Thank you for your excellent editorial in the Sept. 30, 2015 edition. In “Support of Childhood Vaccines,” your opinion is true but sadly misleading. Vaccines do not cause autism.

Unfortunately, the mercury preservative, thiMERasol is very likely to add to the neurotixic burden of children and others receiving multidose vaccines including the flu shot!

I checked with CVS and Costco to learn that both NOW use only single dose flu shots without the brain toxic mercury that is definitely linked to autism, Alzheimer’s and other autoimmune disorders. Having had mercury poisoning in the past, I am very aware of the for-profit denials about the harm being done to people. In fact, I discovered it would only cost $2 more per shot to get my grandchildren’s vaccines without thimerasol! What is a child’s future worth?
