Special Court Rules Autism Not Caused by Vaccine

I’ve posted a few times on this case, as is near and dear to my heart, as my Hunter falls “in the spectrum”; a nice way of saying “he has autism”. Back in May 2005, I posted “Mercury and Autism”, as to then-current findings.
Well, the latest is an MSNBC article that says the vaccines are not to blame: “Court says vaccine not to blame for autism”.
Three cases were reviewed and were deemed “speculative and unpersuasive”. The court the court concluded that "the weight of scientific research and authority" was "simply more persuasive on nearly every point in contention."
As I mentioned in my posts, I’ have had the same concern about the affects of the MMR .. the timing of his behaviors and the short were just suspect. At question was the existence of a mercury-based preservative called thimerosal, since removed in children’s vaccines.
