Thanks Joe: interesting read!

From that site:

thimerosal contains 49.6 percent mercury as a preservative, which is one of the most dangerous toxins known to scientists.

mercury is known to cause neurotoxicity and brain damage that mirrors the symptoms of autism.

This is making me a bit nervous. I've been suspicious that my daughter's problem might have been due to head trauma to the forehead due to a fall (the area of the intellegence function of the brain), hence her IQ of 70. The mere thought NOW that the MMR could have been the culprit.... I could lose sleep over this.

But hey, what am I going to do now? My daughter's not autistic as was once suspected (Asberger's disorder). And we are lucky that she is a highly functioning MID. It's up to me to help her future be the best it can be.

I didn't realize it was that high; does that mean that in 1 cc of vaccine, nearly half is mercury? If people knew JUST THAT, it would majorly impact the industry, I'm sure.
