I am aware of this issue too. I note that thimerosal has been out of childhood vaccines since 2001. I understand that the AAP doesn't think there is a link between thimerosal and autism and that an Institute of Medicine, IOM, report indicated that the committee didn't believe thimerosal caused autism. Of course, this does not mean there isn't an association. We should recognize that few diseases have direct causes attributed to them.
