"Sorry, but mercury is only poisonous if inhaled as a vapor. If ingested or injected mercury were poisonous everyone who ever got a common mercury/silver amalgam tooth filling would be stricken, and mercury as a preservative has been present in vaccines for 100 years, so it cannot suddenly be responsible for an increase in autism."

No need to apologize. This is a very confusing topic and there is not a lot of information out there. Thimerosal has only been around since the 30's. You are correct in saying that it has always been used in vaccines. But what you may not realize is that the amount of ethlymercury received by children through Thimerosal-containing vaccines increased 246% between 1986 and 1991. Additionally, children were given vaccines at birth (because there is a good chance of a newborn doing drugs or having unprotected sex that would cause them to acquire HEPB - that was sarcasm).

Your statement regarding mercury only being dangerous if inhaled is simply not true. Please reference my initial post and view some of the studies I mention. You will see what I mean. Do you recall "Mad Hatters" or "Pink Disease"? These are mercury poisonings and we know this today. I'm quite certain they were not inhaled mercury.

And there is a growing body of evidence about the dangers of amalgam fillings which I won't get into now.

Yes, they were. I had a friend killed the same way by working in an inadequately ventilated room with an open mercury container

The amount of mercury in every vaccination you get in your entire life is less than what you ingest with the installation of one tooth filling.
