Q10. Is it true that there is 10 times more mercury in the unadjuvanted vaccine? How can that be safe for pregnant women? Yes, the unadjuvanted vaccine does contain 50 ug of thimerosal while the adjuvanted vaccine has only 5 ug of thimerosal. The 50 ug remains within the daily limit recommended for environmental exposure to mercury. There’s significantly less mercury in the vaccine than you would find in a can of tuna fish.

Well I'm from Canada (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and I know a lot of people who have got the vaccine and just as many if not more that haven't. Why label people who are anti-vaccination as crazy or loons? That's not cool dude.
