The flu vaccine is the first one to come to mind. Glad to see a mainstream TV show about this topic. I did giggle when I saw the disclaimer at the end of the show. I should have guessed that one was coming. To David~Mercury is still in vaccines. The flu vaccine is the first one to come to mind.

There have been several NIH and CDC funded studies that show that although children happen to get vaccinated around the same time as autism is typically diagnosed (around age 2), the vaccines are not a cause. In any case, thimerisal (mercury) is no longer in vaccines so if you are concerned about injecting mercury into your children (whilch I can completely understand), you can now feel more comfortable giving vaccinations. Side effects of vaccinations do occur in a very small percentage of people, but autism is not one of them. Personally, I feel that if you have no reason to assume your child will have a reaction, it's better to get them vaccinated than for them to contract measles, mumps, polio, etc. Good luck.
