Wired om ytterligare en studie som visar att det inte finns något orsakssamband mellan kvicksilver-vaccinet thimerosal och autism:

The autism-thimerosal link appears, for public health purposes, to be dead. But rather than mocking the understandable anger of confused parents trying to grapple with early and imperfect science, critics ought to be grateful that vaccine carelessness didn't wreak havoc on the mental development of a generation.

Det finns inga tecken på att antalet rapporterade autism-fall har gått ned sedan thimerosal togs från marknaden i USA 1999.
