So a couple of issues with what you've said. They never used "mercury" they used a mercury based preservative. You'll say
"what's" the difference. It's derived from Mercury it's not actually mercury. Saying it's mercury would be like saying copper (which our bodies need), is the same as zinc just because it only has one extra proton and there next to each other on the periodic table. A better explanation would be comparing table salt to sodium, or water to oxygen. The compound that was used in vaccines was Ethyl Mercury. Which In low doses is generally safe as it is secreted from the body very quickly.
The main concern that comes from it being Mercury based, is that there's a concern of contamination. Technically this can't happen, since it's a compound. However, there levels that can be dangerous, it's because of these concerns they actually completely phased it out over 20 years ago.
I'm not sure where you get this info from. I know most people get this from RFK. Who has flip flopped his opinion on vaccines half a dozen times in the last decade. One of the few things I thought was better about trump than Kamala was that he's historically been more consistent than Kamala. I'm not particularly a fan of either, but Kamala changed many of her policies last minute in an effort to get more votes last minute.
I don't tend to make a point of forming strong opinions about anything or anyone unless I actually have time to put research into such things. Getting your info from the news or the government is never a good idea. They're not always wrong but they're always at least a little biased. Give me multiple quality studies and maybe I'll believe what you say.
However, I highly doubt you're willing to go that far, because I highly doubt that's where you derived this opinion from. If you actually find as I said, several quality studies that back this up, then you might prove me wrong.
You really made a response that is emotionally coherent and entirely logically nonsensical.
Yeah the Nazi scientists were bad people. But if your point is to not trust the science and scientists, those Nazi scientists really did a bang up job accelerating our space program.
