The thimersol vaccines were never destroyed and were and are being used.
Please explain to me why after these vaccinations were used that certain children went autistic. Timing? Just wasn’t noticed beforehand? Must be paranoia. Thanks for your insight.

Please explain to me which vaccines thimerosol is still being used in. Please explain to me why a CDC study involving over 1,000 children (as opposed to 12 in the Wakefield study) found that no matter when a child had been exposed to thimerosal--before birth when the mother had a shot, or when the child itself was vaccinated as a baby or toddler--there was no increase in the risk of any type of autism spectrum disorder. Please explain to me why autism rates continued to rise even after thimerosol was eliminated from routine childhood vaccines. Timing? Just wasn't noticed beforehand?

In the article I sent, it notes that all children's vaccines with thimerosal had expired by January of 2003, so they are not still being used, and haven't been for 8 years.

If thimerosal hasn't been used in vaccines for 10 years, and you think thimerosal causes autism, shouldn't autism rates have dropped dramatically in the last 8-10 years?

I'm sure having an autistic child is very painful, and you are looking for an answer why, but it wasn't vaccines. By vilifying vaccines you are causing other parents and children to suffer because they aren't getting vaccinated, and they are getting sick.

Yes, timing. These vaccinations are typically given right about the same time that autism presents itself strongly enough for people to actually notice. Especially parents -- when our twins were diagnosed with autism, we were the last ones to suspect or believe it. Both my parents and my wife's had suspected it for months beforehand, but we wouldn't "see" it until after their second birthday.

BTW, Mrs. kevkrom is an epidemiologist and her professional opinion (based on her own independent analysis long before the studies were disowned/debunked) is that Wakefield was a fraud and that his recommendations didn't even match his supposed "findings".
