Anyone curious as to what the mercury in the form of thimisol in the smallpox vaccine does to your brain?

First of all, it's thimerosal. According to the FDA, it's been used since the 1930's but most vaccines now have little or none.

According to the CDC:

No harmful effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. However, in July 1999, the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure.
Today, all routinely recommended pediatric vaccines manufactured for the U.S. market contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts.

Did you know that the mercurochrome our parents used to paint our boo-boos with also contained mercury?

Well that show's us that we can't believe everything the CDC says..

The link I posted in post # 6 is a report from the University of Calgary. I'll post again here for your convenience.

Toxicity of Thimerosal An Organic Mercurial Added To Vaccines

From the above link:

Iatrogenic exposure to mercury after hepatitis B vaccination in preterm infants. Stajich GV, Lopez GP, Harry SW, Sexson WR. J Pediatr (2000) May; 136(5):679-81
(10802503) Thimerosal, a derivative of mercury, is used as a preservative in hepatitis B vaccines. We measured total mercury levels before and after the administration of this vaccine in 15 preterm and 5 term infants. Comparison of pre- and post-vaccination mercury levels showed a significant increase in both preterm and term infants after vaccination. Additionally, post-vaccination mercury levels were significantly higher in preterm infants as compared with term infants. Because mercury is known to be a potential neurotoxin to infants, further study of its pharmacodynamics is warranted.

In fact, here's a list of material that you might want to look into.
