Thimerosal Disappears but Autism Remains
Published January 8, 2008
in Archives of General Psychiatry, Fombonne
Parents of autistic children should be reassured that autism in their child did not occur through immunizations. Their autistic children, and their siblings, should be normally vaccinated, and as there is no evidence of mercury poisoning in autism, they should avoid ineffective and dangerous “treatments” such as chelation therapy for their children.
