How Ironic.

All the hype in the media is the H1N1 virus and the vaccine. As many of my friends and family know...I am not a huge fan of vaccines. Tonight on the local evening news they were reporting on the H1N1 vaccine and how it does not contain thymerosol. The news anchor then went on to say thymerosol is not dangerous according to the CDC. My little lovely Gabe happened to be in the living room and walked out into the kitchen repeating CDC, CDC, CDC, CDC. Hmmmm....there's no danger in thymerosol. For those of you that don't know Gabe, he has echolalia and repeats lines from TV shows and parts of speech repetitively...it's a symptom of autism. Thymerosol is thought to cause autism and Gabe has autism spectrum disorder. Just thought it was ironic.
