This study, published in the journal Pediatrics, compares the neuropsychological performance, ten years after vaccination, of two groups of children exposed randomly to different amounts of thimerosal through immunization. The study concludes that, given the large number of statistical comparisons performed, the few associations found between thimerosal exposure and neuropsychological development might be attributable to chance.
