Just such a study, funded by the CDC and recently published in Italy, claims to show that the known neurotoxic mercury additive in vaccines, Thimerosal, is not harmful to children. The study has received wide-spread publicity.

 

What the public was not told is that the study was designed so that it certain to be unable to detect any effect.  A CDC internal email exchange shows that to be able to detect any effect in children with the methods used, the dose applied by the age of 3 months had to be more than 50 millionths of a gram of mercury. By the age of 6 months, it needed to be more than 100 millionths of a gram.

However, the Italian children in the study received only two thirds of the minimum amount by the age of 3 months, and were similarly beneath the minimum at 4 months and 6 months.

But do not be deceived into thinking there are no problems with the lower levels of mercury -- the study was simply unable to measure the effects at lower levels.  It was an issue of precision rather than absence of effect.

There were many other deficiencies in the Italian study.  Notably, the study only included healthy children in the original vaccine trial, so those most at risk were excluded.
