My wife has MS. The last thing she needs is more heavy metals to cause
issues in her brain.
Why introduce a poison into your body that you do not need to? Just basic
common sense which few in the world have any more.
We follow the advice of so called professionals without thinking.
You do not need any vaccine unless you are likely to be in a highly
contagious environment.

examiner.com reporters are sometimes interesting writers but not
necessarily experts. i've noticed their articles on law and health
can be all over the map. like opinions written on blogs they can
sometimes start an unstoppable snowball of misinformation. they may
be more closely followed because they are in layman, not scientific
terms.
for another take, see, www.hhs.gov, vaccine safety and availibility.
Vaccines, bloods and biologics.
"Thimerosal as a Preservative"
"Thimerosal, which is approximately 50% mercury by weight, has been
one of the most widely used preservatives in vaccines. It is
metabolized or degraded to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate.
Ethylmercury is an organomercurial that should be distinguished from
methylmercury, a related substance that has been the focus of
considerable study (see "Guidelines on Exposure to Organomercurials"
and "Thimerosal Toxicity", below).
At concentrations found in vaccines, thimerosal meets the requirements
for a preservative as set forth by the United States Pharmacopeia;
that is, it kills the specified challenge organisms and is able to
prevent the growth of the challenge fungi (U.S. Pharmacopeia 2004).
Thimerosal in concentrations of 0.001% (1 part in 100,000) to 0.01% (1
part in 10,000) has been shown to be effective in clearing a broad
spectrum of pathogens. A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a
preservative contains 50 micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or
approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose.
Prior to its introduction in the 1930's, data were available in
several animal species and humans providing evidence for its safety
and effectiveness as a preservative (Powell and Jamieson 1931). Since
then, thimerosal has been the subject of several studies (see
Bibliography) and has a long record of safe and effective use
preventing bacterial and fungal contamination of vaccines, with no ill
effects established other than minor local reactions at the site of
injection.
While the use of mercury-containing preservatives has declined in
recent years with the development of new products formulated with
alternative or no preservatives, thimerosal has been used in some
immune globulin preparations, anti-venins, skin test antigens, and
ophthalmic and nasal products, in addition to certain vaccines. Under
the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, the FDA compiled a list of
regulated products containing mercury, including those with thimerosal
(Federal Register 1999). It is important to note that this list was
compiled in 1999; some products listed are no longer manufactured and
many products have been reformulated without thimerosal."
i think more emphasis should be put on the difference between
"organomercurial and methylmercury" and the bodies ability to handle
each one, especially at different age ranges.
