| Having an autistic child must be really upsetting. Hell, who am I kidding, having any kids sounds like a grade "A" drag, but autism makes you desperate and makes you start to blame people. This is kind of old news apparently, but I just read this awesome New York Times article on a group parents who are fighting the CDC, the FDA, the WHO and any US state departments of health over "thimerosal", a preservative in vaccines for decades. This parent activist group says it causes autism, because thimerosal is 50% mercury, so, you know, lawsuits.
http://www.wilmingtonstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050626/ZNYT04/506260330/1010/State "My grandson received nine shots in one day, seven of which contained thimerosal, which is 50 percent mercury as you know, and he became autistic a short time later," That's 50% of some amount which is a fucking LOT, maybe. ...and why is a kid getting nine shots anyway? Is that normal these days, or was this infant traveling overseas and needed some Hep A shots? Hey Jhoh, do you remember getting a little more autistic after a battery of shots early in life? I think what I like most about the article is the snarky tone and thinly-veiled zingers the author fires off. Like describing the faux-wood paneling of the basement which is Dr. Geier's "world-class lab" or being sure to use this quote from Dr. Geier: Dr. Geier has called the use of thimerosal in vaccines the world's "greatest catastrophe that's ever happened, regardless of cause." |

Autisim: Caused by mercury in vaccines? Science says no, parents say YES! by 07/13/2005, 5:35am PDT  Is that pronounced "Dr. Gayer"? by 07/13/2005, 3:08pm PDT Yeah what a weird name.
