Thimerosal proven over and over to be safe

Thimerosal doesn’t cause brain damage, so unqualified voices against thimersal really need to find another bandwagon to hop on and stop making unscienfic and false conclusions based on false pretenses and incompetent theories. Just stop it already. Simplying believing that it causes brain damage doesn’t make it so:

In the most recent study funded by the CDC, researchers evaluated more than 1,000 kids between the ages of 7 and 10 who were exposed to various levels of thimerosal as babies.

Researchers tested the children extensively, assessing the children in 42 different areas of neurological functioning and making almost 400 different statistical comparisons. They found that for the vast majority of tests, children with high levels of thimerosal exposure performed equally well compared to children with low exposure levels, indicating that thimerosal has no effect on brain development.
