5. Stop it! Mercury (Thimerosal) in vaccines does NOT cause autism.

Numerous large-scale scientific studies and major medical organizations worldwide have definitively concluded that mercury in vaccines does not cause autism. The scientific consensus is that there is no causal link between the two. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availability-biologics/thimerosal-and-vaccines#:~:text=back%20to%20top-,No%20Link%20between%20Thimerosal%20in%20Vaccines%20and%20Autism,at%20the%20site%20of%20injection.

Thimerosal was removed from vaccines (thanks to unfounded fear mongering) 20 YEARS AGO, yet autism diagnoses have only increased. But you know what else has sharply increased over the last 20 years? Old men fathering babies. And THAT is directly associated with a several fold increase in autism risk.
