First there’s The Memo exposed by the L.A. Times regarding the danger of mercury.

Then there’s this about-face by the Times. Research Can’t Link Autism to Mercury:

The prevalence of autism in California children continued to rise after most vaccine manufacturers started to remove the mercury-based preservative thimerosal in 1999, suggesting that the chemical was not a primary cause of the disorder, according to a study released Monday.

The analysis found that from 2004 to 2007, when exposure to thimerosal dropped significantly for 3 to 5 year olds, the autism rate continued to increase in that group from 3.0 to 4.1 per 1,000 children.

“If mercury exposure in vaccines was a major cause of autism, then the number of … affected kids should have diminished once they were no longer exposed to thimerosal,” said Dr. Robert Schechter, lead author of the study and a medical officer at the state Department of Public Health. “That is not what we found.”

So many conflicting opinions and reports, it would really be nice if we could get to the bottom of this - all three of my kids were vaccinated, but had such severe reactions that their pediatrician only gave them 1/2 doses at a time.

Here’s a YouTube of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the Scarborough show discussing this.

Either way you look at it, mercury is a dangerous and deadly neuro-toxin. Hard to believe they couldn’t come up with a better preservative.
