Your post was off topic, but I have to reply.
You must have an office on K Street, and get frequent visits from the pharmaceutical companies. The evidence I've seen showed that thimerosal was indeed added to MMR and other childhood vaccines in the 90's and into the 2000's, and IS STILL IN SOME FLU VACCINES. It took public outcry and state government intervention to get thimerosal removed from childhood vaccines. While research has shown that the MMR and other vaccines themselves do not cause autism, science HAS proven that mercury does cripple neuron development. The effects of mercury in a developing brain are not unlike those exhibited by many people diagnosed with autism (everything's developing normally for a few years, then suddenly starts regressing). The mercury may be the trigger for someone who's at risk of autism.
The previous link seems to come from an organization with an agenda, and leaves opportunity for suspicion. This one, however http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDnfeIwd0wI, is from University of Calgary. While their research was based on "safe levels" of mercury-based amalgams used in dentistry, the effects of mercury on the brain cannot be disputed. I doubt they have much bias other than to progress research.
