Vaccines will be available both with and without thimerosal." I sure do not have the answer but many people believe there is a link between that preservative and autism. No proof has been found of such a link but the rate of autism is definitely increased since the 1930s when thimerosal was developed. The rate was once 4: 10,000 but is now estimated to be 15-20: 10,000. It could also be partially attributed to newer diagnosis techniques.
