11. It was discontinued, but not because of any research.

No one has proven any causal link between thimerosal and autism, but vaccine manufacturers pulled it anyway because too many people (out of ignorance and the scare tactics of others) were avoiding vaccinations altogether, and that will - GUARANTEED - lead to a much worse public health problem than anything thimerosal could do.

Thimerosal is no longer used in the MMR vaccine or most other common childhood vaccines, but still used in many others. Safely.
