the autism fear stems from one quack asshole intentionally skewing data for profit, then granola hippy moms holding him up as some bastion of truth, Which then evolved into right wing idiocy of medicine bad (until they are sick and think it could help them (which by then its probably too late) )
And yet he tried really hard to make people believe it was just the one vaccine causing autism, so he could sell his other, worse, replacement vaccine.
Don’t be dragging granola into this fuckwit-ocracy. It’s a perfectly reasonable low effort breakfast for those of us that are unable to cook for ourselves because we can’t find our arses with both hands for the first hour of semi-consciousness in the morning.
While I agree in general with your post, there must be a valid reason why thiomersal is no longer allowed in vaccines inside North America and Europe. It’s not only because of a quack doctor.
Thimerosal does not stay in the body a long time so it does not build up and reach harmful levels. When thimerosal enters the body, it breaks down to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate, which are readily eliminated.
and
Influenza (flu) vaccines are currently available in both thimerosal-containing (for multi-dose vaccine vials) and thimerosal-free versions.
the point
how much is needed to cause autism?
The point is to not be half-ass your way to middle ground fallacies. When you promote this muddying of water, you’re doing their work.
Mercury has been identified as a risk factor. There is no Xmg=autism answer.
This risk was recognised because Thimerosal is no longer used in USA and EU.
I’m not muddying anything. I’m showing where the original fear stems from. I can state clearly that there is no need to have autism fears with modern vaccines.
That was one of the original proposed mechanisms to explain how the (obviously false) autism was caused.
But since then, since thiomersal was removed, other ‘causes’ and moral issues have been invented, including cells from abortions.
The one that makes me laugh the most is that it’s terrible that the poor poor baby is exposed to so many illnesses (measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus, notovirus, rotovirus and more) in such a short space of time, it’s no wonder the poor dear’s immune system is compromised. And then the same mother drops the kid off at daycare and exposes the poor dear to all those viruses and more - and live viruses at that.
There is no bleeding logic, just feels. And they get so angry at the fake harm that medicine is causing, and simultaneously actually causing real harms to real people.
The autism fear stems from the historical use of Thiomersal as a preservative.

Hey hey hey!

The autism fear stems from a grifter doctor.
Not only. Of these studies, the vast majority (74%) suggest that mercury is a risk factor for ASD.
And is the dose of mercury in the old vaccines enough to do cause such effects?
Probably not, but exposure is cumulative.
Modern vaccines with mercury used in the 3rd world are not considered to be a high dose.
50 micrograms/litre of blood is considered dangerous.
But the point being examined here is perception. Not actual danger.

The original fears are much more complex than that. Fear isn’t a pharmaceutical thing that you can read a paper about.
On the broader topic of fear and medicine, yes.
But specifically the fear of autism being caused by vaccines is (probably unjustly) centred on Thimerosal.
That was one of the original proposed mechanisms to explain how the (obviously false) autism was caused.
