The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A: Current
Issues, an authoritative journal featuring original toxicological
research, has published, "A Case Series of Children with Apparent
Mercury Toxic Encephalopathies Manifesting with Clinical Symptoms of
Regressive Autistic Disorders," by Geier and Geier (2007).
This new study leaves little doubt there is a direct causal link
between mercury exposure from Thimerosal-preserved biological products
(vaccines and Rho(D) products) and mercury poisoning diagnosed as an
autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight) is a highly toxic mercury
compound used as a preservative in some OTC and prescription drugs,
including most flu shots given to pregnant women, infants, children,
adults, and the elderly.
On April 19, 2007, Dr. Larry L. Needham, Chief, Organic Analytical
Toxicology Branch, CDC, announced to the US National Academy of
Sciences' Institute of Medicine that Thimerosal was among the
"Chemicals Linked to ASD."
Thus, Geier and Geier (2007) provide the first clinical case-series of
ASD patients that confirmed this causal role for Thimerosal-preserved
drugs in patients having a regressive ASD diagnosis.
