Still there, though now they're blaming mercury and antibiotics for autism
and whatever ails the masses think they have.

Not quite. Mercury, in thiomerisol, is a preservative in vaccines (or it
used to be) and the autism rate increased considerably since it was used.
There have not been scientific test, but anecdotal evidence points to it as
one in 162 children is autistic to some extent. China had virtually no
autism until they started using US made vaccines with it.
