Default Lead in 50 year-old plumbing solder?

To say "There have not been scientific test..." about anything related
to mercury and autisim is about the biggest understatement I have seen
this week. The supposed connection betweeen mercury and autism has been
studied extensively, both in the US and around the world.

It is telling when someone tosses out one of these anecdotal tidbits as
if it means something, when there has been a debate that going on for
years, decades of research, and millions of dollars sunk into both
small and large studies. Oh, but your little anecdote hasn't been
studied you say, so I guess that just wipes the whole slate clean and
we can just forget all the studies and start the discussion fresh
again.
