Thimerosal == Autism? Guess again
Well, another study has just come back destroying the idea that thimerosal, which contains mercury, is causing Autism, which I’m sure is no surprise to the sane people out there, but I have no doubt it will be ignored by the rabid anti-vaccination crowd.
In short, it’s been seven years since thimerosal was removed from routine childhood vaccinations, and the rate of Autism hasn’t decreased, which would be the expected outcome if it was indeed the causative agent, it has in fact risen, a clear indicator that Thimerosal is, how do you say it, not the cause.
Some more evidence if you ever have to debate with a “Thimerosal == Autism!” person. Good luck.
