Q: What are some other materials that<br />

have cause worry throughout the public<br />

about their safety?<br />

A: Materials such as aluminum and iron<br />

have also caused much worry throughout<br />

the public as they voiced their concerns<br />

about the health problems some<br />

think they cause. With that said, trenchant<br />

scientific evidence has shown that<br />

they are indeed healthy in vaccines and<br />

do not cause an health problems. They<br />

are within the vaccines for your safety,<br />

and occur naturally in the human body.<br />

Some people often require iron supplements<br />

if their body lacks amounts of it.<br />

They can be harmful to the body in extremely<br />

large amounts, but no vaccination<br />

gets anywhere close to a level that<br />

would cause problems.<br />

Q: Why was thimerosal removed from<br />

vaccines if it was not the cause of autism?<br />

A: Thimerosal amounts were reduced or<br />

completely removed from vaccines because<br />

we are able to create other preservatives<br />

that can do the same job. This<br />

stemmed from a public movement to take<br />

action against the amount of thimerosal<br />

being used, and we listened, but also,<br />

and most importantly, still kept the vaccines<br />

functioning. As far as the autism<br />

claim goes, there is a wealth of scientific<br />

evidence available to anyone who wishes<br />

to see it, and it all proves that there<br />

is no link between vaccines and autism.<br />

The cause of autism is still very much unclear<br />

to us. Thimerosal was used in the<br />

first place so atrophy 60 would not occur<br />

in multi dose vaccines so they were able<br />

to be used. Children are exposed to thimerosal<br />

everyday, and it is within their<br />

body, so the amounts within vaccines<br />

such as MMR posed no real threat to the<br />

child, except in rare circumstances when<br />

other factors are in play within the child.<br />

Q: What makes a vaccination work effectively?<br />

A: In order for a vaccination to be subjugated<br />

61 , multiple things need to occur.<br />

First off, there needs to be a good<br />

preservative so that no bacteria grows<br />

within and ruins the vaccine. Then, it<br />

is all about administering the vaccine<br />

worldwide so that it greatly reduces the<br />

chances of what it is trying to prevent<br />

from coming up. Vaccinations only work<br />

in a community effort, because there is<br />

strength in numbers. In terms of vaccinations<br />

themselves, they are worked on by<br />

many scientists who strive to perfect them<br />

through trial and error to end up with a<br />

vaccine that does not harm the person,<br />

just stirring enough in the body so that<br />

the immune system reacts to the vaccination,<br />

and then gaining immunity to the<br />

specific disease it was designed for. Multi<br />

dose vaccinations require preservatives,<br />

such as thimerosal, to prevent microbial<br />

growth that would render the vaccination<br />

useless. Since the introduction of thimerosal<br />

in vaccines in the 1930s, there<br />

have been advancements in medicine<br />

that allow for different preservatives to<br />

be used, ones which do not use mercury.
