Where Jenny McCarthy is off is in saying that "vaccines cause autism" by painting with such broad strokes. It's reductive and incorrect. Are their increased levels of some mercury-based preservatives in some vaccines? Can mercury cause neurological damage? Yes. Does that mean that vaccines are bad, writ large? No. In fact, MMR vaccines are a great thing for children. The only caveat is for their to be proper quality control to ensure that there aren't increased levels of mercury-based preservatives.
