Well, the polio vaccine never had thimerosal in it, but that is extraneous.
This FDA page shows the condition of thimerosal in vaccines. Almost nothing.
As I said on another thread, mercury is in the ground, the air, and some in the food we eat. You could have a large amount of mercury in you right now. If you were susceptible to mercury, you would have autism before the vaccination, especially if you were breast-fed.
so, there is no difference between ingested mercury and injected mercury? I was under the impression that ingested mercury through food or aerosolized mercury through the air had a poor absorbtion rate. The tuna you eat may have more mercury in it than your flu vaccine but you retain less of it because of malabsorbtion through the gut wall. Injected mercury is there, as is, indefinitely. Short of acute mercury poisioning, there is no research into the effects of low doses of mercury. Just like sun radiation exposure, the longer your exposure the more likely the acute effects decades later after the tipping point has been reached. No one denies mercury is a toxin... we do not know what it will and will not do long term so until it is known do we just ignore it?
And don't forget mercury in dental amalgam... anyone with it ingests mercury daily.
There has been nothing to show otherwise. An argument has been made to blame amalgam fillings from anti-vaccine advocates because of the VAPOR emitted by the fillings, which you breathe in. That is one the bases for my argument. The vapor is more dangerous than the actual ingestion; I just had food as an example.
EDIT: No, when you breathe in mercury it stays with you. If you read [url=http://www.amazon.com/Defeating-Autism-Damaging-Michael-Fitzpatrick/dp/0415449812]
Defeating Autism: A Damaging Delusion[/url], you will find an example where a chemist did a study and found that 10% of the world's population cannot be cannibalized (grim, but actually that would show what low does over a long period of time would go I guess, wouldn't it?). The book also shows the danger of the anti-vaccine movement.
EDIT #2: It is completely false that the thimerosal in the vaccine stays in your body indefinitely. It gets flushed out fast and is very hard if not impossible to cross the blood-brain barrier.
