Incidentally, **** you, Jenny McCarthy. That is all.

Maybe they should have taken the vaccine themselves instead of depending on herd immunity then.

I feel sorry for you.

Class action lawsuit against the Wakefield?

I was really hoping we'd have some vaccines = autism people in here. Where's HalfLotus and NeOmega when you need them?

[Guynemer]

Some ideas are just too crazy, even for Polytubbies.

Why continue to put mercury in vaccines? Honest question.

[Lorizael]

We don't.

Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative in some vaccines (like H1N1). It's still perfectly acceptable in dosage.

These things are fine for people, just hurt in high exposures. Much higher than the amount in the vaccines.

Why continue to put mercury in vaccines? Honest question.

Because there's a difference between exposure and dose.

[Aeson]

But I was taking H1N1 vaccines hourly (eg. whenever the next scare story on the news ran)... will I be ok?

[DaShi]

Yes, as long as you don't stop taking them.

[Aeson]

Is there a mercury vaccine I can take so that the mercury in the vaccines won't affect me?

[notyoueither]

We don't.

Then why the controversy?

There was a time when there were physician recommended brands of tobacco.

You might understand why some people may not accept authority as gospel.

Why not make varients of vaccines without mercury at all?

[Asher]

IIRC they cost more and significant amounts of people are allergic to the alternative.

[Lorizael]

Then why the controversy?

Because people are stupid and don't change their arguments when presented with new data.
