"While some things may be okay ... in small quantities (like red wine for instance), mercury is one of the things that isn't. It just isn't, in any amount."
This is nonsense. Mercury is ubiquitous. It's in every breath one takes, and everything that is swallowed. If trace, barely measurable amounts of mercury were dangerous, then our species would not have survived this long. Clearly, there is an amount of hg that is not harmful.
The amount of thimerosal in the US pediatric schedule hasn't been this low since the 1950s. So why haven't autism rates plummeted accordingly? If you are arguing against dose-reponse, then clearly there should be no difference in autism rates between today and 60 years ago.
