Explanation:
Over the last decade, autism has gone from a rare and misunderstood condition to a disorder that may affect as many as 1.5 million Americans. Without a clear explanation in sight, parents and doctors have worked tirelessly to pinpoint the cause of autism, but the answer remains elusive. Are vaccines the missing link?

No Link Between Mercury and Autism
Looking for something where it is not!
Measuring blood and hair for mercury is representative of the same thing. The type of mercury most people are concerned with is ethylmercury from vaccines. This type of mercury rapidly clears the blood and is distributed immediatley to the brain. It would not show up in the blood unless it was tested within days of exposure. Doesn't Dr. Fombonne knows this? Maybe this is why psychiatrists should leave toxicological studies to toxicologists and/or chemists. Doesn't McGill University employ either? Also, shouldn't it be disclosed that Dr. Fombonne appears regularly as an expert witness for the vaccine industry?
