:::::Well i'm afraid Karajou that the article you provided is by no means whatsoever an authoritative source. There is consensus in the scientific community that there is no link between thimerosal and autism. To quote but another news article is simply missing the point. In large part it was the media that was to blame in stirring up this nonsense, whereas the science gave them no reason to. Take for example these two (or countless) examples which give a pretty thorough overview of the science behind the issue:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17168158
Both dismiss a casual link between the chemical and autism, and show that there is no evidence in the scientific literature to support such a link. [[User:DWiggins|DWiggins]] 12:56, 5 November 2009 (EST)
