Another report contradicting the popular myth of autism -
Study: Mercury in vaccines not cause of autism
Eric Fombonne, chief of pediatric psychiatry at the McGill University
Health Centre, analyzed the link between between childhood immunizations
and Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) in 28,000 Quebec children,
and was able to clear Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines
containing immunizations as risk factors for conditions such as autism
and Asperger Syndrome.
"There is no relationship between the level of exposure to MMR vaccines
and thimerosal containing vaccines and rates of autism," says Dr.
Fombonne. "According to our data, the incidence of autism was higher in
children who were vaccinated after thimerosal was eliminated from
vaccines."
