removed.

mercury-containing vaccine that contains more than 1.25 micro
grams of mercury per dose.

ON July 5, 2005, the Food and Drug
Administration released a list of vaccines
with thimerosal (49.6 percent ethyl mercury). The following vaccines, still
contain mercury as part of their manufacturing process or as a preservative.

According to Barbara Mullarkey, IVAC president, "Many
researchers and parents link neurotoxic mercury in vaccine to
neurological disorders and increased rate of children's autism.
Parents nationwide are concerned that 1 in 166 children are
autistic. In the 1930's, Eli Lily first produced vaccines 'thimerosal.'
Illinois provides vaccination exemptions based on personal religious
beliefs for grammar, high school and college students.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA
DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Article 9 (commencing with Section 124172) is added to Chapter
3
of Part 2 of Division 106 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:
Article 9. Mercury-containing Vaccines
124172. (a) Except for an influenza vaccine described in subdivision
(b), on and after July 1, 2006, a person who is knowingly pregnant or who is
under three years
of age shall not be vaccinated with a mercury-containing vaccine or injected
with a mercury-containing product that contains more than 0.5 micrograms of
mercury
per 0.5 milliliter dose.
(b) On and after July 1, 2006, a person who is
knowingly pregnant or who is under three years of age shall not be
vaccinated with a mercury-containing influenza vaccine that contains more
than 1.0 microgram of mercury per 0.5 milliliter dose.
(c) The Secretary of the Health and Human Services
Agency may exempt the use of a vaccine from this section if the secretary
finds, and the Governor concurs, that an actual or potential bioterrorist
incident or other actual or potential public health emergency, including an
epidemic or shortage of supply of a vaccine that would prevent children
under three years of age and knowingly pregnant women from receiving the
needed vaccine, makes necessary the administration of a vaccine containing
more mercury than the maximum level set forth in subdivision (a), or
subdivision (b) in the case of influenza vaccine. The exemption shall meet
all of the following conditions:
(1) It shall not be issued for more than 12 months.
(2) At the end of the effective period of the
exemption, the secretary may issue another exemption for up to 12 months for
the same incident or public health emergency, if the secretary makes a
determination that the exemption is necessary as set forth in this
subdivision, the Governor concurs with the exemption, and the secretary
notifies the Legislature and interested parties pursuant to paragraphs (3),
(4), and (5).
(3) Upon issuing an exemption, the secretary and the
Governor shall, within 48 hours, notify the Legislature about the exemption
and about the secretary's findings justifying the exemption's approval.
(4) Upon request for an exemption, the secretary shall
notify interested parties, who have expressed their interest to the
secretary in writing, that an exemption request has been made.
(5) Upon issuing an exemption, the secretary shall,
within seven days, notify interested parties, who have expressed their
interest to the secretary in writing, about the exemption and about the
secretary's findings justifying the exemption's approval.

Please join our efforts to
eliminate the BRAIN TOXIN MERCURY from TN children's
and pregnant moms' vaccines. Prayer is appreciated!!!!
Recently, Delaware, New
York and Illinois legislatures passed similiar bills banning Thimerosal,
following Missouri, Iowa & California.
http://www.nomercury.org/state_legislation.htm
Michigan, Tennessee and
hopefully up to 20 others may soon join legislators
in Missouri, California, Iowa, Illinois, New York, and Delaware in banning
mercury
in the form of thimerosal from vaccines.
The hypothesis that mercury causes autism and Alzheimer's disease is
a new truth. And as Schopenhauer points out, each new truth passes through
three stages:
First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. And third, it is
accepted as self-evident.
The mercury truth is now in the second stage."
