SUMMARY

Mercury was indeed used as a preservative in vaccines, primarily in trace amounts to prevent bacterial growth during production. However, the cessation of its use did not correlate with a decrease in autism cases, indicating that mercury was not a contributing factor to the rise in autism diagnoses. Extensive evidence supports that mercury in vaccines did not cause neurological or psychiatric disorders.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vaccine production processes
  • Knowledge of mercury as a chemical compound
  • Familiarity with autism spectrum disorder statistics
  • Awareness of public health policies regarding vaccine safety
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of preservatives in vaccine formulation
  • Investigate the historical use of thimerosal in vaccines
  • Examine studies on vaccine safety and autism correlation
  • Learn about current vaccine safety regulations and monitoring
USEFUL FOR

Public health officials, vaccine researchers, parents considering vaccination for their children, and anyone interested in the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

Was mercury used as a preservative in vaccines, and if so, in what doses, and is there any evidence that this caused increased numbers of neurological/psychiatric disorders?

Yes, it was. I don't know what doses, but for the last question, the fact that autism cases didn't drop after they stopped using it suggests that it wasn't what was causing the recent increase in autism cases.
 
The mercury that used to be used in vaccines was only in trace amounts. It was added earlier in the production process to prevent bacterial growth, but then the whole lot was much further diluted for working concentrations actually used in the vaccines.

There is no evidence that it contributed to any neurological/psychiatric disorders when it was used.
