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.
