Thanks for the heads up Jame.
My grandson is three months old and was recently given four vaccinations.
I am going to tell my daughter about your experiences just in case.

>My son, Andrew, who just turned three, was recently diagnosed with autism. We knew there was a problem because he stopped talking after my daughter was born in April 2000. Until them he was perfectly normal. When he was diagnosed I began doing tons of research on autism. What I discovered was alarming. The number of cases of autism has quadrupled in recent years. What used to be a rare condition is now an epidemic. Scientists have been scrambling to find out why. Recently they discovered that drug companies were using low-levels of mercury, the most dangerous neuro-toxin known to man, as a preservative in vaccines. The preservative is called thimerosal. Not all the drug companies are using it, and not all the vaccines contain it. The most offensive are the Hib vaccines. Research has shown that some children are more than a thousand times more sensitive to mercury than others.

>The effects of mercury on autistic children has come to light only in the past 18 months, after it was realized that the amount of mercury preservative in many vaccines (although not the MMR vaccine) is grossly in excess of the permissible standards. The drug companies have stopped using mercury preservatives, but there are still alot of tainted stock that has not been used.

>I am posting this because of the number of parents that have had their autistic children tested for mercury and found dangerously high levels of it in their children. If you are planning to have your child immunized, make sure you tell your doctor to give your child thimerosal-free vaccines. There is NO acceptable level of mercury for any children, and if your doctor tells you differently, you should find another doctor. My child goes in for testing next week, and I know what they are going to find. When I asked my doctor for specific details about the manufacturer and lot#'s of his vaccinations, I was told that it was irrelevant and that he was not required to record it. (Yeah, right!)
