No one wants to take a stab at trying to explain why trace amounts of mercury in seafood is considered bad, but trace amounts of mercury in vaccines is considered ok?
There is a vast difference in the potential for damage during embryogenesis versus a neonate. Retinoic acid is basically vitamin a. Fine outside of the womb. Abosolutely teratogenic inside the womb.
It would be nice if the autism link was as simple as thermosol. It would be an easy fix. Unfortuntely, it is not that easy.
I don't think it begins and ends with thimerosol at all. We waited to vaccinate our son and he ended up in the autism spectrum anyway. I have other theories on how it may have happened but that's a different discussion. I'm still wary of mercury going into my child's system, born or not. It's poison.
No more or less so than I am about sodium fluoride going into my child's system. That's poison as well.
I'd prefer not taking chances, if that makes me a kook I can live with that.
