POST 00812E :THIMEROSAL AND AUTISM Follow-up on Post 00809E 17 July 2005 _____________________________________ Michel Zaffran (mailto:[email protected]) from WHO gives more sources of information concerning autism. Now I realized that something may be wrong. The previous posting was copied from source and it refers to thimerosal. WHO sites talk of thiomersal. Who is right? Maybe someone will tell us. __________________________________________ There is a lot of information on the Site of the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) with regards to Thiomersal and rumours of adverse effects- the topic has been extensively studied and all reports of finding have been thoroughly investigated.
