CDC Vaccine Committee Recommends More Shots For Children
The Advisory Committee
for Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended yesterday that flu shots be
administered annually to children six months through 18 years of age. ACIP,
functioning under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
umbrella, has been criticized for years by parents of vaccine-injured
children for neglecting vaccine safety considerations in favor of keeping
vaccination rates high.
An estimated 80% to 90% of this year's flu vaccine supply contained the
mercury-based preservative thimerosal, even though the shots can be
manufactured in mercury-free formulas. Most flu shots contain 25 micrograms
of mercury, an amount considered unsafe for people weighing less than 550
lbs. Mercury is known to accumulate in several target organs including the
brain, kidney, liver, and heart. A growing number of parents and scientists
believe that the increased use of mercury-containing vaccines starting in
the late 1980's has led to the huge rise in autism and other learning
disabilities which now affect one in 6 American children.
"The committee's continued recommendation of mercury-containing
vaccines poses unnecessary health risks to the public," said National
Autism Association board member and parent Lori McIlwain. "Their logic for
promoting flu vaccines in children is so that older citizens will be
protected. Yet, children and seniors are both especially vulnerable to
injury from toxic metal exposures."
Government agencies including the CDC have long expressed concerns over
elevated mercury levels in infants, cautioning pregnant women about seafood
consumption because of mercury content. Despite this, ACIP continues to
maintain that directly injecting mercury into children is safe. "This is a
dangerous double standard," commented NAA president Wendy Fournier. "We
urge parents to ask for mercury-free flu shots if they decide to vaccinate
their kids. As a parent, I believe the risk of neurological injury from
unnecessary toxic mercury exposure isn't worth taking."
One mercury-free alternative, FluMist, poses different risks.
Administered intranasally, the live flu virus can be spread to others
through the side effects noted by the manufacturer, runny nose and nasal
congestion. FluMist's package insert states that FluMist recipients "should
avoid close contact with immunocompromised individuals for at least 21
days."
