(34,069 posts)(At the same time they are insisting that no pediatric vaccinations contain thimerosal - and slapping you upside the head for exposing their children to TB, without realizing that the only difference between your child and theirs is that you made an active decision not to vaccinate for TB).
I'm not personally concerned about thimerosal, but I do think that people should be able to choose to avoid it - so when everyone here keeps saying it was taken out of children's vaccines in 2001, I usually point out that it really hasn't been taken out of the vaccinations they are insisting children should have (even if they are not yet mandatory).
Personally, I find this thread really scary. People claiming the mantle of science and medicine spending a lot of time yelling at you, and insisting you should have just blindly followed the great god of government, when in this case the government position was not in line with what they claim is their motivation (the medical and scientific recommendations for vaccines). This crusade has really gotten out of control.
