Are Mercury based preservatives in Childhood Vaccines the cause of Autism?
Question:
Answers:
These are very good questions. I worked with autistic preshoolers for 14 yrs. Many of the parents blamed the childhood vaccines on this but if they didn't have the vaccines they couldn't get them into school.
Back in the 1980's in Jacksonville, NC around a base housing area near Camp Lejeune, they had a LARGE amount of children born ended up with the labeling of autism.
And around Brick NJ in the early 90's the same thing happened.
Govt. people did "water testing and soil testing" in both places but found nothing..yeah right.
I think part of the ADD is due to fast foods and preservatives and soda.(poor diet..easy diet.cheap diet). Seems like the food that is good for us is also expensive and time consuming to prepare so we all opt for the easy meal. Milk is $3.60 a gallon soda at .88 for a 2 liter. Who ever thought we would be buying bottled water? Which also cost more than soda.
I also think there are a lot of children that are misdiagnosed with autism. A lot of doctors don't say a child is autistic until a child is around 2 1/2 or three.

Actually, I beleive the lastest research says that it is not. Of course, that could change, but that's the current thinking.
As for ADD, I agree that there is amjor problem with that, but I still think it might be other factors such as ignorant teachers, TV, video games, etc. But I make sure my kids eat right just in case it's also from incredibly dangerous food and drug practices in the US. No. Your premise is completely wrong. Mercury based preservatives (thimerosal) have been removed from most vaccines since 2003 or before. Yet the rate of autism has not decreased, in fact it has continued to rise. A recent publication confirmed (again) that there is no link between vaccination and autism. But the internet scare-mongers refuse to listen.
