Weldon's letter continued:

"A review of these documents leaves me very concerned that rather than seeking to understand whether or not some children were exposed to harmful levels of mercury in childhood vaccines in the 1990s, there may have been a selective use of data to make the associations in the earliest study disappear. While most childhood vaccines now only have trace amounts of mercury from thimerosal containing vaccines (TCVs), it is critical that we know with certainty if children were injured in the 1990s."

Weldon, it appeared, had caught the CDC researchers red-handed! They never dreamed that anyone could find out what they were up to, but then they didn't count on being investigated by a Congressman whose office had the power to obtain data that an average individual could not.

And what was it his office discovered?

According to his letter:

"The first version of the study produced in February, 2000, found a significant association between exposure to thimerosal containing vaccines (TCVs) and autism and neurological developmental delays (NDDs). When comparing children exposed to 62.5 micrograms of mercury by 3 months of age to those exposed to less than 37.5 micrograms, the study found a relative risk of autism of 2.48 with a higher exposure level."

In other words, the first version of the report said that there was a definite link between thimerosal and autism - exactly the opposite of the result reported in the final report published in Pediatrics!

But how could this be?
