There has been a recent case where the science linking between mercury and autism has been thoroughly rejected. The author of the article seems to be on a mission to discredit any and all evidence of a mercury-autism linkage.

I frequent the blog you linked to and I have not witnessed myself any mission to discredit the link between autism and mercury. What I have noticed is the blogger showing how "sound" and "rational" science show there is no linkage between the two. And how recent studies show the same.

Mr. Fox, I encourage you to read Judge Beaty's memorandum. It's available at

for public review.

Those who don’t acknowledge some sort of vaccine-autism connection, in my opinion, is turning a blind eye. There is circumstantial, anecdotal and scientific evidence linking vaccinations to autism and other developmental disorders. There is also a lot of evidence suggesting that themerisol may not be the harming agent. Many vaccines contain ingredients such as formaldehyde, aluminum phosphate, phenols, aluminum salts and methanol---all toxic substances….something to think about.
