78. Absence of connection does not mean proof negative. For example, here's one study you are referring
to:

http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jan/08/science/sci-autism8

"Steve M. Edelson, an experimental psychologist who is director of the Autism Research Institute, a nonprofit organization in San Diego, said the study, along with evidence from previous research, argued against thimerosal as the major culprit in autism.

But he added that thimerosal may still play some role. Edelson said such large-scale analysis could overlook smaller groups of children, who for whatever reason have a particular vulnerability to mercury."

I'm taking the position of "we don't know, means, we don't know" and that is the simplest truth.

And as always, my position is, mercury isn't good to inject in children's blood, so why are we using it in vaccines?
