Child Advocate/logical/question authority

What I find amazing is how much time is spent trying to disect the numbers of autism, which researchers should have more focus on determining what effects ethylmercury has in vaccinations. There is evidence on both scales stating X and Y, however, there are NO studies done on behalf of the government pointing to a "its good for you'" result. I was infuriated after arguing at a commission study in Rhode Island trying to ban Thimerosal, that while Autism now outnumbers Epilepsy, Cerabral Palsey and Mental Retardation (which is an I.Q. of 85 or less) - Yes, it is fair to say that doctors have been putting children into the autism category whereas they used to put under mental retardation. The end result of the meeting concluded that there are no definitive studies proving mercury, which is a known neurotoxin is safe. In fact, the 3 doctors wisely pointed out that methymercury has been closely studies as opposed to ethylmercury which they said they think is safe and NOT a toxin. I thought, well if you classify it with methyl and the EPA and other governmental agencies use methyl and it's results when setting levels of mercury products. Why is it okay to say ethyl, which you seemingly know nothing about, but base it on the same safety standards of methyl - yet you want to keep spending money to undermine the numbers of autism awareness. Paul Shattuck, where is your money coming from - no conflict of interest...eh!
