Special federal court rules that thimerosal did not cause autism (harmful, trigger)

[Balvenie]

No big surprise here but interesting anyway.

Yeh...well they also said cigarettes don't cause cancer and hydrogenated oils were good for you. Not that people should be skipping vaccines...But until they cure autism and figure out exactly why it happens I won't believe its not possibly harmful.

Nope, not surprising.

There was never any plausible scientific evidence to show that thimerosal could lead to autism.

Yes, I have a lot of trust in what federal court has to say on this matter.

According to professor Garth Nicolson, no one vaccine (that varies in ingredients) is responsible, but it's the triad, or the combination of many different vaccines people are injected with that can trigger unhealthy reactions.

Those of you pooh-poohing this ruling, please actually read the article. It is referring to thimerosal which I clearly referenced in my subject line.

And that is exactly what I was responding in reference to.

OK.. Then (the question remains....) why do so many children suddenly become autistic, right after they get their shots?

I also think that in order to have a fair finding.. they need to round up all the diagnosed & get a complete medical history from the parents/doctors.

For the same reason that many children do not become autistic right after they get their shots, and why some unvaccinated children still got autism.
