Vaccines used to contain the preservative thimerosal, the active ingredient is ethylmercury (NOT methylmercury), an organic version of mercury that is quickly expelled from the body. Ethylmercury is not the same thing as mercury or methylmercury, and cannot cause heavy metal poisoning as mercury can. Even if you could somehow get mercury poisoning from a vaccine containing ethylmercury, ethylmercury was removed from all vaccines in 1997 as a precaution, and to encourage anti-vaccination advocates that the ingredient they were so worried about is no longer contained in any vaccines. If there was a true causal link between ethylmercury in vaccines and autism, you would think its removal would dramatically decrease the rate of autism diagnosis over the years, and yet, the incidence of autism continues to rise. Regardless, 13 years later, people are still carrying on about mercury in vaccines!

Squaline is a naturally ocurring substance that is produced by our own livers and is circulating through your bloodstream right now. Using data from 64 medical trials, a meta-analysis by Pellegrini, Nicolay, Lindert, Groth, and Della Cioppa (2009) revealed that the use of squaline in vaccines not only is totally safe, but also is associated with lower rates of chronic desease.

As for formaldehyde? It too is a naturally-ocurring substance in all living things. In fact, the concentration of naturally-ocurring formaldehyde in our bodies (2 ppm) is higher than the concentrationlevels of formaldehyde in any vaccine. Our bodies have evolved a mechanism to keep our levels of formaldehyde in check so that they do not reach a level that is toxic to cells. So if anything, an injection is slightly diluting the level of formaldehyde in our bodies.

And what of the man who started it all? Dr Andrew Wakefield, the researcher at the center of the original Lancet paper in 1998 that outlined the "link" between the childhood MMR vaccine and autism, has been found to be "dishonest", "irresponsible", and guilty of putting children through lengthy and unnecessary tests and "serious professional misconduct" by the UK General Medical Council. As a result, his medical license has been revoked, and The Lancet has issues a full retraction of the paper stating "It has become clear that several elements of the 1998 paper by Wakefield et al. are incorrect. … Therefore we fully retract this paper from the published record."

What we know about autism is that in 90% of cases, there is a genetic contribution. It is primarily a genetic, rather than an environmental disorder. Other than the presence of thalidomide during the first 8 weeks of gestation, no rigorous sciuentific research has ever supported that any specific environmental factors including vaccines, food allergies, and mercury poisoning contribute in any way to autism.
