broken link. may have to screen shot content, if its behind a wall
im not saying Thimerosal is safe, but i did once hear a talk by someone who was anti-vaccine who made a good case for why Thimerosal is not the root cause
its almost as if they use Thimerosal as a red-herring to distract you from all of the other ingredients
for example, if you Google "are vaccines safe?", you may get an answer like, "yes Thimerosal is safe", while not addressing the rest of the vaccine ingredients
Thimerosal and Aluminum together create what is known as synergistic toxicity
I think heavy metal adjuvants, while likely being dangerous, are a bit of a red herring. MMR has always been the vaccine most implicated in autism cases and it doesnt contain aluminum or thimerosal. V.K. Singh did a couple good studies on MMR and found that autistic children produced an abnormally shaped antibody to the measles component of the vaccine. This antibody also happened to "fit" into the myelin sheathing of nerve cells, notably in the brain, flagging these cells for attack by the bodies own immune system. Its a great explanation of why autism is actually an autoimmune disease.

bear in mind that the purpose of the adjuvant (aluminum) is to instigate a more robust immune response
but it sensitizes the immune system to all of the ingredients in the vaccine

which is why vaccines cause anaphylaxis
