Oh goody. The media again. Loves a false yet crazy tempting conspiracy theory!
"then where are all the twenty-year-old autistics?"
Still undiagnosed you maroon. They are no longer going to school and won't benefit from a diagnosis. They would be the unlabelled kids from the special ed classes, or the ones who failed a few grades here and there. They will be the ones doing unskilled labor that are the friendly and nice people who greet with a smile everyday. Try telling me you don't know anyone like this. I know several. They are just "slow" and gullible sweet folks that are loveable.
Infants who received all their vaccines, plus boosters, by the age of six months were being injected with levels of ethylmercury 187 times greater than the EPA's limit for daily exposure to methylmercury, a related neurotoxin.
There's that overblown mistatement again. Yes, 6 months of vaccination all lumped together in one dose would be higher than a daily recommended dose of it. Duh.
Just from that I can see how other things are misconstrued or overblown, the actual facts ignored. I will be looking a few thing up in the Rolling Stone article that I've not heard before.
several studies -- including one published in April by the National Institutes of Health
I cannot find that study. Or can I?

I'm finding lies again in the rolling stone article. In the rolling stone article they say:
published in April by the National Institutes of Health -- suggest that ethylmercury is actually more toxic to developing brains and stays in the brain longer than methylmercury
But in the study they say:
A much lower brain concentration of total Hg was observed in the thimerosal infants compared to the MeHg infants, i.e., a 3- to 4-fold difference for an equivalent exposure of Hg. Moreover, total Hg is cleared much more rapidly from the brain after thimerosal than after methymercury exposure (24 vs 60 days).
I wonder if Rolling Stone or that joke of an author is willing to print the truth in a retractment?
There is a lower overall Hg brain concentration in the thimerosal group, but there is More inorganic % in the thimerosal group. So this was twisted by the antivaccinators.
So, it would be like saying there was a 60 concentration in the thimerosal group with 70% of that 60 of that being inorganic. Comparing that to 500 concentration in the methylmercury group with only 10% of that 500 being inorganic. The antivaccinators have grabbed onto the 70% vs 10% and are ignoring total overall concentration. Jerks.
I bet I can rebutt every lie in that article. I wonder why the author didn't check his facts? Or is he a known blatant liar?
