and he is taking that at face value, then neither they nor he have any clue what they are talking about. Thimerisol used to be used as a preservative in many products, including eye drops and saline for contacts. Having worn contacts for over 35 years, I was exposed to far more thimerisol from saline solution than any vaccine could have given me. Anyone ever given an IV that used thimerisol as a preservative got thousands of times more than from a vaccine.

The use of thimerisol does not correspond with the increases in diagnosis of ASD, if it did the increases would have started generations ago. There has been no science involved with the anti-vaccine crap that is legitimate.
