Study: Mercury From Vaccines

Mercury from vaccines seems to disappear rapidly from the blood, returning to pre-vaccination levels in one month, according to a small study of children in Argentina. The findings bolster the argument that a mercury-based vaccine preservative doesn't cause autism in children, although it is unclear from the study whether some mercury may linger elsewhere in the body.The research addresses an unanswered question about the safety of thimerosal, a preservative that has been eliminated from routine U.S. vaccines, and breaks down as ethyl mercury in the body. It is still used in other countries, including Argentina.
