If thimerosal were the primary cause of autism and thimerosal was used so extensively then why wouldn’t the autism rates be higher - much higher? Say, around 50%?
The dirty secret is that the symptoms of autism appear about the same time that we vaccinate the young.
Corrolation, however, does not imply causation.
Take it from one who KNOWS.
This is an issue we can ignore. There is simply no evidence that vaccines cause autism.
We vaccinated our 3 kids. We figured that we would rather chance autism than death from preventable childhood diseases. Simple choice.
Looks like no one bothered to read the article.
Here’s the money quote:
“What was entirely overlooked in this case was the most likely culprit to cause Autism, which is the prolonged fever which follows multiple vaccinations in infants and toddlers 5 years and younger. At such a young age a child’s brain is in a full development process and long periods of high fever literally fries the circuits of nerves which are vital to a well developed brain.”
That brings up a valid point. Seems like an incident (or multiple incidents) of high fever should be avoided in small children. Whether it means that autism is caused by that or not is another question.
