The Hepatitis B vaccine was much later in the schedule until 1991, when it was moved to the day of birth. So throw out every study except (Greenburg, 1993,) because they weren't testing babies getting injected on the day they're born. The Greenburg study doesn't seem to be available online, but I'd be interested to see how long they followed the babies' progress, since autistic symptoms are not usually diagnosed until two years later. Just looking for symptoms for 3-4 weeks after the shot won't reveal long-term immunological damage.

Maybe I don't understand what you're asking for here... It's the same study I was talking about earlier in the post. They compared unvaccinated monkeys, monkeys giving just a plain Hepatitis B vaccine, and monkeys given a Hepatitis B vaccine containing thimerosal. The plain-vaccine monkeys showed delays, the thimerosal-vaccine monkeys showed greater delays.

*sigh* then I suppose you won't bring up any more single-substance studies.

Once again, numerous studies do not show that the current adminstration methods of the Hepatitis B vaccine are safe. And numerous studies show quite the opposite of thimerosal; that it can be very unsafe, especially in younger babies and fetuses. Each individual part has its own risks, and there is a cumulative risk when you start stacking them one on top of the other. If you eat one bag of Doritos, your risk of stomach upset and atherosclerosis is there, but relatively low. If you eat a bag of Doritos every day, your risk of stomach upset and atherosclerosis is much higher. If you feed a baby a bag of Doritos every day, the effects will be much more stark than they are in an adult. I'm not sure why you seem to have a hard time understanding this.
