The vaccine injury phenomenon is comparable to the life-threatening peanut allergy phenomenon. There are a very small number of people who have a terrible reaction. But in the case of vaccines, the number of people whose lives are saved by them far exceeds the number who are harmed.
Thimerosal is no longer used in routine childhood vaccines in the US and Europe, but continues to be used in other US and European vaccines, and in routine childhood vaccines in countries where refrigeration is not reliably available and where using single-use vials of vaccine for routine vaccination program would be prohibitively expensive. But there's never been any proof that thimerosal is harmful to children. Thimerosol was sold for many decades as "merthiolate", which, if you're old enough, you'll remember was in virtually every household medicine cabinet and routinely applied to every childhood cut and scrape.
The National Vaccine injury Compensation program is a special no-fault claims system administered by a special court, to compensate the small number of people who had these unforeseeable severe reactions. There is no requirement for claimants to show that any vaccine manufacturer or health care provider did anything wrong; only to show that a vaccination was the probable cause of the reaction and related harm.
Applying something topically is entirely different than injecting it into the body of a child with an immature immune system. Removing it from early childhood vaccinations now is like a day late and a dollar short. Curious...
It was removed from routine childhood vaccinations a long time ago. And applying a comparatively large quantity of the substances to broken skin fairly frequently is not significantly different immunologically, from subcutaneous injection of a much smaller quantity on a very few occasions. Nobody's saying it's healthy to get significant amounts of this stuff into your body, but the amount in routine childhood vaccinations has never been shown to cause any harm.
I'm a retired RN. What pharmaceutical company pays your salary? Grand babies won't be filled with your garbage. When my oldest was young the doctors were pushing a new vaccine, I forget what thing it was supposed to prevent. She wasn't going to be dumped off in daycare so I said no. Surprise, surprise... I few years down the road the children that received the vaccine had necrotic bowel syndrome. Message to new parents that read this: Be the last in line for what ever new junk they want to inject into your babies. Space out their necessary injections and never more than one at a time.
