 On Friday, May 6, 2011, in Tallahassee, Florida, a Republican State Senator filed an amendment to regulate vaccines containing mercury in Florida.  The amendment would have made it illegal to buy, sell, manufacture, deliver, import, administer or distribute any vaccine that contained more than 0.3 micrograms of organic or inorganic mercury per milliliter for children younger than age 7 or pregnant women.  Despite support for this vaccine safety measure, the amendment was voted down.

Hmmmm I wonder why?

ah yes - here's why

 

Ignoring that report and the ever-increasing evidence of harm, Florida Senator Nan Rich (D-Sunrise), who opposed the amendment, stated, "All the credible evidence out there shows that Thimerosal has nothing to do with autism," as if other proven harms linked to Thimerosal in vaccines do not matter. Senator Alan Hays (R-Umatilla) erroneously claimed mercury had been removed from all vaccines.  A prominent Tallahassee lobbyist reported that he had never, in his 20-year career, seen such as swarm of pharmaceutical industry lobbyists descend on Tallahassee in opposition to a bill.
