Thiomersal (INN) (C9H9HgNaO2S), or sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate, commonly known in the United States as thimerosal, is an organomercury compound (approximately 49% mercury by weight) used as an antiseptic and antifungal agent.

It was invented and patented by Morris Kharasch. The pharmaceutical corporation Eli Lilly and Company gave it the trade name Merthiolate and it has been used as a preservative in vaccines, immunoglobulin preparations, skin test antigens, antivenins, ophthalmic and nasal products, and tattoo inks. The compound is being phased out from routine childhood vaccines in the United States, the European Union, and a few other countries.

Thiomersal's main use is as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. In multidose injectable drug delivery systems, it prevents serious adverse effects such as the Staphylococcus infection that, in one 1928 incident, killed 12 of 21 children inoculated with a diphtheria vaccine that lacked a preservative. Unlike other vaccine preservatives used at the time, thiomersal does not reduce the potency of the vaccines that it protects. Bacteriostatics like thiomersal are not needed in more-expensive single-dose injectables.

  • Please be aware that next to Thimerosol (Thimerosal) in the H1N1 vaccines there is also Squalene.

    During the past decades (!) people in the know (that includes medical doctors) have tried to get Thimerosol out of the vaccines, there is no need for it.

    As you know, without succes.

    If there is no effort to taking it out after a lot of protests, this means only one thing:

    It is still there on purpose, which puts all dramatic efforts of vaccinations around the world in a light of immense crime.

see all

  • As far as I am concerned, Andrew Wakefield is a hero and the criminals who have persecuted him are the scum of the earth.

    Read 'Silenced Witnesses Volume 2' by Martin Walker and 'Callous Disregard' by Dr Wakefield to find out the truth.

  • @vaccineshurtbabies the guy maintains 100% of autistic children also have GI problems when the latest meta analysis from pubmed, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/212975­09 concludes that the current research neither supports or refutes a link. Autism = not an epidemic. Illnesses are biologically plausible if the mercury dose was increased significantly. Guy just builds straw man arguments, aka "toxic waste" gambit, what a joke. Go spam your product placement bullshit somewhere else you quack.

  • @bengalslash Watch the video and stop wasting my time.

  • @vaccineshurtbabies stop spamming for stupid product you troll, homeopathy is garbage

  • Thanks for the info! There are however also numerous other neurotoxins apart from mercury in vaccines. So, apart from mercury being implicated in causing autism, vaccines, vaccines in general need to be regarded as the leading cause - though not the only cause - of autism.

    Vaccine-related disorders can be partially and sometimes even fully reversed with homeopathic CEASE therapy developed by Dr Tinus Smits MD.

  • You know, I had a class with a CIA errand boy. He told me mercury was good for me and I didn't know the latest facts. Then his moronic friends starting ridiculing my 'conspiracy theory'/laughing at me who clearly were his followers. I hope he gets 10 shots and starts drooling on himself. Him and his close minded friends.

  • Although that may be true, some vaccines have saved many many lives. I myself am against vaccines (mainly flu vaccines). Look at the life expectancies in men and women before vaccines came out. I'm willing to bet there will be a significant difference. This also may be due to the considerably better cleanliness of average americans.

  • Everyone needs to read "Autism's False Prophets"

  • Wow, your right, science has discovered that a whopping 1% of autism has been linked to genetics. Go inject yourself with some H1N1 and thimerosal and do the world a favor.

  • @DJuggz06 you just did dignify me with a response and if you have injections, then you are really really dumb
