Integrating Experimental (In Vitro and In Vivo) Neurotoxicity Studies of Low-dose Thimerosal Relevant to Vaccines

Abstract
There is a need to interpret neurotoxic studies to help deal with uncertainties surrounding pregnant mothers, newborns and young children who must receive repeated doses of Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs). This review integrates information derived from emerging experimental studies (in vitro and in vivo) of low-dose Thimerosal (sodium ethyl mercury thiosalicylate). Major databases (PubMed and Web-of-science) were searched for in vitro and in vivo experimental studies that addressed the effects of low-dose Thimerosal (or ethylmercury) on neural tissues and animal behaviour. Information extracted from studies indicates that: (a) activity of low doses of Thimerosal against isolated human and animal brain cells was found in all studies and is consistent with Hg neurotoxicity; (b) the neurotoxic effect of ethylmercury has not been studied with co-occurring adjuvant-Al in TCVs; (c) animal studies have shown that exposure to Thimerosal-Hg can lead to accumulation of inorganic Hg in brain, and that (d) doses relevant to TCV exposure possess the potential to affect human neuro-development. Thimerosal at concentrations relevant for infants’ exposure (in vaccines) is toxic to cultured human-brain cells and to laboratory animals. The persisting use of TCV (in developing countries) is counterintuitive to global efforts to lower Hg exposure and to ban Hg in medical products; its continued use in TCV requires evaluation of a sufficiently nontoxic level of ethylmercury compatible with repeated exposure (co-occurring with adjuvant-Al) during early life.

“How on earth has France sided with islamists to commit mass murder in Libya and Syria? Under the false pretext of protecting civilians, France has returned to colonialism. For Andre Chamy, France should not betray French ideals and the values of the left, he should change direction.”

Comment diable la France s’est-elle embarquée aux côtés des islamistes dans des crimes de masse en Libye et en Syrie ? Sous le prétexte fallacieux de protéger les populations civiles, Paris renoue avec le colonialisme. Pour Me André Chamy, François Hollande ne peut trahir les idéaux français et les valeurs de la gauche, il doit changer de cap.

The move marks an extraodinary breakdown in trust between leading central banks and has set off ferment among gold enthusiasts, with some comparing it with France’s withdrawal of gold from the US under President Charles de Gaulle as the Bretton Woods currency system crumbled in the late 1960s.

The British ruling class is in total disarray. They expected, not without good cause, that they could build a closer alliance with the USA and integrate themselves into the Anglosphere. But Obama has has brought about an historic policy shift towards realism, a shift whose full ramifications will only become fully evident with time. But already he has ended the assault on Europe and he is about to negotiate a settlement with Syria which will not involve the departure of Assad. The humiliation of Cameron and Haig will be complete.
