Rich,
You aren't wrong. But then, you only studied these things, silly you. What on earth makes you think you know more about this than an over-ripe playboy bunny?
Even if mercury were still used in a majority of vaccines - it isn't - the quantity approaches the homeopathic level. Same with the - not used here - aluminum compounds and antibiotics. Your child picks up more formaldehyde from car exhaust walking down the street, once, in the morning than from all the aqueous solutions injected into him his entire life!
Since Americans rarely use adjuvants, and they will not be used in the US for the H1N1 vaccines, it is irrelevant that some aluminum compounds have, historically, been so used. Given what scientific research has shown us, I will be specifically taking a European version which does use adjuvants. I had the swine flu variation of '76, thank you very much and do not wish to go through that again. The statistical data that those of us who were ill in '55 or '63 or '76 are immune has turned out to be not quite as well correlated as one might have hoped.
I just fought through this battle with my red-nex brother's family. None are willing to get flu shots and are quite prepared to have their kids tossed out of school next month exactly because of these absurd, long-since rejected notions. That they will thereby almost certainly expose our parents to this killer is irrelevant to them.
When I was young, I didn't understand how epidemics could arise among advanced nations when the vectors were understood. Today, I understand.

Antivaccine activists would have you believe that vaccines are loaded with "toxins" and are therefore dangerous. While there are some chemicals that sound scary in some vaccines, they dose makes the p
