Mercury isn't in vaccines anymore!

[mamakah]

Tonight while talking about the flu shot with a family friend, he said "the flu shot is the only vaccine that still contains mercury. They have taken it out of all the others." I said "no, they haven't. It has been ordered that thirmosil be removed from all vaxs but some companies have not complied." This of course started a debate. It was (as usual) my word against his pediatricians. Can someone provide me with some info on this. I am searching myself too. My computer broke last week and with it I lost all my bookmarks and favorites that I used as reference.
Ugh!
Thank You!
BTW, I didn't get a chance to educate him on all the other disgusting and disturbing ingredients in vaccines.

Handy dandy Thimerosal table

The other thing to keep in mind about Thimerosol is that many vaccines contain "trace" amounts. It is used in the manufactering process and then "removed" leaving these trace amounts. The thing is though that there is nobody checking if this is the case....we are supposed to take the manufacterers word for this. I'm sorry but that's not good enough for me since I don't trust these companies as far as I can throw them....I would need to see evidence from a 3rd unbiased party who tests the batches of vaxes to see if Thimerosol is indeed only there in trace amounts and exactly how much is that trace amount.

Our trace amount and their trace amount I'm sure would be two very different things.

I was actually just talking a friend of mine about this and he was telling me about a trip home from France many years ago when he was talking to a woman who worked for a company that produced vaccines. He's extremely educated with it comes to vaccines (and he is 100% against them and doesn't believe in SIDS either) and he asked her all these questions. He never asked her name or her company, but she even admitted that should would never take a flu shot because of all the horrid crap they put in them.
Mercury isn't in vaccines. But mercury derivitives are and that's just as bad. It's still mercury but since it's not actually mercury itself, they can get away with saying its not there.
As far as people convinced they are safe and effective .. you really can't talk to them about it because, for the most part, they will never change their minds and it only serves to anger you and stress you out. At least it does for me.
Congrats on standing your ground!
