NEJM Clears (Mostly) Thimerosol
In what is a relatively uncommon event in the last few years, the New England Journal of Medicine has good news this week for pharma, or at least vaccine manufacturers. A new study published there largely clears the the mercury in thimerosol in vaccines from causing autism:
Our study does not support a causal association between early exposure to mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and immune globulins and deficits in neuropsychological functioning at the age of 7 to 10 years.
