It's not the vaccines that cause autism, it's the preservatives they put in the vaccines.
Before 2000 a lot of big pharma companies used to use Thiomersal (sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate) (49% mercury) as a preservative for some of their vaccines. In 1999, after rapports from the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics linking the use of Thiomersal to allergies, autism, neurological disorders etc Thiomersal was banned from the American, Canadian and European markets. Most existing stockpiles of vaccines containing Thiomersal were later dumped on the South American market or sold to NGO's who used them in vaccination campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa.
Back in 2009, during the Mexican flu scare, when governments around the world placed huge orders for flu vaccines, Big Pharma needed a way to increase their output. The easiest way to do so was to start using Thiomersal again (because apparently it is easier and cheaper to produce). In July 2009 the Washington Post ran a piece on the use of mercury (Thiomersal ) in the flu vaccines and in 2010 it was revealed that the German government had explicitly ordered vaccines without Thiomersal for use by the armed forces and critical personnel and the cheaper vaccines containing Thiomersal for the general population.
