The findings are not only disturbing to government officials like U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-FL), who is also scheduled to speak before the IOM panel, they suggest autism via TCVs has a higher relative risk than that between lung cancer and smoking, which according to the American Cancer Society is only 22 for men and 11 for women. "This absolutely confirms what parents have been saying for years," says Jo Pike, President, National Autism Association. Like Pike, thousands of parents have reported sharp regressions in their children following a TCV and many of those children have gone on to receive a label of autism. An easy mistake to make since the symptoms of autism and mercury poisoning are almost identical.

The statement in bold contradicts the statement preceding it. Is thimerosil causing autism, or is it causing mercury poisoning that is misdiagnosed as autism?

He will discuss the results from his peer-reviewed study which concluded that urinary mercury concentrations were six times higher in children with autism vs. normal-age/vaccine-matched controls.

What the heck does this mean?

Are these actual autism cases, or mercury poisoning cases?

How long after the vaccine was administered?

What are the urinary mercury levels of non-autistic or non-mercury poisoned children who received thimerosil vaccines?

This article is a mess.

There have been no double blind long term follow up studies of any of this to know for sure the causes.
We know all the kids that are born normal and then come down with regressive Autism do so at the same time as the MMR vaccine 18 months and most parents can tell you clinical indications of high fever, screaming in pain for days, ear aches, and a regression into Autism. Some of the kids do it after the Booster shots. We do no that no one has taken a thousand kids and done follow up studies to see which ones come down with Autism and which ones do not, there are no double blind studies and the government has refused to fund them so far because everyone knows vaccines are safe. There is a genetic portion to this; families with Autism often have a second Autism and or ADHD in one or more of the other kids. In Identical Twins over 50% of the Second twin has Autism but not all of them.
There are several over-lapping factors, a genetic-gene that makes you some-how more able to be damaged by Vaccines. Most of the children have an under-developed immune system that did not respond properly to the vaccine, often not producing any, or very lowered T-cells to the pathogen. Many of the kids have whats called an inflamed gut "Leaky Gut" causing a Gluten and Casein in-tolerance to Wheat and Dairy products that leaks un-digested proteins into the blood that attacks the CNS Central Nervous System causing the Autism. Some have elevated heavy metals including Mercury that seems to be from the Vaccines but could also be compounded by their own in-ability to remove heavy metals from Fish and other sources. These damage the CNS causing the Autism as well. All of this happens at a very young age causing permanent damage to the brain. We just don't know for sure they all are found in Autism cases.
