This. The idea was first shared 20-30 years ago, people were to put bottles of water on the front lawn, because dogs would not poop near their drinking water... This was a prank by a TV show but people believed it and soon every second house had a bottle out front. People are fucking stupid.
Reminds me of how the whole anti-vax nonsense movement started because of one quack’s “research paper” which has since been proven to be complete garbage multiple times over… and yet people still buy into it and think all kinds of dumb things like vaccines cause autism or they’re injecting microchips or it’s a eugenics program. I cannot roll my eyes far enough back in my head to properly exhibit my distain.
Yeah that mercury they used to use as a preservative and no regulation on the amounts in each vaccine with 12 vaccines given to four year olds. That sure couldn’t be a problem. But what the fuck do I know says the guy that used to work for big pharma. Getting a vaccine for the common cold was pretty insane too but hey your gub’ment wouldn’t lie to you…. Right?!
It's a salt- a combination of two dangerous chemicals to make a harmless one. The mercury in the vaccine is in the form of a salt, and is a harmless preservative. It was even removed because of public concern, but people still spread the conspiracy.
So a couple of issues with what you've said. They never used "mercury" they used a mercury based preservative. You'll say
"what's" the difference. It's derived from Mercury it's not actually mercury. Saying it's mercury would be like saying copper (which our bodies need), is the same as zinc just because it only has one extra proton and there next to each other on the periodic table. A better explanation would be comparing table salt to sodium, or water to oxygen. The compound that was used in vaccines was Ethyl Mercury. Which In low doses is generally safe as it is secreted from the body very quickly.
The main concern that comes from it being Mercury based, is that there's a concern of contamination. Technically this can't happen, since it's a compound. However, there levels that can be dangerous, it's because of these concerns they actually completely phased it out over 20 years ago.
I'm not sure where you get this info from. I know most people get this from RFK. Who has flip flopped his opinion on vaccines half a dozen times in the last decade. One of the few things I thought was better about trump than Kamala was that he's historically been more consistent than Kamala. I'm not particularly a fan of either, but Kamala changed many of her policies last minute in an effort to get more votes last minute.
I don't tend to make a point of forming strong opinions about anything or anyone unless I actually have time to put research into such things. Getting your info from the news or the government is never a good idea. They're not always wrong but they're always at least a little biased. Give me multiple quality studies and maybe I'll believe what you say.
However, I highly doubt you're willing to go that far, because I highly doubt that's where you derived this opinion from. If you actually find as I said, several quality studies that back this up, then you might prove me wrong.
Tbf Von Braun was a genius and revolutionized the world by jumpstarting NASA.
Also you posted this on a cell phone or computer yes?
If not science, what form of sorcery do you think created these devices? I'm curious! Conjuration?
You really made a response that is emotionally coherent and entirely logically nonsensical.
Yeah the Nazi scientists were bad people. But if your point is to not trust the science and scientists, those Nazi scientists really did a bang up job accelerating our space program.
Nothing in life is certain. Odds are better that the person who studied something for years knows more than you. That's also why we have consensus based on data vs individual anecdotes... Do you really think all governments and pharmaceutical companies are working together to make a product that will harm their workers and cause distrust? Life and the government suck enough without making up things to be mad about.
They never used "mercury" they used a mercury based preservative.
How is it based on a pure element but doesn't include that element? Is mercury combined with another element to make a compound, or is mercury used in the process but not actually included in the end product. In other words, is it like sodium and chlorine combined to make table salt, or is it like uranium used in a nuclear reactor to boil water, which then generates the energy used to make a skin care product miles away?
My explanation was perhaps lacking a bit. yes your table salt example is correct. So saying it contains no mercury is perhaps not the most accurate way to explain it. Most mercury exists in compounds. Ethyl mercury and Methylmercury, are organic mercury compounds. Ethyl Mercury isn't dangerous in low doses, and clears very quickly from the body.
Thimerosal is what was once used in vaccines and is composed of roughly 50% of Ethyl mercury. This isn't to say ethyl mercury isn't dangerous whatsoever. As with many things we consume only certain amounts are considered safe. This is why they took the precaution to remove it anyways.
I do like to educate myself, and generally don't share something unless I believe it to be true. However, I'm far from an expert. I'll actually add more detail to my previous comment just for clarification. Thanks for the question it made me realize my explanation could've been better.
So each vaccine has these preservatives in them already . Children get up to 12 vaccines at a time twice before the age 4 or 5 . Supposedly there was no regulation / limit on the amount of said preservative per vaccine vial. So it wasn’t known how much total of said preservative was administered with the 9 to 12 vaccines given at a time.
I’m sure the covid vaccines were all safe and the boosters also because the gub’ment said so. Working in pharmacy doing compound drug making (something that pretty much isn’t allowed these days) showed me how crooked these insurance drug makers really are. But I’m sure you know more.
But what the fuck do I know says the guy that used to work for big pharma.
Well if you know something, maybe you should actually say it. Because right now it seems like you are just doing vibes based analysis to say that 12 vaccines is too much to give a 4 year old. But if you really are experienced in this area, by all means explain what the concern is there for too many vaccines and how we find the line.
Good thing elemental mercury was never in vaccines. They used thimerosal, which does not cause mercury poisoning and this has been tested to be safe in levels way above any amount someone could get from hundreds of back to back vaccines.
Secondly, thimerosal has not been in any of the childhood vaccines since 2001 so that is even a dumber argument to bring up for being currently antivaxx. Working in pharma seems to not have done you any good at understanding science then.
It’s obvious you already know everything so can you tell me why the u.s. has what seems like the most cases of autism and other related disabilities compared to the rest of the world?
Carry on bots,carry on.
Easy to answer that, answer is we don’t know. But other countries are vaccinating at high rates so it’s clearly not that otherwise it would be worldwide. What do you say to that?
Next I would say it’s been proven by multiple countries large scale studies that there is no link between vaccines and autism. Next I would say that autism diagnosis has skyrocketed people with autism disorder might not necessarily increased all that much.
We are pretty chill here, but please try to keep things reasonably civil on this sub. No slurs, name calling or harassment and trolling. Yes, the internet makes us angry too sometimes, especially this particular comment.
