Vaccines are not associated with autism: an evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies
Healthy User Bias The OR (0.84) was almost significantly below 1 (p=0.07), which suggests that HUB is present in the MMR-autism studies. Notice that ORs for Hg/thimerosal studies are 1.00. Hg/thimerosal exposure occurs from the earliest vaccines (before neurodevelopmental problems are apparent), and this implies that HUB will be smaller in studies of Hg/thimerosal. From Taylor et al,…

Prenatal and Infant Exposure to Thimerosal From Vaccines and Immunoglobulins and Risk of Autism
While the Price study is a well-conducted careful investigation, this case-control design would not detect any true differences between the groups based on what most prominent researchers suspect to be true about ASD

Neuropsychological performance 10 years after immunization in infancy with thimerosal-containing vaccines
the authors identify only 1 case of autism among 1,704 subjects who were involved in the study. That makes for some real simple math, 1:1704. The rate of autism in the U.S. is 1:150. What are the Italians doing right? Why are their autism rates more than 10 times lower?

Continuing increases in autism reported to California’s developmental services system: mercury in retrograde
The entire study is based on the false premise that children’s vaccines no longer contain mercury.

Early thimerosal exposure and neuropsychological outcomes at 7 to 10 years
This is not a paper on autism. The authors are clear that, “We did not assess autism-spectrum disorders.”

Thimerosal Exposure in Infants and Developmental Disorders: A Prospective Cohort Study in the United Kingdom Does Not Support a Causal Association
paper is based on false premises, and its results are therefore anomalous. The premises are (a) that they are studying the results of “low doses” of mercury, and (b) that the medium of thimerosal is less pernicious than other familiarly encountered forms of mercury

Thimerosal Exposure in Infants and Developmental Disorders: A Retrospective Cohort Study in the United Kingdom Does Not Support a Causal Association
The current study was extremely underpowered in its ability to discern the effects of thimerosal on neurodevelopmental disorders because it only examined a maximum exposure of 75 micrograms of mercury in the first year of life

Safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines: a two-phased study of computerized health maintenance organization databases
A study so fraudulent it inspired a 400 page New York Times bestseller for which CDC had no answer.
-
Association between thimerosal-containing vaccine and autism
The conclusions appear to be based on lost data. SafeMinds re-ran their numbers, and found that autism rates and thimerosal levels correlated.

Thimerosal and the Occurrence of Autism: Negative Ecological Evidence From Danish Population-Based Data
The research paper that generated 22 counts a fraud and money laundering charges against the leader of the research project who embezzled more than $1,000,000 from CDC and his university. He was finally arrested 15 years after the crime in September of 2025. They still have not retracted this paper.
