Comment:

This research is related to thimerosal.

Abstract / Excerpt:

“This analysis suggests that high exposure to ethylmercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines in the first month of life increases the risk of subsequent development of neurologic development impairment, but not of neurologic degenerative or renal impairment.  Further confirmatory studies are needed.”
