Mercury is not used in vaccines. A preservative that has mercury in the molecule is frequently used as a preservative yes, it's an antibiotic. Saying vaccines have mercury is like saying salt has sodium.
Eat sodium, you die. Eat table salt you don't.
Eat mercury you die. Eat Mercury((o-carboxyphenyl)thio)ethyl sodium salt you don't.
I can't take anybody seriously that doesn't get that basic fact.
And just because the mercury in thimerosal is part of a larger molecule that acts as a preservative, does not mean it's harmless. There are thimerosal free vaccines, I get them for my pets. Thimerosal is not needed to stabilize a vaccine.
If you're not the kind of idiot to think dangerous chemical=dangerous compound. I doubt most aren't.
Also, your analogy sucks
Not mine.
When people seek to reduce their sodium intake, they usually try to limit their salt consumption, because they recognize that salt is a source of sodium.
The issue is most people are too uneducated to know Sodium is dangerous. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Just because the mercury in thimerosal is part of a larger molecule that acts as a "preservative", does not mean it's harmless.
And just because the molecule has Mercury in it, doesn't mean it's dangerous.

So, it would be accurate.

Accurate, but misleading.

But still accurate.

This dumbass has never heard of the sodium/potassium pump.
Is potassium dangerous too, dumbass?

Did you have any questions about alkali metal reactions in the presence of water? Or did you get the idea?
Dortex ago
No I have not
Don't lick it..
Here's why it happens
