Thiomersal controversy. As one would expect, it's very difficult to find an unbiased report; there are such extremities in this debate--some asserting that thiomersal caused autism and neurological damage, while others are say that autism and development disorders are not linked to vaccines--so we're just going to have to rely on good ol' CNN for now.

New study disputes vaccine, autism link.
Vaccine case draws new attention to autism debate.

So, there you have it. As unbiased as it gets, straight outta the box.


I don't really expect the thiomersal debate to get much discussion, so, next person, feel free to bring up the latest news concerning animal products, or something equally fascinating.
