Debate grows on vaccine-autism link
Stakes are high as panel reviews risk from mercury
By Scott Allen, Boston Globe Staff, 2/8/2004

This article is all about thimerosal. I thought "they" say that MMR
causes autism. MMR has never had thimerosal. Can't the armchair
theorists make up their minds?

There are separate theories. One attributes the increase in autism to
the MMR vaccine (I believe the focus has been on the measles component);
the other blames thimerosal. Somewhere, somehow, by someone(s) the two
theories got tangled.
