Thimerosal Autism News

" RFK Jr. says Thimerosal and autism link is clear "

June 22, 2005

For years, the connection between thimerosal in vaccines and the development of autism has been argued. Studies continue to be presented in favor of whatever side of the fence being argued, but many people are still confused over what the official stance on the subject is.

Six out of every 1,000 kids have autism, which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to attribute to Thimerosal. Kennedy has recently written an article about the possible Thimerosal and autism link in the current issue of Rolling Stone. In an interview on the ‘Scarborough Country' program, Kennedy said the autism blame falls on the government and its continued efforts to cover their tracks.

Thimerosal was first put in vaccines in the 1930s as a preservative, which Kennedy says is when autism cases began to appear. When the vaccine schedule was increased, thus requiring children to receive 24 vaccines from the previous 10 that prior generations received, the Thimerosal content also significantly increased without, according to Kennedy, first being analyzed to determine the impact a cumulative effect of the mercury would have on children.

Kennedy said the increased vaccine schedule meant children were being injected with 400 times the amount of mercury the FDA or EPA considers safe, and that when a child is born and injected on his/her first day with a Hepatitis B shot, EPA guidelines would mean the baby has to be 275 pounds to safely absorb it. As a reflection, Kennedy said by 1999, one in every 2,500 American children had autism, and today, one in every 166 children has autism.

When questioned why the topic has been so controversial despite the convincing scientific evidence Kennedy argues exists finding a clear link between Thimerosal and autism, Kennedy blames “junk science” allowing the “regulatory bureaucrats that green-lighted Thimerosal originally” to be protected. Transcripts from the secret meeting held in Simpsonwood, Georgia in 2000 have been obtained, according to Kennedy, that show undeniable evidence of the Thimerosal and autism link.
