Pediatricians and the CDC Love To Poison Children with Mercury – Thimerosal in Vaccines

Published on June 27, 2025

Save a vaccine terrorist organization? When it comes to injecting Thimerosal (mercury) into children and calling it safe, we might as well say alligators in your backyard and great white sharks swimming where you are are enjoyable experiences. The amount of ethylmercury in a multidose flu shot is 25,000 times the EPA’s safety level for drinking water. Federal and state laws provide that whenever expired thimerosal vaccines are disposed of, they constitute hazardous waste.

Between conception and age 18, a compliant American child today could get a cumulative load of as much as 500 mcg of ethylmercury from multidose flu shots—nearly double what they were once getting from all the childhood vaccines put together.

Kids who received 100 micrograms of Thimerosal were over ten times more
likely to have autism than the kids who received no mercury-containing vaccines.
Dr. Mark Geier

In 1998, the FDA banned Thimerosal in all over-the-counter products, ending its use in creams, eye medicine, and disinfectants like mercurochrome. It’s ironic that the CDC, still recommends its injection into babies. No one in their right mind can call vaccines safe because the government pays out billions to parents of vaccine-damaged children.

In 2025, the new slate of vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted Thursday to recommend that Americans receive influenza vaccines that are free of Thimerosal, even though, according to every media outlet, there is no evidence of harm from the preservative. No wonder the mass media have lost the trust of most people. Now the recommendation is that NO ONE, Not One Baby, pregnant woman, or anyone else, get a flu shot with Thimerosal, and the media and every pro-vaccine expert in the world can shout and cry all they want. Still, at least in America, this nasty neurotoxic poison is finally out of the child vaccine schedule.

A 2000 study by the National Research Council found that prenatal and infant mercury exposures cause multiple impacts to basic brain development by disrupting the division and migration of neuronal cells.

In this unbelievable world of ours, medicine has turned against the people’s well-being, meaning they have committed high treason against the sacred medical oath not to harm their patients. A flu vaccine with mercury-based Thimerosal used as a preservative is an insult to the public’s intelligence, but unfortunately, that intelligence has been buried under a thick wall of medical lies and propaganda meant to sell vaccines. Those who sell vaccines are guilty of the chemical rape of children. Nothing could be more disgusting.

Chronic mercury exposure is also a threat to our health and makes us especially vulnerable to flu infections. It has been shown that “prolonged exposure of mammals (white mice) to low mercury concentrations (0.008-0.02mg/m3) leads to a significant increase in the susceptibility of mice to pathological influenza virus strains. A more severe course of infection shows this. In the experimental group, more mice died (86-90.3%) than in the unexposed animals (60.2-68%); additionally, the experimental group died more quickly. The significant difference was in the appearance and degree of pneumonia in the affected animals,” wrote Dr. I. M. Trakhtenberg in “Chronic Effects of Mercury on Organisms.”

The CDC recommends that everyone over six months of age get a flu shot, especially people in high-risk groups, such as those under five or over 65, and people with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma or heart disease.

Saves Lives and Kills People and Children At The Same Time

“Any competent biochemist would look at the structure of Thimerosal and identify it as a potent enzyme inhibitor. What is surprising is that the appropriate animal and laboratory testing was not done on the vaccines containing Thimerosal (and aluminum) before the government embarked on a mandated vaccine program that exposed infants to the levels of Thimerosal that occurred,” wrote Dr. Boyd E. Haley, former chairman of the chemistry department at Kentucky University.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. published in the Huffington Post a few years ago devastating evidence that implicated the CDC in a terrible scandal in regards to the unnecessary injection of millions of children with Thimerosal and now his hand chosen group at the CDC is going to review the use of Thimerosal and probably vote it out of existence, at least we hope so.

“I can assure you that death from vaccination is neither quick nor painless. I helplessly watched my daughter suffer an excruciatingly slow death as she screamed and arched her back in pain, while the vaccine did as it was intended to do and assaulted her immature immune system. The poisons used as preservatives seeped through her tiny body, overwhelming her vital organs one by one until they collapsed. It is an image that will haunt me forever and I hope no other parent ever has to witness it. A death sentence considered too inhumane for this county’s most violent criminals was handed down to my beautiful, innocent, infant daughter, death by lethal injection.” Christine Colebeck – whose daughter died 24 hours after receiving DPT OPV vaccinations

On October 25, 2011, the Coalition for Mercury-free Drugs (CoMeD) exposed communications between Centers for Disease Control (CDC) personnel and vaccine researchers revealing that U.S. officials colluded in covering up the decline in Denmark’s autism rates following the removal of mercury from vaccines.

Documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that CDC officials were aware of Danish data indicating a connection between removing Thimerosal (49.55% mercury) and a decline in autism rates. Despite this knowledge, these officials allowed a 2003 article to be published in Pediatrics that excluded this information, misrepresented the decline as an increase, and led to the mistaken conclusion that Thimerosal in vaccines does not cause autism.

In Denmark, Thimerosal, a controversial mercury compound used as a preservative in certain vaccines, was removed from all Danish vaccines in 1992. The well-publicized Danish study published in Pediatrics (2003) claimed that autism rates increased after Thimerosal was phased out. This study subsequently became a cornerstone for the notion that mercury does not cause autism. However, one of the FOIA documents obtained from the CDC indicates that this study omitted large amounts of data showing autism rates dropping after mercury was removed from Danish vaccines.

One coauthor from Aarhus University, Denmark, was aware of the omission and alerted CDC officials in a 2002 email stating, “Attached I send you the short and long manuscript about Thimerosal and autism in Denmark. I need to tell you that the figures do not include the latest data from 2001, but the incidence and prevalence were still decreasing in 2001.

Nevertheless, in the final draft version of the publication submitted to Pediatrics, the data from 2001 showing a decline in autism was not mentioned. Ignoring this omission, the CDC continued to endorse the article and, on December 10, 2002, a recommendation letter to the editor of Pediatrics encouraged expedited review and publication of the article. The misleading Danish article was published by Pediatrics in 2003.

Eli Lilly developed Thimerosal and sponsored its use for many decades, even though they knew it was dangerous from the very beginning, after everyone in the first medical study died.

My daughter Lyla Rose Belkin died on September 16, 1998 at the age of five weeks,
about 15 hours after receiving her second Hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. Lyla
was a lively, alert five-week-old baby when I last held her in my arms.
Little did I imagine as she gazed intently into my eyes with all
the innocence and wonder of a newborn child that she would die that night.

Conclusion

The FDA has never learned a thing about mercury and still endorses American dentists to place mercury amalgam fillings inches from children’s and adults’ brains. If there’s one remarkable thing about the medical establishment’s behavior around vaccines, it is its virtually complete immunity to evidence, science, and reason.

The evidence is arrayed against the vaccine industry; vaccines do kill children and do cause all kinds of damage, and the U.S. Federal Vaccine Court does dish out billions of dollars to parents whose children have been hurt or killed by them. Why anyone needs more proof than basic chemistry and the legal history of the vaccine court to be convinced of the dangers of vaccines and the particular horror of using Thimerosal is beyond comprehension.

We have been told that mercury is safe in small amounts. But there is no safe amount of a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates. Mercury does not belong in the human body. It damages nerves, interferes with immune function, derails hormonal regulation, and destabilizes emotions.
