I found some excellent new Simpsonwood-related pdfs, and put them up on my new Thimerosal page. There's a letter from Congress to the CDC about the dangers of vaccination and the discrepancies between the Simpsonwood data and its conclusion.
In other news, I found an article that discusses in detail how the drug companies aren't labelling their vaccines correctly. Their excuse is that they don't have the time and money to get it done. Money? Seriously? How about you divert a couple of million dollars from your advertising budget and obey the law?
The upshot of all of this is that Thimerosal, which was banned by the government in 2002, was still discovered on shelves in 2007, and the companies can't be bothered to get their labels straight -- so no one knows which vaccines still contain Thimerosal and which don't.
There is simply no way that I'm getting my child vaccinated.

I'm an 'autism and vaccines' crusader now.
The story of how I connected autism and vaccines through my research.
I went online looking for information about vaccinations, since my first child is going to be born in August (unless it's three or more weeks late. ;p ) I found a bunch of information about how vaccines cause autism in infants, and a bunch of people claiming that that information is a bunch of lies.
I wasn't sure which way to turn, so I delved as far and as hard into the topic as I could, looking at scientific papers, listening to politicians, and developing my own opinion. Now, I've become the webmaster of a page about Autism and Vaccines.
I found a document called the Simpsonwood Transcript, which is a transcript of a meeting of scientists, convened by the CDC, who are examining vaccination data. One problem is that the transcripts use very technical language, but the big problem is that the scientists say through the whole document that vaccines are dangerous, and then at the end, they reach the conclusion, oddly, that matter needs to be explored more. It's pretty obvious why: they were being paid to come to the opposite conclusion than the one they found themselves at.
I have not proven that vaccines cause autism -- the studies to make that claim simply haven' t been done (and won't be done as long as the CDC refuses to fund them). But I have conclusively come to the conclusion that I am not going to vaccinate my kid. The math just doesn't back up the decision.
