s annual flu vaccine recommendations were expanded to include annual flu vaccines for infants, children, adults, and the aged. This is a significant reversal of the positive steps taken between 1999 and 2003. Had the post-2004 CDC recommendations not been taken, this book would perhaps not be necessary for the American public. (Thimerosal continues to be used throughout most of the developing world as the predominant vaccine preservative.)

The continued use of mercury, a known neurotoxin, raises particular concern for populations that are most vulnerable to neurodevelopmental harms, mainly a fetus in utero, infants, young children and the aged. When we speak of the health and safety of our children, our future generation, we speak of a societal responsibility, which we are privileged to bear.

In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a report refuting any link between exposure to Thimerosal and autism. This report relied heavily on several epidemiological studies, which have been criticized for involving conflicts of interest. These studies examined populations of children that were increasingly exposed to Thimerosal throughout the 1990s. Likewise, the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, soared from 1 in 2,000 in the 1980s to 1 in 166 by the early 2000s. This book does not claim that Thimerosal is the only factor in these alarming prevalence rates. It does, however, call for commonsense recognition of the possible role this neurotoxin may have played in the sudden rise in the spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders.

During the writing of this book, I was approached by a CDC researcher who felt personally led to expose instances of research misconduct within the CDC, particularly with regard to a 2004 Pediatrics article, Age at First Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccination in Children With Autism and School-matched Control Subjects: A Population-Based Study in Metropolitan Atlanta. As this book discloses, this is not the first instance of CDC conduct to come under scrutiny. Regrettably, studies on the relationship between vaccines and autism have been subject to misconduct including data manipulation and false reporting.

Many of the CDC’s own studies have demonstrated a link between increased Thimerosal exposures and the development of vocal and motor tics, which are generally recognized as autism-like features. This alarming association has been downplayed to the public. Sadly, public health agencies’ insistence on Thimerosal’s safety has effectively inhibited objective investigations into research misconduct and conflicts of interest within health agencies and the vaccine industry.

I’m from the “Sunshine State” and believe that sunlight is the greatest disinfectant. In this book, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. clearly sets forth the unvarnished truth on Thimerosal.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.” With regard to Thimerosal in childhood vaccines, we have yet to heed Mr. Franklin’s words. After reading this book, I hope you will join us in the battle to make vaccines safer for all.

US Congressman Bill Posey

Preface

Vaccinations are among the most important advances in medicine in the last century. We have eradicated smallpox from the planet and dramatically reduced death and suffering from infectious disease around the globe.

I am aggressively pro-vaccine, as are the editor and introduction contributor of this book. I am a father and family physician. I have vaccinated my children. I have been vaccinated and recommend vaccination to my patients.

Critics of this book will quickly polarize the debate. It is easy to oversimplify the issue of Thimerosal into pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, or to confuse this issue by debating whether Thimerosal causes autism, which has not been definitively proven. This is unfortunate, and detracts from a much simpler set of questions that are ultimately the subject of this scientifically dense book.

There is no debate that mercury in any form is toxic. Scientists may debate the differences in toxicity between different forms of mercury, such as ethylmercury (which is an ingredient in Thimerosal) or methylmercury (from fish). But all would agree that mercury is a potent neurotoxin.

There is also no debate about the dramatic increase in prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, over the last few decades, including learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, and autism.

There may, however, be debate on the strength of the data and science implicating mercury in this increased prevalence of brain injury in children. These questions can never be adequately answered given the challenges of doing experimental studies on human subjects over long periods of time. Obviously, no ethical review board would ever approve a study in which children were purposefully exposed to mercury in order to test its toxicity. Population studies show correlations, but never prove causation, making it impossible to draw firm conclusions.

That leaves us with a very simple, moral question, and ultimately a very personal one. Because at some point in our lives, nearly all of us will have a child or grandchild who requires vaccinations. Or we will know a pregnant woman who will have to decide whether or not to get a flu shot that might contain mercury. All of us are people and parents first, and scientists and policy makers second.

So there is only one question that really matters:

Would you expose the unborn child or infant of a loved one to a vaccine containing mercury, a known neurotoxin, if there were other safer alternatives?

The answer to this question is simply common sense and requires no further scientific inquiry, but as Voltaire said, “common sense is not so common.”

If there were no other options, if it were a question of whether to vaccinate or not to vaccinate, then of course we would choose vaccination. But that is a false choice. There are 137 million children born each year in the world. Is our only option to subject them to a potent neurotoxin in their most delicate neurodevelopmental period? How can we best protect that future generation from preventable harm?

The arguments put forth that we cannot remove Thimerosal from vaccines are invalid. Thimerosal has already been removed from nearly all vaccines except the multidose flu vaccine in the United States. This was based on government recommendations and a call to action from many agencies and health organizations, as is well documented in this book.

However, Thimerosal still remains in nearly all the pediatric vaccines used in the developing world. There are effective alternative preservatives already in use (2-phenoxyethanol), and new ones can be developed. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned mercury as a topical antiseptic (remember Mercurochrome?). And any medical products containing Thimerosal or mercury cannot be thrown in the garbage. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers them hazardous waste. Does it make any sense that even though Thimerosal is not safe to put on your skin, or to throw in the garbage, it is safe to inject into pregnant women and babies?

Cost considerations are also used as an argument to keep Thimerosal in vaccines. There is a small cost increase to use single-dose flu vaccines, but it is minor compared to the cost of neurodevelopmental disease in children. The global cost of taking Thimerosal out of all vaccines is $300 million a year, while the annual cost of autism in the United States alone is well over $100 billion. In the developing world, studies show that there is significant wastage of multidose vials, making single-dose vials comparable in cost.

There are other arguments. Some scientists we spoke to at the Department of Health and Human Services said that Thimerosal may contribute to the effectiveness of the vaccines. Any agent that increases vaccine effectiveness is referred to as an adjuvant. However, Thimerosal is approved for use only as a preservative, not as an active ingredient, and such use is illegal.

I have been involved in reviewing and contributing ideas and scientific references to this manuscript. I have also been involved in efforts to change regulatory and legislative policy to reduce potential harm from Thimerosal. I do not belong to any organization connected in any way with this issue. Nor do I have any personal or financial interest in this issue other than a scientific and moral one.

And, as a physician, my Hippocratic oath is to “first, do no harm.” We should practice the precautionary principle in medicine and avoid doing harm whenever possible. And given the simple fact that mercury is toxic, I can come to no other conclusion than this: we should immediately remove Thimerosal from vaccines and all other products used in medicine.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.'s reputation as a resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions. Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's “Heroes for the Planet” for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group's achievement helped spawn 300 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe.

Mr. Kennedy serves as Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper and President of Waterkeeper Alliance. He is also a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney at Pace University School of Law’s Environmental Litigation Clinic and is of counsel to Morgan & Morgan, a nationwide personal injury practice. He is co-host of Ring of Fire on Air America Radio. Earlier in his career he served as Assistant District Attorney in New York City.

He has worked on environmental issues across the Americas and has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands. He is credited with leading the fight to protect New York City's water supply. The New York City watershed agreement, which he negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and New York City watershed consumers, is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development.

Among Mr. Kennedy's published books are the New York Times’ bestseller Crimes Against Nature (2004), The Riverkeepers (1997), and Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr: A Biography (1977) and two children’s books St Francis of Assisi (2005), American Heroes: Joshua Chamberlain and the American Civil War and Robert Smalls: The Boat Thief (2008). His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Nation, Outside Magazine, The Village Voice, and many other publications. His award winning articles have been included in anthologies of America’s Best Crime Writing, Best Political Writing and Best Science Writing.

Mr. Kennedy is a graduate of Harvard University. He studied at the London School of Economics and received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. Following graduation he attended Pace University School of Law, where he was awarded a Masters Degree in Environmental Law.

He is a licensed master falconer, and as often as possible he pursues a life-long enthusiasm for white-water paddling. He has organized and led several expeditions in Canada and Latin America, including first descents on three little known rivers in Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela.

No Issue More Important to this Nation's Future

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015

Read this book in two days -- could not put it down. The whole book is excellent, but the last chapters are the best. In them, Kennedy offers proof of a government conspiracy to shut down this debate, and the eagerness of almost everyone in the media to assist in this effort. Although he does not discuss this, it seems to me that the courts are our only hope now. Since the parents of vaccine-injured children are not allow to file suit in real courts -- but must instead submit their case to the kangaroo vaccine court set up by the government to protect the vaccine makers -- it seems the best option would be for those parents to join forces with other concerned parents to file injunctions in real courts -- not seeking damages, but rather to stop the forced vaccination programs throughout the nation. California, with its recently passed draconian vaccine law, seems as good a place to start as any. There is, as Kennedy clearly illustrates, plenty of evidence to prove that the science on vaccine safety is far from settled. There is also plenty of malfeasance on the part of the government, including but certainly not limited to, the Thompson revelations about corruption at the CDC, and the white-washing of the Verstraetan studies. My only complaint, if I could fine one, about Kennedy's book is that he limits the book to discussion of thimerosal. There are also very legitimate concerns about aluminum as well as many other chemicals in the vaccines. There are also legitimate concerns about the sheer number of vaccines, and the impact on the developing immune system. It is possible, when and if thimerosol was completely removed, that many children would still be falling ill and succumbing to neurological disorders from the vaccines. My hope would be that he would follow up at some point with a discussion of these other concerns.

Silent Child. . . Why is it okay to ask for Nickel-free earings but not mercury free vax? How to tell who is telling the truth

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

When I ask for a nickel-free earring because I noticed that nickel causes a rash and inflammation on my ear, no one hysterically accuses me of being "anti-earring".
When you are evaluating the messages here, which you must do for the sake of your child's health, think about this:
--98% of people who want to get thimerasol out of vaccines are NOT "Anti-Vaccine" they want vaccines to be safer
--And yet, you will notice that there are hysterical straw men arguments made accusing people who want safer vaccines to be 'anti-vaccine'.
Start there. Why would ANYONE slam the parent of an autistic or brain-injured child and misrepresent their story and their wish unless they had an either religious fervor about vaccines or a financial interest or a desparate wish to hide the truth? If they are really concerned that people will stop vaccinating if they learn that vaccines have dangerous ingredients, then why not join us in making vaccines safer? There is no explanation for their rabid denial that poisons in vaccines are not a good idea, and their continual misrepresenation of this. Excpet a desparate wish to avoid blame or financial loss. Or simply a desparate wish to be correct. But what motivates parents of vaccine injured children and environmentalists like RFK Jr? Common sense and dozens of studies you can find in his book. And a wish to never see another babbling child anywhere in the world, become silent, as so many parents of mercury -poisoned have. It's a poison. Its in vaccines. Get it out! Enough said!!!!
--Read the arguments of those who realize that poisons are not a good idea in vaccines, and that some children are in fact harmed by them. These folks, despite sufferieng greatly due to a vaccine-injured child, do not generally get hysterical. They quote science--as RFK Jr does . They are polite despiite being attacked and misrepresented. They are motivated by an ethical desire to prevent other families from suffering unecessarily as they have. And they do not misrpresent the argument of others. They say "Make Vaccines Safer". Why is that such a dangerous concept? "I want safer highways" does not equal "Anti-Highways" "I want organic tomatoes" does not equal "Anti-Tomatoes". Saying "My child reacted to peanut butter" does not mean you hate peanut butter. WHich side is trying to hysterically shut down all debate? The side that does not have the truth on its side. Vaccines contain dangerous ingredients. There is no excuse for this. And so, those who shout down people who want to make them safer, have nothing to support them but bullying and cruelty. They trot out attacks against Jenny McCarthy--whose son had SEIZURES immediately after vaccines--and yet is not "anti vaccine" but campainged for SAFER GREEN Vaccines (if you don't believe me google it.) They say that Dr. Andrew Wakefield started the debate, because they want to remind other doctors of what will happen to them if they speak their truth, but it was a group of brilliant scientific Moms who made the connection between adding more and more doses of vaccines with mercury increased the autism rate. . Think about who is saying what, think about how RFK Jr's book has fact after fact after fact after study after study, and all they have is ridicule and misrepresentation.. Read the facts. Read them and weep. And then lets' stop injecting pregnant women and babies with mercury. Let's stop. This is crazy. It has to stop.

I want to add one more thought:

I know that so many people, like the trolls, the media and their minions, don't give a flying blank about what happened to our children, and don't want to believe it, and are happy to pretend we are crazy to say that neurotoxins are neurotoxins--because they only happened to hurt OUR children who can't excrete the mercury and aluminum very well. Presumably their children are fine--though I would submit that it hurts everyone, just as lead does. It's just a matter of degree.

But what about the fact that every time people, old or young, get a flu shot, that 25 mcg of mercury is either released in to the sewage system if they happen to be a good excretor, to poison fish and wildlife, or realeased into the groundwater when the person dies and get buried, or gets released in the air if they die and get cremated? And what about all those toxic diapers they get to change if their child happens to be an excetor. . they end up in the landfill, but they get exposed to all that --well---toxic crap. No wonder the babies get such horrible diaper rash. . . And it goes to the landfill in diapers if they have paper ones, and if they are trying to be environmentally correct with cloth diapers, it goes back in the water. . . HOW CAN THIS BE OKAY WITH ANYONE? DUH. WAKE UP. We are allowing a single lazy industry to poison us inside and out.

Well Researched and in Laymans Language.

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2016

It bothers me to no end why so-called experts differ on certain subjects. This book will help you understand the vaccine conundrum. The book is very well researched , comprised of a total of 173 pages , approximately 40 of which are bibliography citing about 20 source references per page of bibliography. Contributions by an M.D ( Mark Hyman ) and a Phd. / M.D. ( Martha Herbert ) lend a certain amount of credibility as well. The book is pro vaccines , but against using the mercury preservative Thimerosal. In 1999 as noted in the book the use of Thimerosal was to be " reduced or eliminated ASAP " by various organizations ; American Academy of Pediatricians ( AAP ) , United States Public Health Service ( USPHS ) , Centre for Disease Control ( CDC ) , Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) , and the National Institute of Health ( NIH ). Some progress has been made , particularly on childhood vaccines , but Thimerosal continues to be used , even though there are ( you guessed it , more expensive ) alternatives. Don't take my word for it , educate yourself , this seems to me to be a good evaluation of the subject.

Very Disappointed - it starts by saying they're 'pro-vaccines'

Very Disappointed - it starts by saying they're 'pro-vaccines', it's a couple of years old & it only focussed on thimerosal. Threw it in the garbage bin.
