Thimerosal Side Effects

 

Thimerosal Side Effects. Thimerosal is the most common preservative that is used in vaccines and biologics that are marketed in the United States. Thimerosal is used to help prevent a vaccine from spoiling, for inactivating bacteria used to formulate several vaccines, and in preventing bacterial contamination of the final product.

Several of the vaccines recommended routinely for children in the United States contain ‘Thimerosal’. However, reports have surfaced linking ‘Thimerosal’ to mercury poisoning in infants often causing autism.

Our Dedicated Lawyers and Attorneys Have Years of Experience Handling Defective Drug Lawsuits Such As Thimerosal

On July 7, 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued with the US Public Health Service (USPHS) a joint statement alerting clinicians and the public of concern about ‘Thimerosal’, a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines.

The reason for the warning is that ‘Thimerosal’ contains related mercury compound called ethyl mercury

The reason for the warning is that ‘Thimerosal’ contains related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.

The Food and Drug Administration suggested that some infants, depending on which vaccines they receive and the timing of those vaccines, may be exposed to levels of ethyl mercury that could build up to exceed one of the federal guidelines established for the intake of methyl mercury. Symptoms of mercury toxicity in young children are extremely similar to those of autism.

This can explain the recent increase in the numbers of children diagnosed with autism since the early 1990’s. The numerous amount of children diagnosed with autism seems to directly correlate with the recommendation of both the hepatitis B and HIB vaccine to infants in the early 1990s.

Autism is a neurological disorder that is characterized by impairments in language, cognitive and social development.

In June I had a car accident and I was hesitant to find a lawyer but my family urged me to. I searched the web and asked some co workers for any recommendations. One of my workers said the name Waichman found the web site of Parker Waichman and I called them. The woman who answered the phone was informative and compassionate. By that evening a representative from the law firm was at my home and answered all of my questions. With in the next few days I was contacted by several individual from the firm including a Nurse who continues to contact me on a regular basis to see how my recovery is progressing. I am happy my family convinced me to retain an attorney, I have received hundreds of papers from my insurance company and if I had to sort them out I would be lost. I feel confident that I made the right choice with the firm of Paker Waichman.
