"Find another way to preserve the vaccine than using mercury."

Thimerosal (sp?), the mercury containing preservative hasn't been used in more than 5 years in any vaccine.

"The special court is still examining evidence regarding another causation theory that links autism with vaccines containing thimersol."

It's spelled thimerosal. That's an FDA link.

It hasn't been given for at least a few years for pediatric vaccinations that are now supplied as single unit dose vials. Only annual influenza vaccinations supplied in multiple dose, aka multidose, vials uses thimerosal as a preservative, IIRC.

Coleus, did you have a link showing the various vaccines and all their ingredients?

I read something in the WSJ. I believe it hasn't been used in the production of vaccines since 2004. Certainly, there was some excess supply, but I don't think most Vaccines have a shelf-life past 12 months.

Not correct. It isn’t used in production of new vaccines, but there isn’t any law stopping old stocks which contain thimerosal from being administered.

Regardless, the aluminum adjuvant may be even worse than mercury.
