Why don't you know? Can you not determine whose information to trust? Why not? What criteria are you using to try to verify the information you are reading , and are both sides of this particular issue really so equally compelling? Why is it even difficult? Does nobody who is interested in this topic try to track autism diagnoses?
I don't want to see videos, which is just people talking about their opinions. I want to see actual scientific information and analysis. The guy is a doctor, he knows how to write a paper with proper citations. |
Just hear him out LadyShea. It's 16 minutes long. What is 16 minutes if you learn something that you may not have known before? Are you that afraid of hearing something that might give you food for thought? Maybe it won't, but what's the harm especially when I am making an effort to read what you post (I am guilty too of not reading everything but I will, especially if it's important to you). |

That's a fair statement that opinions are only worthwhile as a jumping off point for research, but this guy has made a lot of good points. He is better at expressing himself than I am. I am asking you kindly to hear what he has to say. You are being purposely stubborn. I am asking you to meet me halfway like I'm meeting you.
Also, you skipped most of my post. Why have you been unable to form an opinion? |
I cannot form an opinon on autism as it relates thimerosal if that's what you're referring to, because I really don't know if autism is actually increasing or decreasing, or staying the same. Some of the studies show that autism is increasing but whether the studies are reliable, or if they are skewed in favor of their premise that autism is increasing, is questionable according to some researchers.
Patterns in autism as exposure to thimerosal in vaccines during early childhood has decreased. Today, all routinely recommended pediatric vaccines manufactured for the U.S. market contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts. It was gradually replaced by other non mercury compounds, and some vaccines have been formulated so they don't need preservatives. However, the preservative is still used in multiuse vials of flu vaccines.
