Correlation does not equal causation. Mercury != ethylmercury != methylmercury. You've got three different compounds with three different sets of properties. That's just chemistry 101. You bond a substance with something else, the properties of that substance will change. There are many elements and compounds that are completely inert until you bind them with something else. Then you get something highly unstable. You can't just say that anything bonded with mercury is bad. Also, you are dismissing the fact that the link between vaccines and autism has been proposed, studied and found to be wanting for evidence.
