Thimerosal is used as a preservative in lots of vaccines. It is said to be implicated in neuronal damage causing autism amongst the young and Alzheimers disease in the elder.
A typical image of thimerosal damage ?

This is how thimerosal looks like.
It is an organic mercury compound.
The bond between the S(ulfur) and the Hg (mercury) is easily broken so one ends up with HgCH2CH3 (Ethylmercury)
This is the known damage caused by HgCH3 (Methylmercury) during industrial fish poisoning in the Japanese village Minamata.
Isn’t the resemblance striking? So why is thimerosal STILL being used? What follows explains already SOMEthing. Know though that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

To answer this question it is valuable (IMO) to also consider the fact that thimerosal damages the immune system. See the health and diet thread. Thimerosal, a preservative for vaccines and what else it does.

Is the continued use of thimerosal to be seen as a conspiracy ? Or is it due to willful ignorance in the past that borders on stark-ravening mad stupidity that is than followed by a conspiracy under the form of damage control?Tennessee Senator Bill Frist has previously tried to author a bill that would protect Eli Lilly and other vaccine makers from lawsuits concerning Thimerosal injuries and mental retardation. When writing his original bill, a watered down version was snuck into the recent Homeland Security Bill that specifically protects Eli Lilly from claims of mental retardation and Thimerosal injures. Frist not only consulted with the drug company, but the firm also contributed $226,250 to Frist’s National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. Additionally, when Frist wrote a book on bioterrorism following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Eli Lilly bought 5,000 copies and distributed the book to doctors around the United States.
