Curious read:
The first case of autism occurred in 1943 in America, twelve years after a mercury-containing preservative, thimerosal, was added to the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine. In the 1950s, with only four recommended vaccines, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000 children. As more vaccines were recommended, the incidence of autism increased dramatically. By 1981, children received 135 micrograms of mercury in vaccines. The incidence of autism increased to 1 in 2600 children. Children in 1996 received 246 micrograms of mercury in vaccines and the incidence of autism was about 1 in every 350 children. Today, 13 vaccines are recommended with varying numbers of booster shots. The incidence of autism now averages about 1 in every 250 children.

- I'll side with the doctors for now, though. Vaccination is important.Gucci
- Seems to show a direct link though. A lot of the preservatives et al we eat started much later.ETM
