Dude - Mercury and Formaldehyde are in the vaccines. Have you ever seen the ingredients? You don't have to be an anti-vaxxer to know whats in the vaccines
You can request the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for any vaccine; they're required to have them on hand. They will list the ingredients. Mercury and Formaldehyde are used as preservatives in vaccines, or were.
formaldehyde was also in baby shampoo until a few years ago. The dose is what makes the toxicity, and it wasn't toxic at all in the doses it had. They still ended up removing it because of public backlash, but they were in safe quantities, just as you consume cyanide when you eat certain fruits and nuts, just not enough to be toxic. Same is the case here. Fwiw I don't get any vaccines other then the essential ones when I was a kid, but that wasn't the reason
If you mean thimerosal, it was used as a preservative but is avoided now purely due to PR considerations. If you mean something else, you'll have to give us the vaccine it's in, the specific compound and information on how much is in a dose before we can have any kind of informed discussion on the topic.
It really matters what compound you have something in. Sodium explodes in water, while chlorine is a poisonous gas. Together they make NaCl, or table salt, which is necessary for life. Even though it's necessary, it still has an LD50--too much salt will kill you, though you would find it very hard to accidentally consume such a quantity without something like salt pills.
Thimerosal is still in vaccines, specifically flu vaccines (1/3 to 1/2 of them) and some others. We give these vaccines to infants and pregnant women so it's very, very important to know that it's safe.
For instance, the Afluria Quadrivalent vaccine for 2019-2020 has 24.5 mcg of Thimerosal in 0.5 mL. We give .25 mL to infants as young as 6 months so they are getting 12.25 mcg in a single dose.
While Thimerosal is 50% ethly mercury by weight, the safe effective dose for methyl mercury (a different form) according to the EPA is 0.1 mcg/kg/day. So an 12 lb infant could get ~0.02 mcg and be safe.
However a 2012 study found that ethyl mercury is over 50x more dangerous than methyl mercury. For the sake of argument let's assume that's not true and they are equally safe. Kids would still be getting 600x the safe daily dose! Then figure that they're getting multiple vaccines a day, month, year.
Of course that study contravenes a lot of data reported by the CDC/Pediatric Association/Whomever. They have still recommended phasing out Thimerosal from vaccines because of the potential links with debilitating developmental abnormalities, and we have. But it's still in some of the shots we give tiny kids.
And you have to consider that other vaccine ingredients like aluminum salts and polysorbate-80 can pass the blood-brain barrier and take ethyl mercury with them. There's never been a study done on the long-term affects of multiple doses of multiple combined adjuvants in infants as far as I know. THAT'S what I want to see before I expose my children to this stuff.
Why did the supreme court legally classify vaccines as "unavoidably unsafe". Why can't vaccine manufacturers be held liable for any damage caused by their product?

Isnt dosing the main argument people use though? Saying that too many vaccines all at once can cause issues.
And........? What's bad about it? Why do they want an excuse to put mercury in our bodies? Go on, spell it out.

I don't know. It's probably easy to find out. Why assume it's bad?
