(15,720 posts)is a possible contributor to autism and other childhood neurological disorders, Thimerosal being a mercury-based adjutant (preservative) added to multi-dose vaccines since the 1930s? That point always seems to get forgotten but it's very important. So to repeat:
RFk Jr. has no objections to childhood vaccinations or to the vaccines themselves; his concerns are about the mercury-based adjutants used to this day to preserve multi-dose vaccines.
From opening of "Tobacco Science and the Thimerosal Scandal," by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., published June 22, 2005, comprising 66 pages of text and 139 very detailed footnotes:
Mounting evidence suggests that thimerosal, a preservative in many children's vaccines that breaks down to release neurotoxic ethyl mercury, may be responsible for the exponential growth of autism, attention deficit disorder (ADD), hyperactivity (ADHD), speech and language delays, and other childhood neurological disorders now epidemic in the United States.

This article also appeared in a shorter version called "Deadly Immunity," minus documentation, in Salon and Rolling Stone in June 2005, but is no longer available in either. Salon "retracted" it and Rolling Stone put it behind a paywall. However, it's still available at CommonDreams.Org and at RFK Jr's website:
