You may be confusing methylmercury with metallic mercury.
Bioavailability of methylmercury is over 85%; in at least
one well-documented instance it went right through both
rubber gloves and skin.

"Plus, injecting a toxin bypasses the intestinal protection we have
evolved to protect us from eating or drinking heavy metals as two-
thirds of the metallothionine, a protein which binds and removes heavy
metals, is located in the intestines of humans.

The intestines pass upwards of 85% of methylmercury. It
was never a common contaminant until the last couple of
centuries with coal burning and the use of mercury in
refining metals, so there has been no evolutionary need
to deal with it.

A tuna sandwhich would contain about 12 mcg of ingested mercury where
most of it is excreted.

A can of tuna (180 grams) at the common tuna concentration of
0.5 ppm comes to 90 micrograms of mercury. A minimum of 85%
gets through the gut into the mother's system for a total
of about 75 mcg/can; figure about half that per sandwich.

You can add to that the amount in drinking water; 1 ppb is
somewhere in the range (see the allegations in the /Sykes/
litigation. At a very low intake of 1 kg/day that comes to
1 mcg/day -- not just once but for every day of pregnancy.
A woman would have to eat a tuna sandwich a month to match
the water intake load.

A 7 lb baby doesnt ingest a full tuna
sanwhich, Yet that same 7 lb baby is injected with 12.5 mcg of mercury
via the Hep B vaccine.

The subject was flu shots while pregnant.

I think it's safe to say that a fetus /in/ /utero/ neither
eats tuna sandwichs, becomes pregnant, nor gets flu shots,
so the context is maternal exposure. One flu shot lines
up with about half of a tuna sandwich (assuming multi-dose
vials of flu shots, which are not universal anyway) but
unlike sandwiches and drinking water there is at most one
flu shot per pregnancy.

What HepB has to do with this is not clear.
