thimerosal injections beneficial, protective

[Guest guest]

Autism cases were almost 40% more common in children not exposed to

thimerosal through vaccines, than in children who were, in a study of 180

autistic children in Montreal, Quebec. In the cohort studied, autism rates

were increasing at the same time that use of MMR vaccines decreased. The

study concludes there is no relationship between use of thimerosal or MMR

vaccines and autism.

Mercury-based vaccines and MMR jabs do not lead to an increased risk of

autism, a Canadian study says. Autism rates were higher in children after

thimerosal was eliminated and MMR coverage decreased.
