I definitely understand that with all things being equal, I would prefer thimerisol free vaccines, but the risk, if any is debatable. I guess I feel that if thimerisol was the cause of autism, we would have MANY more autistic children since it has been in our vaccines for decades.

We stopped putting thimerosal in childhood vaccines years ago, and autism rates kept going up. There was already a very good study on this done in California. It just isn't the cause of autism.
