‘Mercury causes brain damage, learning disabilities and other birth defects in children,...’

If it is so dangerous, why do they put it in vaccines as a preservative?

Thiomersal is not elemental mercury, although it is toxic in and of itself at high doses. The main metabolite is ethyl mercury, CH3CH2Hg+.

Children’s vaccines don’t have thiomersal in them these days; flu shots still do. Thiomersal is used due to its effectiveness at killing bacterial and fungal contaminants.
