Kandungan Mercury dlm vaksin Imunisasi

Hari ini, baca email di milist mengenai kandungan Thimerosal dlm vaksin yang bisa menyebabkan Autis, ceritanya di email yg gw dpt itu si ibu baca buku "Children with Starving Brains" karangan Jaquelyn McCandless, MD yang diterjemahkan dan diterbitkan oleh Grasindo.

trus habis baca tuh buku baru ngeh kalo Imunisasi Hepatitis B & HiB yg pernah dikasih ke anaknya bikin autis (kebetulan anaknya menderita Autisme Spectrum Disorder ). Nah baca itu gw jadi negri deh, masalahnya Gaby kan udh dapet Imunisasi komplit juga, drpd pusing akhirnya gw cari official link-nya seperti di bawah :

** Thimerosal is approximately 50% mercury (Hg) by weight. A 0.01% solution (1 part per 10,000) of thimerosal contains 50 µg of Hg per 1 mL dose or 25 µg of Hg per 0.5 mL dose.
*** The term "trace" has been taken in this context to mean 1 microgram of mercury per dose or less.
1 HibTiITER was also manufactured in thimerosal-preservative containing multidose vials but these were no longer available after 2002.
2 Children 6 months old to less than 3 years of age receive a half-dose of vaccine, i.e., 0.25 mL; children 3 years of age and older receive 0.5 mL.
3 A trace thimerosal containing formulation of Fluzone was approved on 9/14/02 and has been replaced with the formulation without thimerosal.
4 FluMist is not indicated for children less than 5 years of age.

Thx to Jesus, vaksin yg Gaby terima dinyatakan Free Thimerosal oleh FDA.
Hope this information could help.
