It's good to see that someone that is somewhat mainstream addressing this topic and calling bullshit, skip to 2:50

I hate this guy's stle. The choppy filming. I like the fact that he's looking at the issue objectively though.

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

Yeah, he needs a better editing program, pref. one that doesn't fuck with the audio track so much. That said, I appreciate the fact that--as he pointed out--just because there was a spike in cases of autism around the same time as early vaccination doesn't mean the two are related. That's a classic post hoc fallacy. There IS some evidence that vaccines made with thimerisol (a mercury derivative) as a preservative may be culprits. The FDA claims that no vaccines made after 2001 use thimerisol. I hope that's true, because mercury is a highly potent neurotoxin.
BTW, I recently found my "baby book" and it documents that I received several vaccinations (incl. one for diptheria) when I was 18 months old. It would be interesting to find out if thimerisol was being used as a vaccine preservative ATT.
