Still waiting for those peer reviewed studies .....

If you want to understand why this is not a simple cause/effect relationship that can easily be studied, this explains that there are actually 3 different factors that all have to happen simultaneously, which greatly complicates any possible study attempt.

Summary: A new study proposes that autism arises when genetic vulnerability, an early environmental trigger, and prolonged activation of the cellular stress response align during critical developmental windows. This “three-hit” metabolic model reframes autism as a disorder of disrupted cellular communication and energy metabolism rather than an inevitable genetic outcome.

By showing that two of the three factors are potentially reversible, the research suggests that early-life screening and metabolic interventions could reduce or prevent a substantial proportion of cases. The model integrates findings across mitochondrial biology, immune signaling, and neural circuit development to offer a unified biological framework for autism.

Key Facts

  • Three Biological Hits: Genetic sensitivity, early environmental stress, and a prolonged cell danger response interact to shape autism risk.
  • Metabolic Signaling Core: Chronic purinergic signaling and disrupted mitochondrial function may alter early neural circuit development.
  • Prevention Potential: Early detection of metabolic stress could reduce or prevent up to half of autism cases.

A new University of California San Diego School of Medicine study offers a unified biological model to explain how genetic predispositions and environmental exposures converge to cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The study, published in Mitochondrion on Dec. 9, 2025, describes a “three-hit” metabolic signaling model that reframes autism as a treatable disorder of cellular communication and energy metabolism.

The model also suggests that as many as half of all autism cases might be prevented or reduced with prenatal and early-life interventions.

“Our findings suggest that autism is not the inevitable result of any one gene or exposure, but the outcome of a series of biological interactions, many of which can be modified,” said study author Robert K. Naviaux, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine, pediatrics and pathology at UC San Diego School of Medicine.

“By understanding how these genetic and environmental factors stack to alter a child’s developmental trajectory, we can start to imagine preventive care and new approaches to treatment that were previously thought impossible.”

So
, in other words, you are claiming that you have no idea if your claims are true.

Wrong.
What I am saying is that mercury is always toxic, should never be deliberately introduced into the body, and has absolutely no positive use or effect.
Whether or not it causes autism can't be easily proven or disproven, but is still irrelevant since mercury is always a very bad idea anyway.
 
No - what you're saying is that there is no evidence that your claims are true.

Wrong.
My claims is that the mercury is always harmful, which is always true.
And that there was absolutely no reason at all to add the toxic mercury.
Whether or not it causes autism is the only thing unproven, and that is not relevant.
Mercury is always terribly harmful whether or not it causes autism.
 

Not sure what you mean "IS a topical antiseptic", since mercurochrome has been banned since 1998?
{...
1998
The ban on Mercurochrome, a mercury-containing antiseptic, was a significant regulatory decision by the FDA in 1998. The decision was made due to concerns over the safety of mercury and its potential toxicity, as well as its limited effectiveness compared to modern antiseptics. The ban was part of a broader effort to ensure that over-the-counter medicines are safe and effective for public use. Mercurochrome, which was once a staple in many medicine cabinets, is no longer available in the United States and has been replaced by safer alternatives. However, it is still sold and used in some other countries, reflecting the divergence in regulatory philosophies and access to alternatives.

It is highly toxic and dangerous, and should never have been used.
All antiseptics are toxic to some degree because their goal is to kill bacteria.
But things like hydrogen peroxide only last for seconds, and then leave no harmful residue.
Antiseptics like mercury make no sense because their toxicity lasts forever, and constantly harms valuable cells.
Eventually they get into the body fluids and effect the entire body.
Safe antiseptics stay local and are short duration.
 
" mercury has absolutely no positive effect at all, and instead ONLY has negatives." R5 #2,581

" moving to thiomersal-free vaccines in unidose presentations would represent such an incremental cost that millions of children would no more have access to vaccination. Therefore the World Health Organisation still recommends the use of thiomersal-containing vaccines" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15146581/
R5,
Your "no positive effect at all" undermines the millions of children mentioned by nih that would not be vaccinated without it.
You're welcome to your opinion about the simple binary of either vaccinating them with medication that includes trace amount of thiomersal, or no vaccination at all. BUT !!
Earthlings have ruled.
Not just Trump.
Not just congress.
Not just R5.
The protocol within our solar system is to vaccinate them.

This doesn't mean ethyl Mercury is delicious.
Instead it means it's considered better than the alternative.

The sanity check on that:
while outside-the-loop peanuts quibble from the gallery about sub-optimal vaccinations some of which may be administered once in the patient's lifetime,
there are other artificial health risks such as PFAS, aka "forever chemicals" in drinking water.
These are chemicals with federal limits not measured in parts per million, but in parts per trillion.
And rather than exposure once in the patient's lifetime, the exposures can (if lucky) be multiple times per day, in drinking water.

Bottom line, you seem to be trying to leverage half-truths:
" mercury has absolutely no positive effect at all" R5 #2,581
to draw a conclusion probably better to be avoided.

BUT ! (please pardon the compound metaphor)
If you must tilt at windmills, why not aim for the low-hanging fruit? Utilitarian: greatest benefit for the greatest number.

Don't get you point.
No other nation except the US and UK have ever allowed or used mercury in vaccinations.
Mercury does not in any way facilitate vaccinations, since all you need to do instead is use clean hypodermics if you want to make large vaccine containers.

Thimerosal was not used until the 1930s and is no longer used in most vaccines.
So it simply was a historical mistake we should leave behind.
