Dr. Geier, a researcher without financial ties to pharmaceutical companies, was granted access to a large HMO database, his thimerosal findings were startling:

'We went to Atlanta,' he said, 'to the CDC, and looked at the VSD [Vaccine Safety Data] data. There is thimerosal-containing DTaP [diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine] and thimerosal-free DTaP, so we asked a question:

Among children that got a minimum of either three consecutive thimerosal-containing DTaPs or three consecutive thimerosal-free DTaPs, was there a difference in the number of autism cases in the two groups? We found mega differences.

More than 20 times higher. The rate of autism in the children that got more than three doses of thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccines was much, much higher.

Almost all the children that have autism in that group were the ones that got the thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccine. The more thimerosal the greater the cases of autism.'

Dr. Geier's data have been published, and he presents a summary of his findings at the U.S. Institute of Medicine hearing 'Vaccines and autism' (02-9-04).
