There is no harm in raising a fuss or even a brouhaha about the relatively slow pace of improvement in vaccines, especially as it concerns the willful introduction of mercury into vaccines.

Yep. Some vaccines were and are preserved in a solution that is nearly 50% methylmercury or ethylmercury. I guess for some it depends on what is an acceptable(as far as number of children) amount of debilatating neurological disorders.

Uh, that sounds pretty high.

Karen E. Wetterhahn a chemist at Dartmouth died after only being exposed to only a couple drops of dimethylmercury on her gloved hand.

First it's not THERE ANYMORE. From CDC

Thimerosal is used as a preservative in some multi-dose vials of vaccines to prevent contamination. Preservatives are not required for vaccines in single-dose vials. As a preservative, thimerosal is added at the end of the production process to the bulk or final container to prevent contamination after multi-dose vials are opened. Today, all routinely recommended licensed pediatric vaccines that are currently being manufactured for the U.S. market are free of thimerosal as a preservative.

Second. You grossly overstate the mercury content. While Thimerosol is 50% mercury, the CONCENTRATION in the vaccines of thimerosol is around .01 % or 1 ONE HUNDREDTH of ONE PERCENT. From CDC info.

Get your facts straight.
