Statistics can be manipulated to produce any results you want. Could there be a profit motive for the safe claim?

When you are forced to fall back on conspiracy theories, its time to look elsewhere.

The result showed a STRONG correlation to the onset of autism and dates of vaccination.

I guess they never taught in your PoS class that "correlation does not equal causation".

Once again I ask, since thimerosal was in vaccines for decades, why did autism rates only increase in the 80s?

Because everything was better in the 80s.

Because there was an increase in the number of vaccines given in the first two years of life.

BTW, I read somewhere years ago when thimerosal was first being looked at as a possible problem, that the Hg (methylmercury, ethylmercury, thimerosal)level was set by EPA as 0.1 micrograms per body weight. One vaccine had 12.5 micrograms which would be toxic to a 250 lb. guy much less a 4 lb. infant. Why would they put something like that in a child’s vaccination when in one day they can get multiple shots?
