Dutch Obstetrical Protocols


The federal government now says it's OK for pregnant women and young children to be
injected with mercury in the H1N1 vaccine.
However, if there were more mercury-free vaccine available, they would recommend that pregnant women and young children get that instead.
Don't be fooled!  Thimerosal is a form of mercury!
Autism rates dropping in California—is phase-out of thimerosal the reason? [from 2005]
Current thinking is that only genetically vulnerable babies will be affected by the thimerosol . . . maybe even as low as 1 out of 200 or 0.5%.
But if it's your child, it's 100%.  Read this mother's story about her children's recovery from mercury-related autism.
