Can some one explain this to me? History and every thing? I have heard that Thimerosal is 50x more toxic than regular mercury and they are putting it in our shots? http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/UCM096228 This is strait from the FDA so please no be stupid and post shit saying its not it them.
Actually, Thimerosal has been quite controversial in the recent years. It is an ethyl-mercurial compound that is quite toxic. As an undergraduate I studied this compound along with a few others of the same class. I was looking at developmental toxicity of this compound in zebrafish. My research clearly showed that these classes of compounds induces oxidative stress in developing brains and nerve stems in zebrafish. Which means that thimerosal can be extremely harmful to infants and developing embryos.
People believe that exposing thimerosal at developmental stages can cause problems later in development. There is very weak evidence that thimerosal exposure during development can cause autism.
This is another reason why this drug is quite controversial.
The FDA in recent years has worked diligently to eliminate most of these preservatives from vaccinations however some still have traces of Thimerosal.
People have been getting these shots with Thimerosal for decades. And its saftey has been proven over and over to those of age.
However, I would use caution if you are a woman who is pregnant.
There are a very limited number of vaccinations that are preserative free or contain trace Thimerosal and I would go out of my way to ensure that my child gets little/no exposure to it.

I’ve read conspiracy theory stories (largely from A. Jones websites to be honest) about this issue. It’s one of those things I really hope is wicked dis-information but I can’t wrap my mind around how we allowed mercury in vaccines let alone this crap. I never get flu shots and don’t believe in vaccines because I’m just paranoid enough to believe this stuff. If true, it’s seriously sick, no pun intended.
