On Tuesday, February 15th 2017, a unique and unfortunately obscure press conference took place in Washington D.C. announcing the following challenge by The World Mercury Project in conjunction with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Robert De Niro:
“We hereby issue a challenge to American journalists (and others) who have been assuring the public about the safety of mercury in vaccines. We will pay $100,000 to the first journalist, or other individual, who can point to a peer-reviewed scientific study demonstrating that thimerosal is safe in the amounts contained in vaccines currently being administered to American children and pregnant women”.
I would like to ask all of my friends and colleagues who are reading this if any of you heard about this challenge in the publications you read or on the television stations that you watch?
Were any of you also aware of a story in 2014 about a Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admitting a corruption of data in a controversial 2004 study that supposedly proved there was no link between the MMR Vaccine and Autism?
Freedom of Speech in the Media
For most of you, I am sure the answer is no, because I believe that the press no longer has the freedom to report the truth. I personally can’t believe that neither of these stories made front page news and this scares me! Are personal interests and profits so deeply entrenched in mainstream media that true freedom of the press no longer exists?
Dangers of Mercury in Dentistry
I have been very vocal in the past about the dangers of mercury in dentistry, but I have preferred to steer clear of the volatile vaccine debate and concern that thimerosol, a mercury based preservative found in many vaccines is highly neurotoxic, especially to susceptible sub-groups. I have decided that I can no longer keep quiet and that I will add my voice publicly, to the many who are calling for safe vaccination.
I believe that this challenge is going to bring to light the fact that there are no safe studies that exist and that at the very least, the scientific and medical community need to admit to the need for further scientific research for the sake of truth and the health of our children!
I welcome your feedback. You can connect with me via email or telephone, leave a comment right here on the site or join in the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
Until next time,
