On page 228 we see another admission information 50 that It seems that aluminium readily combines that the government has had no interest in demonstrating the safety of thimerosal- containing vaccines, despite the existence of over 2,000 articles showing the harmful effects of mercury. Here we see a reference to the fact that the FDA "has a wonderful facility in Arkansas with hundreds of thousands of animals" available for any study needed to supply these answers on safety. The big question to be aske is why the government has ignored the need for research to answer these questions concerning thimerosal safety. You will recall that at the beginning of with fluoride to form this toxic compound. With over 60 per cent of communities having fluoridated drinking water, this becomes a major concern. It has also been learned that fluoroaluminium compounds mimic the phosphate compounds and can activate G-proteins. G-proteins play a major role in numerous biological systems, including endocrine, and _ in neurotransmitter function as cellular second messengers. Some of the glutamate receptors are operated by a G-protein mechanism. it will not get out— and, if it does, how to control the damage. the conference the participants Damage control complained that there are just so few studies or no studies Over the next 10 to 15 pages, they discuss how to control this concerning this "problem". information so that it will not get out—and, if it does, how to con- Again, Dr Robert Brent rails about the lawsuit problem (page trol the damage.
