And you add it with the dead antigen, which is the viral particle, your body confuses that toxin with the viral particle and gets frightened and mounts this huge immune response and the next time it sees that virus the immune response is there at that point vaccinologist went around searching around the world to find the most horrendously toxic materials to add to the vaccines and there is a mantra that says in toxicology that "the more toxic the adjuvant the more robust the immune response," and that's why toxicologists and vaccinologists don't get along with each other as the toxicologist would say to the vaccinologist, " I understand it gives you an immune response but what is the fate of that within your body where is it going is it being excreted is it being lodged in the brain is it penetrating the blood-brain barrier and the vaccinologist could not answer those questions and did not want to and so they basically moved the toxicologist out of the vaccine universe. So when it was added in 1932, the industry said, Eli Lilly said, well, the reason . . . and everybody was saying "How can you put mercury into a child? Who would do that?" And they said well it's a different kind of Mercury. It's ethyl mercury, and Ethel Mercury is excreted very quickly. So it won't stay in your body, and they had no science to say that. But that's what they were saying for years and then in 2003 CDC scientist Michael Pichichero did a study where he gave tuna sandwiches, which were mercury contaminated, to children and then he measured the blood. And the Mercury from the tuna sandwich was there, the half-life, 64 days later. So it was still there for 64 days. Then he injected the children with Mercury from a vaccine, and that mercury disappeared from the blood within a week. And this kind of confirmed what Eli Lilly had said in 1932, "Oh it disappears really quickly from the body," and that was published in the Lancet Pediatrics. But immediately the journal began getting letters from people, including this famous scientist called Dr. Boyd Haley, Chairman of the Chemistry Department at the University of Kentucky. [A video of Boyd on the difficulty of chelating mercury from the brain, and something from Mark Sircus.] And he said, "What happened to the mercury?" because Pichichero couldn't find it in the children's urine or in their feces or in their hair sweat, or nails, so where is it? And then the NIH actually commissioned a study because they at that point we're really trying to figure out whether this was dangerous and they commissioned a very famous scientist called Thomas Burbacher [and his study] up at the University of Washington at Seattle to do a study with monkeys, the macaws, and he did the same study Pichichero did. But he did something that you can't do with children: he killed the monkeys. And then he looked for the Mercury and what he found was the Mercury, yes, it left the blood immediately, the Ethel Mercury from the vaccine was gone from their blood in a week; the methyl Mercury from the tuna fish a month later, 2 months later, it's still there. When he sacrificed the monkeys and did postmortems, he found that the Mercury had not left their body. Instead, the reason it was disappearing from their blood is that Ethel Mercury crosses the blood-brain barrier much easier than methyl mercury from the vaccine was going directly to the brain of these animals and it was lodging there and causing severe inflammation and we now know that it's there 20 years later. So when Burbacher . . . so when I am on the phone with Offit, and he said the Ethel Mercury is excreted quickly. I said, "How do you know that?" He said because of the Pichichero study and because of the study by Pichichero found that it was excreted quickly within a week. And I said, "But you're familiar with the Burbacher study that shows that it's gone to the brain?" and there was dead silence on the phone. And then he said to me "Well, you're right, it's not just that study; it's a whole mosaic of studies." And I said "Can you cite any for me?" and he said I'll send them to you. And he never did, and that's the last I heard.
Offit definitely supports vaccines for kids.
