Children are given vaccination to protect against dieases but Mercury is used as a preservative in vaccines which causes neurological damage in infants, and hence there are a lot of disabilities on the rise is it is justified by doing this

I don't think so that they were using mercury on vaccines. Mercury is basically a poison, we have a lot of presevative that they can use to protect the potency of vaccines.

Hi! I have done a lot of research on this because my daughter is on the Autistic Spectrum. There is no proof that vaccinations cause autism or any other disorder. There is a lot of "buzz" about it right now, but the truth is that nothing has been proven one way or the other.

I strongly recommend vaccines; There'll not be any side/future effects.

My childrens pediatricans office has large signs stating the vacines they use do not contain mercury. I don't know if all offices state the use or not.

There are very rare cases of this happening, it requires a great amount of mercury to cause toxicity. In most cases mothers who have accidentally "eaten" mercury are more likely candidates to have babies with neurological disorder. You may find additional information on this link. And I still think that the ends justifies the means in the case of vaccines. Without it millions of people will get diseases and die of it which could have been prevented in the first place.

The new research shows that there is no mercury in vaccines.
