@zeke @HatkeshiatorTND @Humpleupagus @Suiseiseki @GoyGirl @KingOfWhiteAmerica @Robert_Edwardly @technolyze what I’m saying is that “mercury is not the problem”, and in fact is tard-bait, meant to get people sperging out about irrelevant minutiae rather than focusing on the core fact that a vaccine is a medical intervention of nonzero risk that does not make global sense, but rather only in certain sets of circumstances which don’t necessarily obtain in First World countries for all people and in all times and places
reminder: people used to drink mercury (and it accumulates in a lot of other places too), half of our food is cooked in aluminum, and people have even been injected with legendary doses of plutonium and died…. thirty years later, of a heart attack, in old age
if the human body wasn’t capable of sequestering and clearing something as simple as a transition metal at those low levels, in general, we would all be dead
yes I’m sure you can find a kid with tragically fucked kidneys or some kind of weird neural-metabolism genetic defect who accumulates mercury, maybe you could even find two or three, but
- we’re talking about the average human, and
- the problem with giving him those 27 shots is that it’s driving his immune system insane, not that he’s getting an amount of extra mercury as a one-shot that’s dwarfed by what he gets from his tuna-fish sandwiches on a regular basis
that’s all I’m saying
(note that I am not suggesting that you get your kid anything like those 27 shots, far from it, it’s just that the other reasons for refusing that are far more important and based in reality)
