Welcome to the January issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
Our first Newsletter for the new year 2018 starts with a topic related to mercury, a toxic element that has often been discussed. An international treaty called "Minamata Convention" has been put in action in order to reduce the anthropogenic emission of this element to the environment and thereby the human exposure. Yet, direct injection of one of the most toxic mercury species into the human body as an adjuvant of some vaccines has been excluded from this convention.
The reason for such exemption is the stated "safety" of vaccines containing the mercury species Thimerosal that is based on vaccine safety data reported by the CDC. Last month Brian Hooker reported in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons that the data has been manipulated to hide evidence of a relationship between the timing of vaccination and "isolated autism" (see the news below).

NEWS
|

EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and information from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.
With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.
Thimerosal and Autism: CDC Manipulation of Vaccine Data Reported in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It has been four years since he first received a phone call from a scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concerning manipulation of vaccine safety data, writes Brian Hooker, Ph.D., in the winter issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. He had about 40 telephone conversations and exchanged about 10,000 documents by email with Dr. William Thompson. All the data has been shared with Rep. William Posey (R-Fla.)
