Thimerosal

Thimerosal has been used since the 1930s in vaccines for its ability to kill bacteria and for its ability to prevent bacterial contamination in certain containers. Some of the vaccines that contain Thimerosal are often recommended for use on infants and young children, including vaccines for Hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis, acellular pertussis, and tetanus. The controversy over Thimerosal focuses on the drug's mercury content, which poses serious risks to immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral systems in infants. In fact, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found enough data to link mercury-containing vaccines and developmental disorders. Among these disorders are autism, attention deficit disorder, and speech and language deficiencies.

One of the biggest concerns for parents and health officials is the link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. Autism is marked by problems with the sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral functions. Recently, the increase in the worldwide rate of autism has brought special attention to the danger of Thimerosal. The rise in autism occurred at the same time the availability of vaccines increased and a lowering of the age at which many vaccines are administered to infants and young children was approved.
