Repeat - thimerosal is no longer used as a preservative in childhood vaccines.






There is risk in introducing especially live attenuated vaccines, it's plainly stated and parents have to sign off acknowledging those risks. That said, what do you think contracting the actual virus/disease itself will do if a child?

Mortality rates are infinitely higher in comparison to mere reactions from vaccine exposure.
I need a source for your statement that thimerosal is no longer used. AFAIK It is still used in MMR.
