news that's not news
or in other words, something that someone may not want you to know about (otherwise known as a cover-up)
except this is an issue that is near and dear to me.
thimerosal is a preservative that was added to vaccines, most prevalently between 1989 and 2003. this coincides with a spike in autism and autism-related disorders. one would think this to be front-page news material, yes?
but what appears to have happened instead is that the pharmaceutical companies rushed to cover their collective asses first, helped by some key politicians (Senator Bill Frist, doctor and friend to Big Pharma -- yes, you'd think one would take precedence over the other) and only now are "phasing out" adding this poison to vaccines. Not only that, they are still selling their remaining supply, rather than destroying them all and preventing them from ever affecting another life. Absolutely unconscionable.
we're going in for our 3rd pediatric visit tomorrow and I better hear that the Hep B vaccination shot that Naomi took has ZERO thimerosal in it.
Naomi, sometimes I feel very sorry for bringing you into a world like this
