Now that I've done the hard part - broken through the conditioning all the cucks in here believe about Anti-Vaxx (except iannis) - the rest of the argument is simple and well documented.

2. Vaccines containing Thimerosal increase the risk of Autism in young children.
Officially, perhaps.
As I posted earlier, Dr. Thompson came out as a whistle blower two years ago and published the results to this study.
Again, as I posted earlier the paper was retracted a month later with the following notice:
So, yes Ukerric is technically right. Thimerosal does not increase the risk of Autism. But, that's only because the MMR study was retracted a month later by a Chinese doctor.
TL;DR The Anti-Vaxx deniers in this thread actually believe a Chinese doctor wasn't bribed by Big Pharma to cover up and discredit an American whistle blower. LOL

Abstract
Background
A significant number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder suffer a loss of previously-acquired skills, suggesting neurodegeneration or a type of progressive encephalopathy with an etiological basis occurring after birth. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectof the age at which children got their first Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine on autism incidence. This is a reanalysis of the data set, obtained from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC), used for the Destefano et al. 2004 publication on the timing of the first MMR vaccine and autism diagnoses.
Methods
The author embarked on the present study to evaluate whether a relationship exists between child age when the first MMR vaccine was administered among cases diagnosed with autism and controls born between 1986 through 1993 among school children in metropolitan Atlanta. The Pearson’s chi-squared method was used to assess relative risks of receiving an autism diagnosis within the total cohort as well as among different race and gender categories.
Results
When comparing cases and controls receiving their first MMR vaccine before and after 36 months of age, there was a statistically significant increase in autism cases specifically among African American males who received the first MMR prior to 36 months of age. Relative risks for males in general and African American males were 1.69 (p=0.0138) and 3.36 (p=0.0019), respectively. Additionally, African American males showed an odds ratio of 1.73 (p=0.0200) for autism cases in children receiving their first MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age versus 24 months of age and thereafter.
Conclusions
The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.

Again, as I posted earlier the paper was retracted a month later with the following notice:
Retraction
The Editor and Publisher regretfully retract the article [1] as there were undeclared competing interests on the part of the author which compromised the peer review process. Furthermore, post-publication peer review raised concerns about the validity of the methods and statistical analysis, therefore the Editors no longer have confidence in the soundness of the findings. We apologise to all affected parties for the inconvenience caused.
So, yes Ukerric is technically right. Thimerosal does not increase the risk of Autism. But, that's only because the MMR study was retracted a month later by a Chinese doctor.
TL;DR The Anti-Vaxx deniers in this thread actually believe a Chinese doctor wasn't bribed by Big Pharma to cover up and discredit an American whistle blower. LOL
