Thimerosal,
a common preservative used in many vaccines that contains a toxic
metal called mercury, is believed to cause autism as a form of mercury
toxicity in some children.
Thimerosal
is used strictly for convenience of packaging. The use of thimerosal
enables manufacturers to save time and money. Thimerosal is 49.6%
mercury. If an infant is injected with a vaccine containing thimerosal,
the child is exposed to 62.5 micrograms of mercury, or 100 times
the EPA's definition of a safe daily exposure level. There are still
30 vaccine products on the market with thimerosal in them.
If the use
of Thimerosal in vaccines may have caused your child’s autism,
you need to know the truth and find out who’s responsible.
