AV Gish Gallop #1 (Pt 1)

So initially I was going to make one big post concerning this list, what will now be known as AV Gish Gallop #1. (There are at least four similar lists with many repeat papers that I plan on tackling in some manner.)  This particular one remains unattributed ATM:

I'm not going to broach the pHARMA Gambit, but focus only on the studies presented.

A few points before we begin,

1. I am a layman and therefore rely on those resources that I consider smarter than I.
2. Any personal commentary is just that, my thoughts on said paper.
3. Before you accuse me of ad hom, make sure you know what it means.
4. As noted by a friend, all these papers (not necessarily this particular list) have a common theme: "Thimerosal, Biased researchers, Nothing to do with vaccines, Linky no worky, It's not aluminium in vaccines but aluminium salts, Small scale,,, Ah you know the drill"
5. Many of the papers have repeating authors.
6. Papers published in questionable or low quality journals.
7. Questionable peer review process.
8. And, oft times the papers are severely outdated.

With that in mind, I will be linking to abstracts (and the papers when possible).  When the paper is not available, I will be relying on sources for a portrayal of what is published.  If it is found that source misrepresented what is published, I will correct with adequate evidence of said error.

1]  A two-phase study evaluating the relationship between Thimerosal-containing vaccine administration and the risk for an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis in the United States (2013)
2]  A positive association found between autism prevalence and childhood vaccination uptake across the U.S. population (2011)
