CDC says only trace amounts of mercury in vaccines... So how much does “trace” mean? According to the CDC, it says less than or equal to 0.3mcg per dose. Sailhome.org does a nice job of putting this into perspective: • 2 ppb mercury is the mandated limit in drinking water • 200 ppb mercury in liquid waste renders it a toxic hazard • 25,000 ppb is found in infant flu shots • 50,000 ppb is found in regular flu shots — recommended for children, pregnant women, the elderly… Also the math on how many ppb in a “thimerosal free” vaccine: 0.3 mcg / 0.5mL = 0.3 mcg / .0005L = …3,000 mcg / 5L = 600 mcg / L 1 mg/KG = 1 PPM (formal definition of PPM) 1 L = 1 KG (density of water or saline solution) 1 mcg/L = 1 PPB (because 1 KG and 1 L of water are equivalent) THEREFORE: 600 mcg / L = 600 ppb Thimerosal in the “thimerosal-free” vaccine Flu vaccine has “only” 25 mcg Thimerosal. The shot is 0.5mL. Let’s do some math: 25 mcg / 0.5mL = 25 mcg / .0005L = 250,000 mcg / 5L = 50,000 mcg / L 1 mcg / L = 1 ppb, therefore The shot has 50,000 ppb of Thimerosal Remember that 2 ppb mercury is the mandated limit in drinking water and normally 200 ppb would label something a toxic hazard. After we find all of this information out, we have to ask ourselves: Why is mercury dangerous??
