Re: drug companies & autism

Thanks for this. 

I try to know a lot about the connection between medications
(vaccinations) and autism, since my son has Asperger's Syndrome (mild
autism). My conclusions so far are that:

1. No empirical connection between vaccinations and autism has been
substantiated. (There have been a lot of studies of this.) So it's
best to give your kid the vaccinations.

2. However, it is a crime to put mercury-based chemicals in any
vaccinations for kids.

3. The "epidemic" of autism seems to arise from a combination of (a)
increased rate of diagnosis; and (b) a variety of different
environmental pollutants, including those taken voluntarily by the
mother.
