EXCERPT: Conclusions: The administration of thimerosal in doses
equivalent to vaccines content was associated with low corporal
weight, low encephalon weight and smaller stature in postnatal
hamsters.

I was reading on the Barrett & the other Snake-oil Vigilante's
Healthfraud list this close minded fool who had not even read the
study, but in typical Healthfraud/Quack fashion dismisses it.

Here is an excerpt from the Healthfraud List from a typical fake
skeptic about this study, first published in Spanish.

I provide the English translation below. If anyone has access to the
Healthfraud List, please post this for them ... and anywhere else that
can benefit. The Snake-oil Vigilantes are filling the blog world with
their usual propaganda. Their list here:

A Healthfraud wrote about this study: "Someone else as well as myself
demanded an English translation to prove proper peer review, only to
be told I was being prejudiced against Spanish and that the report had
been peer reviewed. I don't believe it, but I can't get the idiots on
the Autism Speaks forum to understand the fact that there is no formal
translation of this report into any language that I am aware of makes
it obvious that the report is no good - otherwise the scientific
community would be falling over themselves to translate it."

LAURENTE, Jonny, REMUZGO, Fany, AVALOS, Betthina et al. Neurotoxic
effects of thimerosal at vaccines doses on the encephalon and
development in 7 day-old hamsters. An. Fac. med., Sept. 2007, vol.68,
no.3, p.222-237. ISSN 1025-5583.

Objectives: To determine if thimerosal administration in amounts
equivalent to vaccines content produces neurotoxic effects on the
encephalon in postnatal hamsters and on experimentation animals'
development. Design: Experimental, prospective, bietapic study.
Setting: San Fernando Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor
de San Marcos. Biologic material: Seven-day old hamsters. Material: We
divided 45 postnatal hamsters in three groups: group A (n = 15), group
B (n = 15) and group C (n = 15). We administered three intramuscular
equivalent doses of sucrose and thimerosal in 20 �L of physiological
serum respectively to groups B and C on birth-days 7 (0,227 �g), 9
(0,216 �g) and 11 (0,220 �g). Group A received only 20 �L of saline
solution. Main outcome measures: Body weight, encephalon weight,
hamster's stature and encephalon histopathological alterations.
Results: Anova and student t tests showed statistical significance in
favor of low body weight, low encephalon weight and smaller stature in
group C with respect to groups A and B hamsters (p<0,000). ?2
statistical significance in relation to the presence of
histopathological alterations in group C was also obtained (p<0,000).
We observed greater relative risk of encephalic alterations in group
C. Conclusions: The administration of thimerosal in doses equivalent
to vaccines content was associated with low corporal weight, low
encephalon weight and smaller stature in postnatal hamsters.
Neurotoxic effects were also produced at encephalic level, at
hippocampus (regions CA1, CA3, DG), cerebral cortex and cerebellum
(Purkinje cells and granuloses cells) with decrease in neuronal
density, neuronal necrosis, axonal dismyelinization and gliosis. In
addition, risk increase in developing any of these alterations was
high in the animal group receiving thimerosal.
