The FDA: Mercury compound thimerosal safe? No connection to epidemic of ASD.

With the letter of September 06, 2006 by Dr. Jeffery Shuren for the FDA in response to petitions for removal of thimerosal in all products attempts to whitewash the truth.
There are facts that are being denied and truths that are twisted with no winners in sight. This issue demands attention as our society as a whole is losing. The FDA is a government agency that was intended to protect us from harm now protects those that would harm us.
We have a problem as this is what has been going on for too long. The claim that Thimerosal has been found to be safe based on what was a flawed study should heed warning. How can any medical professional be secure with the knowledge that the safety issue on thimerosal was based on a study that would be deemed inhumane by today’s standards?
The inventor of thimerosal Morris S. Kharasch stated in his patent for his arsenic compound that “This arsenic compound is less toxic than my prior one for [includes the mercury compound] other metals.” Note toxicity is acknowledged.
In 1929 at Indianapolis City Hospital a Dr. K. C. Smithburn intravenously injected 22 patients with thimerosal who were terminally ill with Meningoccial Meningitis. No rashes or site reactions were observed as this appears to be the only reaction looked for in this study. It is obvious that long term physical or neurological reactions could not have been studied as all 22 people died from their illness. [http://cnri.edu/drwilson/imva-paper-09-01-04.htm]
In January of 1931 The American Journal of Hygiene published a paper submitted by H.M. Powell and W.A. Jamieson sighting the Smithburn study. The claim was that this study showed that thimerosal was safe as it shows only low does toxicity. Again thimerosal is in fact toxic. This study was the basis for the FDA to okay the use of Thimerosal.
And despite the claim by the FDA that Thimerosal is not toxic to humans even the inventor and those that put forth this study never made the claim that thimerosal was non-toxic. This of course beyond reason as to how the FDA could come to the conclusion that it has.
Using simple math you will find that many minimal exposures to mercury add up. You will indeed create an overexposure in time. The Gihon Company from Argentina, the world’s producer of thimerosal states on the paper work they must file in Europe that Thimerosal is toxic and children and pregnant women should avoid contact.
However our FDA claims that the use of this preservative is safe in vaccines and other medical applications and products.
And so it goes the cases of ASD continues to baffle us as this one toxin continues to be used and injected into our children and pregnant mothers.
