Another massive lawsuit in the works I see.
Heres one for the books. Since I had poor teeth enamel (genetic) I ended up with every single molar having massive mercury amalgam fillings. I have had them since my permanent teeth came in (including replacements). I eat lots of tuna, have kept my vaccinations completely up to date for years, "played" with metallic mercury in the lab, worked with mercury compunds, used mercury medical solutions (such as Mercurichrome), etc. so I finally had both a mercury and heavy metals test done on myself last year just to see what levels there may be in the body. It came back that I was just fine.
Actually, Googling thimerosal and autism now I see a lot less lawyer websites than a year or so ago. Up until then, the first 50 hits or so were almost all lawyer or affiliated sites. Now there are onlyh a couple. The only thing that can mean is that the facts are about as solid as it can get that there is no causation.
Like I said earlier, thimerosal was mandated to be removed from children's vaccines around 2000, although some multi-use vials with the preservative in it still exists. But what these people fail to realize is that single use dosepacs were prevalant long before 2000, so the amount of thimerosal a child was getting is much lower than it had been, and yet we still see autism cases continue to rise.
Don't you realize, it's a big conspiracy. The evil profit-mongering pharmaceutical companies snuck in and changed your test results in the middle of the night, so no one will get wise to their plan to poison everyone with Hg.
In fact, their secret headquarters is located in Dallas, underneath the "grass-knoll" next to Dealy Plaza....... and if you listen vary carefully, you can hear their secret radio transmissions through the mercury-filled amalgam fillings in your teeth.

Congratulations. You're fine.
Statistics of one are irrelevant.
