| These results suggest that there are differences in the way that thimerosal and methyl mercury are distributed, metabolized, and excreted. |
|
| A decade ago thimerosal was removed from the childhood vaccines that anti-vaxxers claimed were causing autism. |
|
| Except for local hypersensitivity reactions, thimerosal has not been found to cause any harm. |
|
| And because thimerosal is added in the manufacturing process, its presence may not even have to be disclosed on the labeling. |
|
| Steps were rapidly taken to remove thimerosal from vaccines by switching to single-dose vials that did not require any preservative. |
|
| Over the years, researchers provided Eli Lilly with numerous articles indicating the hazards of injecting humans with mercurial substances such as thimerosal. |
|
| Some people know they have an allergy to thimerosal or to one of the constituents of the vaccine. |
|
| Although more effective than merbromin, thimerosal shares the disadvantage of poor tissue penetration and tissue fixation and therefore has limited bacteriostatic activity. |
|
| Most people will be asked if they have had a severe allergy. They will be asked if they've ever reacted to an influenza vaccine or to thimerosal. |
|
| I read in your presentation that squalene seems to be a problem, or thimerosal, and I've heard of that before in regard to autism. |
|
| Persons allergic to thimerosal should receive a thimerosal-free version of the vaccine. |
|
| Nonetheless, 5,000 families who believe there is a link between autism and thimerosal are looking for compensation from the US government. |
|
| Sure, I can counsel concerned parents that none of the childhood vaccines I will be administering contain thimerosal. |
|
| Polio, MMR, and varicella vaccines have never contained thimerosal. |
|
| In fact, several of the studies found that children who received vaccines with thimerosal were less likely to develop autism. |
|
| Clearly, something other than thimerosal is to blame for this troubling trend. |
|
| This was enough for all the major medical and health associations to announce that thimerosal had no connection to autism. |
|
| Today, with no thimerosal used in vaccines, the autism rate is over five cases per 1,000 children. |
|
| Neurotoxic effects of thimerosal at vaccine doses on the encephalon and development in 7 days-old hamsters. |
|
| Nevertheless, due to the speculation and public criticism, thimerosal has been phased out in most vaccines and very few available in Canada still contain the preservative. |
|
|
|
| I also had weak positive reactions to common chemicals such as colophony, and thimerosal. |
|
| One of the ingredients in thimerosal is mercury, a known toxin. |
|
| Another example of missing information arose from a case concerning the hypothesis that the use of thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, in vaccines caused autism. |
|
| If a thimerosal preservative-free product is not available, it is clearly better to administer a vaccine containing thimerosal than to allow a susceptible person to suffer the disease that the vaccine will prevent. |
|
| Between 1999 and 2001, thimerosal was removed or reduced to trace amounts in all childhood vaccines except for some flu vaccines. |
|
| About that same time it was discovered thimerosal, a preservative containing mercury, was used in vaccines. |
|
| Sources of mercury include dental amalgams, contaminated drinking water, contaminated fish, and the vaccine preservative thimerosal. |
|
| A federal court ruled in March that vaccines containing the preservative thimerosal do not contribute to or cause autism. |
|
| If encountered in future studies, this information confirms gender differences in thimerosal toxicity. |
|
| This month physicians and advisers of the German military have nixed the approved H1N1 vaccines containing squalene and thimerosal, which is also a concern. |
|
| Soon after, he was drawn into another controversy surrounding claims of a link between autism and thimerosal, a product used to sterilize vaccines and known to contain small traces of mercury. |
|
| Multi-dose vials of influenza vaccine do contain thimerosal. |
|
| Scientific evidence has refuted this risk, and it is no longer necessary for health care providers to raise this as a concern before administering influenza or hepatitis B vaccines, which may contain thimerosal. |
|
| Should you be concerned about thimerosal in vaccines? |
|
| This also blames MMR for causing cases of autism, but the guilty component is alleged to be a mercury-containing compound called thimerosal, which is used as a preservative. Now there is a new twist in the tale. |
|
| The paper has since been entirely discredited, and Dr Wakefield censured. Other parents fret about thimerosal, a preservative that contains trace amounts of mercury. |
|
| No, it does not contain thimerosal or any other preservative. |
|
| While expounding the other day on the lost antiseptic mercurochrome, I mentioned that vaccines once contained an antibacterial and antifungal agent called thimerosal. |
|
| Flublok is highly pure and does not contain thimerosal, gelatin or latex. |
|
| These concerns are primarily due to the expansion of the infant immunization schedule and exposure to thimerosal, once used as a preservative in some vaccines. |
|
|
|
| He has promoted the idea of a link between thimerosal and autism. |
|
| Neonatal administration of a vaccine preservative, thimerosal, produces lasting impairment of nociception and apparent activation of opioid system in rats. |
|
| Thimerosal was dropped as a preservative in MMR vaccines in 1999, but since then autism rates have skyrocketed. |
|
| Thimerosal has undergone extensive testing and has a good safety profile, despite what is alleged by many antivaccinationists. |
