'The Truth About Vaccines'...

In the light of recent news regarding unsafe vaccines, it seems worthwile to share some information from a book that was first published in 2009 ('The Truth About Vaccines - Making the right decision for your child' by Richard Halvorsen, M.D.)...
It was less than 5 years ago, in October 2004, that mercury was finally removed from routine childhood vaccinations in the UK. It is apparently still present in childhood vaccines in many European countries.
The author says,
"... at the turn of the millennium there was considerable controversy in the USA about the use of mercury in vaccines. Mercury is a highly toxic poison that's been used in childhood vaccines for over half a century. Not only is it dangerous, but it serves no purpose in vaccines used in this country. It has always been assumed to be safe because such small amounts were used in vaccines. But no one in Britain had actually checked whether this was the case. It was found that American children were receiving potentially dangerous quantities. I wondered whether this might also be the case in the UK. As no figures were available, I did the calcultations myself. I discovered, to my amazement, that UK children were receiving over 100 times the upper limit of safe levels of mercury, quite possibly resulting in cases of autism, hyperactivity and speech disorders."
...
"During recent years, mercury-free vaccines have replaced mercury-containing vaccines throughout the Western world. ... Sadly mercury is still present in some flu vaccines given to children in this country. "
