Rodishi, according to the FDA the vaccine which everyone always associates with autism, the Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine [MMR], has never ever ever contained even a trace of thimerosal.
Thimerosal in Vaccines
Several other vaccines USE to contain small traces of thimerosal (mercury) but since 2001 none of the routine pediatric immunizations contain even a trace. The only one that still does have small traces of thimerosal, which serves as a preservative in multi-dose vials, is the flu vaccines, which are also available to pediatric patients in a preservative free dose.
The MMR was mistakenly associated with autism because of the timing of it which correlates with the child's stage of development when he would typically present with autistic type symptoms, at around 15-18 months of age. Eventually the science proved it was a coincidental correlation but nothing ever proved the MMR shot had anything to do with the causation autism.
All of this FACTUAL info which is backed up by all of the reliable sources I've already posted in this thread.
Trolls don't address people's responses. Be prepared for another irrelevant copy and paste that doesn't address your point. Or the wonderful response, if its not thimerisol, what is it. Like not knowing means its thimerisol. Ugh, we really need to stress scientific thinking in our schools, as whatg Rodishi displays is just pathetic
