Language stopping completly. THe parents are the ones who started to think that there was a connection to a certain type of autism/vaccines. Scientists are and continue to study the autism link. MY son has autism, and it was in the 90's when this so called connection started. No offense woogieman, I have also been watching that very carefully too.

No offense taken. I ran across this info while researching dog vaccines. What I found was that thymersol was used in both dog and human vaccines until 1992 when aluminum was substituted in dog vaccines. There was a bill to remove thymersol from human vaccines but it was vetoed. I also read where a family had won an award (based on the preservative theory) from a fund set up by the vaccine manufacturers, though they admitted no liability. The suspicion alone of preservatives in vaccines causing harm is enough for me to insist on single dose vaccines (which are available) only being used for my dogs. I can only imagine the challenges faced by your son and your entire family. Bless you all.
