Thimerosal is in all flu vaccines. That is your yearly mercury shots.[/quote]

Fluzone (Sanofi Pasteur) has a zero-thimerosal version, and FluMist (MedImmune Vaccines, Inc) contains no thimerosal.

Well autism like disorders can come from swelling of the brain especially in children. Adjuncts do just that![/quote]

I'm not sure that "adjunct" means what you think it means.

There are three types of Autism . Autistic Disorder, Asperger Syndrome and Pervasive development disorder. While a clear cause of Autism hasn't been conclusively discovered there are many possible causes for the increase.

I know several people whose children have been diagnosed with Asperger. They all feel that the reason for the increase is better screenings and that alot of kids who normally may have been diagnosed as a slow learner are now properly diagnosed as having Asperger. Their children suffer some disadvantages such as compulsion issues but for the greater part they are very intelligent and highly functional.
