Causation trap that the Cornell study falls into. The mercury in vaccines has been studied and restudied by actual scientists (as opposed to the Thymerasol paranoid crowd) at NIH and CDC and found to have no effect. The TV problem is just silly; the factor the both of these statistics (the use of Thymerasol & increased TV watching) are tracking is the age of the FATHERS. The closer to present date you get, the more tv your kid watches, the more thymerasol is in use, and the higher the chance that the father is old. And an old dad tends to fire little mutations, a link which has been proven and is more believable than either of the paranoid crowds with it in for a technology. The father's age link was reported right here on MSNBC.COM!http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/26/8856.aspx#8865Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:50:45 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:8865anondid you intend for both Obama links to be the same?http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/26/8856.aspx#8866Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:54:09 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:8866SorchiaIs it a political statement that anyone who wants to know "Why Obama should run for president" is directed to "Why Obama is overrated?"http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/26/8856.aspx#8873Thu, 26 Oct 2006 17:05:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:8873Will FemiaSorry, adding those bullets messed up the hyperlink.
