Summary Context

This paper shows the increase in ADHD and Tourette’s syndrome are significantly statistically associated with mercury containing vaccines in childhood.

Comments

This study explores the Vaccine Safety Datalink to explore the connection between thimerosol-preserved hep B vaccines and Tourette’s, ADHD, and hyperkinetic syndrome of childhood (HSC)

Abstract or Results, Key Passages

“This hypothesis testing study; using the Vaccine Safety Datalink; assessed the toxicological effects of bolus exposure to organic-Hg from Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs) by examining the relationship between Thimerosal-preserved hepatitis B vaccines (TM-HepB) given at varying levels and at specific intervals in the first six months after birth and the risk of a child being diagnosed with HKSoC. The results indicate that increasing organic-Hg exposure from TCVs heightens the risk of a HKSoC diagnosis.”
