Betrayal Documents from the archives of Eli Lilly & Company
clearly demonstrate that it was known as early as April 1930 that the
thimerosal was dangerous. Yet last night ABC news felt perfectly
comfortable to put Dr. Tim Johnson on the air to speak about how the
"benefits" of vaccines far outweigh any possible harm.
Dr. Johnson gave a one-sided commentary that championed the IOM and
CDC, which still endorse the use of thimerosal in vaccines. Johnson
also had the audacity to ridicule Robert F. Kennedy Jr. saying he was
an "environmental activist and not a scientist nor a doctor and
was not in a position to fully understand these things."
The Huffington Post reported, "Last week ABC canceled a
story about a dangerous chemical in child inoculations. Last night,
the network broadcast a recut version of its original story that
had been edited into a piece of industry propaganda. ABC's original
program showed how the vaccine industry, working with
public health officials from the CDC and the federal government's
Institute of Medicine (IOM), may have poisoned a generation of
American children with the
mercury-laced vaccine preservative thimerosal. The night before the
scheduled airing, the shows were cancelled by high-level
ABC officials."(i)
The reaction to the recut version from parents across the country
was a mixture of disgust and outrage. One mother exclaimed,
"I was speechless with anger, especially when at next
commercial break the ads were selling drugs." What was obvious
to even the casual observer was that ABC will not bite the hand that
feeds them, which is the big pharmaceutical companies that buy
air time for commercials. Don Imus, who interviewed JFK on Monday,
was quoted as saying, "What ABC did last night was embarrassing
and disgraceful."
You would have been greatly offended if you had seen how
Robert Kennedy was treated by ABC News last night. It was the worst
of American journalism that I have ever seen. After tonight there
is no doubt that the pharmaceutical industry totally controls the
mass media.

There are powerful vested interests that dearly want to see the
autism epidemic forgotten and there are hundreds of thousands of
outraged parents and caretakers who are hungry to identify and sue
those responsible. The greatest medical scandal of the last century
is finally making its way onto prime time television. In what was
perhaps the best kept secret of the 20th century thimerosal was used
without a care to its danger and the best the people in the know could
say was: "My first reaction was simply disbelief, which was the
reaction of almost everybody involved in vaccines," said
Dr Neal Halsey who heads the Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety.
"In most vaccine containers, thimerosal is listed as a
mercury derivative, a hundredth of a percent. And what I believed,
and what everybody else believed, was that it was truly a trace,
a biologically insignificant amount. My honest belief is that if the
labels had had the mercury content in micrograms, this would have
been uncovered years ago." Dr. Halsey was responsible, with
others, in approving an increase in childhood thimerosal bearing
vaccines fifteen years ago. His words here show a great alarm at
the level and danger of mercury in vaccines yet today the
Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety and the rest of the
medical establishment vigorously deny the danger and any link between
thimerosal and autism.
Dr. Halsey's comments were from five years ago when the
FDA forced the CDC to review all medical products with mercury in
them. During all this time the medical establishment has not budged
in their backing of thimerosal and the reason is obvious as parent
Max Salinas reminded everyone this morning. "Actually, consider
that it is estimated that each ASD child may require $2M in support
over his/her life, and there are an estimated 500,000 ASD children
in the US alone, that comes up to $1 trillion. And that's just in
the US! I'd say they're starting to worry big time!"
Johnson ridiculed RFK, yet readily accepted the CDC's and the
IOM's position on thimerosal. The CDC said there is no cover-up and
Johnson took them at their word without researching into the truth of
the matter. So great is the lockstep in the mainstream press around the
vaccine thimerosal issue that one seems like a fool to suggest that the
medical establishment is wrong. Yet thousands of parents are primed
today to inundate ABC with protest of last nights lopsided
news broadcast. The National Autism Association suggests today that
the entire autism and developmental-delay community flood ABC with faxes.
It is clear when it comes to medical issues the mainstream press
feels compelled to present allopathic medicine and the
pharmaceutical companies in a favorable light without care to the truth or
falsity of what they are expressing. As long as it's the truth accepted by
medical officials and politicians they feel secure even if the officials are
themselves covering up the truth. But when it comes to medicine we are
playing around with people's and children's lives so it really matters what
the truth is. The public has put a great trust in their doctors,
medical officials and in the medical press. People depend on the press for
important information on which to make important decisions.
ABC news last night competed with the worst
science fiction horror movie showing how corporations can totally
highjack the news media into totally lying to the public. Bracketing
the show with advertisements for drugs, ABC showed who its real masters
are and what they really care about, the advertising dollars from the
pharmaceutical companies. This represents a huge betrayal of
public trust and demonstrates how seriously compromised this
news agency is.
Interesting enough the American Medical Association on Tuesday
refused to back a ban on prescription drug ads, despite rising
concerns about the dangers of certain heavily marketed painkillers and
antidepressants. Health activist Tim Bolen is calling for a halt to
drug advertising to the general public and even wants to make it
against the law for drug "detail" men to talk directly to
doctors at all. Bolen suggests that by stopping
pharmaceutical advertising, "We'd get our media back.
National Television news channels, the last time I looked, had
fifty percent of their advertising devoted to drug ads."
If you cannot trust the medical press and your doctor to inform
you of different opinions that exist on important medical issues
who can you trust? Trust is leaking out of the medical press and the
overall medical community like oil leaking out of a damaged
supertanker and last night ABC widened that hole considerably.
Today more people are dying at the hands of the medical establishment
than ever before. What does that tell us about modern medicine and
the press that reports on it? The common myth that vaccines are
harmless, for example, or that doctors are infallible and that
medical researchers are seldom unethical contributed to the blind trust
that only causes people to die or to be seriously harmed by medicines
they should never have taken in the first place.
Human greed gave rise to an exceptionally poisonous idea, perhaps
the most evil idea in human existence, the idea of short-term gain
or profit. With this as the backbone of corporate philosophy the way
was cleared to earn profit at the expense of the environment and at
the expense of people's very lives. One anonymous person said,
"Robert Kennedy, Jr. has done this country a great service by
taking on the pharmaceutical companies and exposing them for what
they truly are, greedy. At the expense of a generation of children born
during the last 15 years these legal drug dealers have made
billions of dollars, bought our government and now own the airwaves.
It is time for Americans to realize that evil doesn't only happen in
other countries, it also happens right here at home." Many believe
sincerely that this is the most corrupt period in American history —
a legacy of the Reagan era when corporations grew exponentially in their
power due to deregulation. Last night ABC showed this to be true. Some
people go as far as asserting that the weapons of mass destruction, that
Bush so ardently tried to find in Iraq, have been found and that they
were administered to American children by US doctors with the knowledge
of the US government, the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry."
The thimerosal issue is threatening the entire fabric and integrity
of the medical industrial complex as well as the fabric of society which
now has more than one in six children falling to one kind of
neurological disorder or another. It is also political dynamite when
you learn that the Bush family and the present administration have
too many ties to Eli Lilly. There is President Bush's father, who after
stepping aside as Director of Central Intelligence in 1977, was made
director of the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company by the family of
Dan Quayle, who owned the controlling interest in the company. There
was White House budget director Mitch Daniels, once an
Eli Lilly executive; and Eli Lilly CEO Sidney Taurel, who served on
the president's homeland security advisory council. And when we learn
that on the Institute of Medicines Governing Council is
Gail H. Cassell, PhD, of Eli Lilly and Company we have reason to
fear for our children.
There is nothing small about this issue. And even though in the
United States most of the thimerosal has been taken out of
children's vaccines it is still present in the flu vaccines given to
children. The ever present danger of this is exemplified in the
personal story you will find below by Dr. Alan Clark. His story shows
clearly that parents have every reason to continue to fear our
doctors and medical officials and the medical establishment in general
who do not want to come clean with the truth. We need to nail down the
truth about thimerosal in vaccines so we can then get on with the
business of helping the generation of children who have been
grievously harmed.

My son was 7 1/2 years old when he reached his
"toxic tipping point" with mercury after he received
two doses of Thimerosal-containing influenza vaccine in November 2002
and December 2002 (approximately 30 days apart per the
ACIP/CDC guidelines). Within a matter of weeks he experienced
dramatic changes...he suffered severe neurodevelopmental changes,
neurobehavioral symptoms, exacerbated allergies, asthma, eczema, etc.
Within 10 months, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, an
autism spectrum disorder. Only when we identified mercury as the
culprit and started to remove the heavy metal from his system, did he
begin to recover. Are you aware the symptoms of mercury poisoning are
virtually identical to those of autism?
As a "mainstream" physician for 30 years this seemed to
go against all my "conventional" training and was outside
the realm of my previous standard of practice. I sought additional
training with heavy emphasis on environmental medicine and spent many
hours speaking with researchers and clinicians familiar with
mercury toxicity and its biomedical symptoms. I shared this knowledge
and research with my son's health care team
(pediatrician and endocrinologist) and we implemented these
new modalities into his treatment protocol. As I stated previously,
only then did my son begin to improve.
If it was not mercury causing his problems then explain with
medical certainty why he only improved when we addressed the
mercury issue. Do not make the mistake of thinking there is
"no credible scientific evidence" of how and why this
is true. There is a plethora of peer-reviewed scientific studies
published over the last 50 years that mercury and specifically,
Thimerosal (49.6% ethyl mercury by weight) is genotoxic (damages DNA),
nephrotoxic (damages kidneys), immunotoxic (damages the immune system),
cytotoxic (causes cell death), cardiotoxic (damages the heart),
thyrotoxic (damages the thyroid) and neurotoxic (damages the
neurological system).
Many of the biological mechanisms for the damage caused by
Thimerosal have been identified. Thanks to numerous studies
published within the last few years, we have a better
understanding of why some children are more susceptible than others.
