The battle for the safety and well being of our children from our own Federal Government continues as a "so called special court" ruled 3/12/2010 that vaccines could not have caused the Autism of an Oregon boy, William Mead. In a nutshell the Mead family believes that thimerosal-containing vaccines were the cause of their son's regressive Autism, but the court ruled otherwise as its ruling stated there were no scientific evidence to support their claims.

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.
Anyone who let’s their kids be vaccinated by flu vaccines
are stupid
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.
