The epidemiological studies done to date have been touted as stating that vaccines and/or their adjuvants do not cause autism. Two facts: 1) none of these studies make that conclusion, they all state that no connection was found (which is not the same thing); 2) none of these studies, that I have seen, have sufficient statistical power to identify this kind of problem in a small subset of the population.

There is a growing body of empirical science that points towards a serious problem. The best single listing, that I've found, of these studies at the end of the report by Dr. Marcel Kinsbourne to the Autism Omnibus Hearings:

(scroll to the end to see the list of references)

You can't negate empirical science with epidemiology. Most of the kids who have been tested for heavy metal poisoning have been found to have high levels of Mercury and Aluminum (among other things).

Finally, some here have stated that the thimerosal has been removed from the vaccines. This is false statement. While it has been removed from the majority of the vaccines, it is still there is a number of them. And, a number of the vaccines produced with thimerosal were found to still be on Doctor's shelves as recently as 2005 and possibly later. Check your facts.

More to come.
