Mercury declared 'safe' by FDA. Really?

What's wrong with this picture?

1990 to 2008: Worldwide, governments declare mercury amalgam fillings unsafe and restrict or ban their use.[1] Apart, that is, from America's FDA which curiously classified a mercury amalgam as a device, rather than a substance.

June 2009: Fears emerge that swine flu vaccinations will be mandatory for certain 'groupings', such as children.[2], [3]

FDA declares mercury amalgam fillings 'safe'.

Natural News reports:

Any scientific credibility the FDA might have been clinging to in these last few years has now disintegrated with the agency's recent announcement that after reviewing 200 scientific studies, it has concluded mercury fillings are safe for human health!

Who's behind this corruption? Follow the money.

Lobbies:

It seems the government is not there to look after our interests, but to change the laws to suit corporations and special interest groups.
