He posted that video. I can't see all of it, but the text "they are all poison" is not in the black frame.

I don't see the video in this list. I can believe he would post that, but I don't want to endorse some antivaxer's fake if that's what it is. Am I just missing it?He posted that video. I can't see all of it, but the text "they are all poison" is not in the black frame.

The New York Times reported, "President Trump posted a video to his social media platform on Monday asserting that vaccines were linked to autism, an argument he has been making — despite scientific evidence to the contrary — for nearly 20 years. The video, which appears to be old, features Dr. Mark Geier and his son David, who together published numerous studies purporting to show a link between vaccines and autism. David Geier was accused in 2012 of practicing medicine without a license alongside his father in Maryland. He has been installed in the federal government by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, to work on a study on the causes of autism, expected to be released this month."

It's just a video on the mercury preservative in some vaccines. Mostly unnecessary.
"Therefore all vaccines are poison."
Google AI: In most developed countries, thimerosal is no longer used as a preservative in vaccines.

On 15 July at Beyond the Noise Dr. Paul Offit wrote, "First, thimerosal was a trivial addition to the burden of mercury encountered from living on the planet Earth. Because mercury is in the earth’s crust, we ingest mercury every day. It’s in air, soil, and water or anything made from water, such as breast milk and infant formula. Environmental mercury is methylmercury, which has a much longer half-life than the ethylmercury in some vaccines, so it is more likely to accumulate...Because the burden of environmental mercury is much greater than mercury contained in vaccines, studies had shown that the level of mercury in the bloodstream doesn’t change after receiving thimerosal-containing vaccines." Dr. Offit continued, "Western Europe had removed thimerosal-containing vaccines in the early 1990s. Also, some Canadian provinces used thimerosal-containing vaccines and others used the same vaccines that didn’t contain thimerosal. This made it easy to perform studies. About ten studies have shown that children who had received thimerosal containing vaccines were not at greater risk of neurodevelopmental problems, including autism, than those who received the same vaccines that didn’t contain thimerosal."
One of the studies that Dr. Offit cited stated, "Because of the differing pharmacokinetics of ethyl and methyl mercury, exposure guidelines based on oral methyl mercury in adults may not be accurate for risk assessments in children who receive thimerosal-containing vaccines." A portion of the structure of thimerosal is the ethyl mercury group.

How poisonous mercury can get from coal-fired power plants into the fish you eat – Trump’s EPA plans to weaken emissions rules meant to lower the risk
The Trump administration says it plans to roll back mercury limits for coal-fired power plants. A health expert explains mercury’s risks to humans and the role power plants play.

Not a mercury preservative, Thimerosal is a compound that contains Mercury...the same way salt is a compound that contains two poisons---sodium and chlorine.
Unfortunately scientific illiteracy is pervasive because it's easy to shout MERCURY !!!!!!! and much more difficult to explain why it isn't an issue (without repeatedly mentioning mercury).

I know. But it brakes down to various things. I am chemist. Mercury preservative is just a simple way to say it. I use it all the time on social media, as thiomersal is hard to spell and it would take more and more lines to answer that it is a "chemical" or "compound." Or thio. "It has sulfur." Oh, they react.
It's not any random compound. It went through the usual medicinal chemistry discovery route but back in 1927. Make a bunch of compounds and test them:
Thiomersal's main use is as an antiseptic and antifungal agent, due to its oligodynamic effect. In multidose injectable drug delivery systems, it prevents serious adverse effects such as the Staphylococcus infection that, in one 1928 incident, killed 12 of 21 children vaccinated with a diphtheria vaccine that lacked a preservative. (Wiki)
I don't go around saying "teflon is fluorine" as that would be very wrong. Teflon does not release fluorine, though it has some.
There is a whole history of injectable drugs and how to produce them. Compounding pharmacies have got away with making unsafe drugs, but a proper manufacturing plant would make a safely packaged drug. The most exopensive part of the process is to buy a piece of equipment that makes sterile water.

Sure, but salt is "natural" whereas thimerosal or mercury are "chemical", which is proof it is devised by evil people in order to poison us !

I know this, and you know this, but for the scientifically illiterate people who spend their time bleating about evil vaccines and "chemical" medicine, whatever cannot just be plucked from a tree, grown in one's own garden, or bought from a trusted guru/non official dealer, is unnatural and therefore poisonous.
I like to tell those people that rattlesnake venom is also natural but most of them don't make the connection either.

I'll have to reword my general term to "mercury based preservative." It tells a bit more to any chemist or biologist.
Mercury salts are the simplest to make (mercury metal does not work as preservative) but would have a problem in use. Injecting mercuric chloride in ethanol to a person would give a precipitate. You would show that by squirting it into water. It was once used for syphilis:

Here is a clip of what Rand Paul said at a recent Senate hearing. Senator Paul claimed that no healthy child died of Covid-19; in other words, the children that did die had an underlying condition. Jonathan Howard wrote, "Just under 500 children died during the pandemic’s first year, and many thousands more had been hospitalized. COVID’s harms to children were comparable to many other vaccine-preventable diseases, though unlike those diseases, COVID did its damage with strict mitigation measures in place. As I acknowledged, your article said that “emergency use authorizations should be considered for children at genuinely high risk of serious complications,” however according to the most recent data, half of hospitalized children have no underlying conditions, and 18% of these were admitted to the ICU. COVID is not serious for most children thankfully, but it can be really bad for some of them."
In a 2023 essay Jonathan Howard wrote, "One zombie myth spread by misinformation doctors is that COVID had a “mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia.” While deaths of children with “no prior health issues” are mercifully extremely rare, nearly every child in the US has contracted COVID. A small percentage of a big number can be a big number, especially when it comes to largely preventable deaths of children. Moreover, most children felled by COVID had common, non-fatal conditions, namely obesity and asthma, not leukemia, though even this is not always a death sentence today. The tragic truth is that nearly all children who died of COVID were robbed of many decades of life, and of course, death is not the only bad outcome from COVID."
In 2023 Dr. David Gorski wrote, "This brings me to a bit of data, specifically a study that was published a week ago in JAMANetwork Open, Assessment of COVID-19 as the Underlying Cause of Death Among Children and Young People Aged 0 to 19 Years in the US. Let’s just say that, as Dr. Howard and I (and many others) have been arguing all along, COVID-19 is at least a comparable threat to children as any other prepandemic vaccine-preventable child infectious disease."

There must be something in common with all these mass shootings...but he just can't seem to put his mental finger on it just at the moment. Maybe he should ask his uncle, the former president, if anything ever went through his head about this subject.

I've been taking an anti-depressant off and on for many, many years now: how come I've never killed anyone, not even a little bit?
