Of course, I am aware that correlation in anectodal evidence is not the same as confluence. That being said, I still have to question the wisdom of putting a mercury derivative, thimerosol into vaccines as a cost saving measure as noted in the two previous links provided on this vaccine issue. The following link is NOT a scientific study, but it raises some valid concerns:

As per this article, I would have to ask WHY would congressional Republicans want to add a provision to a homeland security bill exempting Eli Lilly Labs and other vaccine manufacturers from civil law suits regarding thimerosol? Why would they do that?
I thought it was interesting that when a physician found that mercury was contained in teething powder in the 1950's, it was found to be the cause of Pink's Disease which has symptoms similiar to autism.
It was disturbing to think about RH negative mothers receiving thimerosol containing injections of Rho D immunoglobulin at 28 to 34 weeks. And if they had several fillings in their mouths containing mercury, that's a heavy dose of mercury for an unborn child to be exposed to. And then, as a baby
he gets several more injections.
So now thimerosol is not supposed to be in the vaccines in this country.
Why is that? But, because of the use of multidose vials, the children in 3rd world countries continue to be exposed.
And, then there is the conflict of interest issues between pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities, the revolving door between jobs in the private sector and government. When that stops, maybe I'll believe the
NIH.
