Re: drug companies & autism

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

I read the entire thing. As I said, it's a crime to give kids mercury
(thimerosal). The evidence that thimerosal has a negative effect has
always been very weak, however. Partly it's because the amount of the
preservative mixed with the vaccinations is very small. Kennedy
doesn't say anything about this (unless I skimmed over it). But he may
be right that the research has been skewed by the drug companies and
their allies.

I do think that it's a mistake to focus too much on one cause. There's
a lot of environmental pollution going on that can mess up fetuses.

> Michael Perelman:
Jim, Kennedy says that the studies have been rigged.  Do you think
that his assertion
is false?
