You'll have to read it again because I didn't say that, the CDC did. You say one flu vaccine but the CDC says multiple. Check the CDC link. To paraphrase, "It's out of most single dose and in most multi-dose." That's more than one. I can't keep responding to people who won't even read what they're disagreeing with...

Nope. I didn't say anything about childhood vaccines in my OP. The myth, as I stated plainly, is "Vaccines do not contain mercury." They do contain mercury. Not all, but some, so the statement is incorrect.

I'm saying that even if you live away from people, you can still get diseases from plants / funghi. Things like Malaria, Dengue and JEV can be gotten from animals.
And if you're on Reddit, you got some piece of technology. This is pretty silly. :P

Kind of hard to avoid exposure unless you abandon being in contact with people completely - and even then, not all diseases that you can vaccinate against come from humans.
It's not possible to (safely) avoid exposure.

Herd immunity to me is a delegation of one's responsibility of his wellbeing to others. That's basically what it is; regardless if a drug works or not. And that's insanity at its finest point having someone to blame others for his immune being grounded. It's unbelievable.

I didn't admit there are. Two vaccines contain thimerasol. That is a compound and not an element. If you'd like, I'll start a GoFundMe to put you into a basic chemistry class so you understand the fucking difference. Jesus Christ, it's literally been like arguing with an anti-vaxxer. You cannot retain anything taught to you, no matter how many people explain it to you.

You finally admit there is mercury in vaccines. You arguing with yourself kid. I never said it's worrisome. I just said it's in there and that's a problem when doctors and TED talks are saying it's not. You seem to only be able to disagree with things I didn't say. 100% of my argument is that mercury is in vaccines, which you seem to suddenly agree with after spending an entire day saying the opposite. I'm gonna let go of your hand now. ✌️

Because it is an ethylmercury you monumental dumbass. Also, just because there is mercury in the compound doesn't mean it's unsafe. That's like saying table salt is dangerous because it contains sodium and chloride. We obviously don't worry about the elements that make up what goes on or in most of our foods, why are you making a fuss about thimerasol? Oh yeah, because you're an idiot.
Also, your analogy is shit. You could go get 40 vaccines at once and still receive less "mercury" than you would eating fish, and fish contains methylmercury, which is actually harmful.
Even if we humored your ridiculous idea that the mercury in thimerasol is actually worrisome, which it isn't because thimerasol still isn't mercury, you should worry more about literally everything else because of the minuscule amounts of it. The dose makes the poison and your liver and easily handle less than a mcg of ethylmercury.

Good thing I didn't say thimerosal is mercury, but there is mercury, in the form of ethylmercury, in thimerosal. Jumping off a 5-story building is "relatively safe" compared to Jumping off a 10-story building. Why are you saying "ethyl"? Would it make you look stupid to say ethylmercury? Yeah probably.

You can be anything on the internet and you choose to be an idiot. There is no mercury in vaccines. Never has been. Now, let's humor the idea and hey into your world where for some reason, it matters that thimerosal is 50% ethyl organomercury by weight.
There isn't even a microgram of thimerosal in the multi-dose flu shot, which is referred to as a "trace amount." Now, only half of that not even a mcg is actually ethyl organomercury.
Your body, a result of billions of years of evolution, has an organ system whose sole purpose is to filter stuff out. Guess what? That incredibly tiny amount of ethyl organomercury is processed by this system extremely easily and is removed from the body.
So, Dr. Dumbass, do you want to keep going on about the total NON-FUCKING-ISSUE of thimerosal and how it ISN'T FUCKING MERCURY, or do you want to continue to be a total idiot?
Jesus fucking Christ, dude, you might as well be against vaccines because you sure as shit aren't for the truth.
Also, go get a flu shot and come back and tell me if there's a question on the form you filled out about being allergic to thimerosal. They don't exactly hide it. 1. It's an ingredient in a shot which has a thimerasol free version and 2. Unless your body personally has a problem with it, it's not harmful.
Fuck.

Not in my mind, but in the FDA's mind, "Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound."
https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/safetyavailability/vaccinesafety/ucm096228
But you are correct, chloride isn't one of the fucking ingredients of french fries, unless they're salted, in which case it is, because there is chloride in sodium-chloride. That's why it's called sodium-chloride. Bye now.

I have not disputed this. Elements (mercury) are in compounds (thimerosal). Thimerosal, a compound, contains mercury, an element.

I sure am, which is how I know there is mercury in vaccines when doctors have told me and millions of others the opposite... I didn't post this intending to be educated. If you claim to have knowledge I don't, it only makes sense for me to ask what it is, and for you to explain it, especially if it's elementary. Why not just educate me? Wouldn't that be easier?

You make a good point about natural infection antibodies being passed from mother to child. So if the child did contract measles, the body would recognize it & a lesser reaction would occur.
Now that we're in the 3rd generation of lower quality vaccine immunity, children/adults contracting measles would have a more serious reaction.

See my comment above, this probably is a error on the part of the cdc, but isn't a reason not to vaccinate
Also, your link doesn't talk about the effects of measles, it just says MMR doesn't cause autism

Good job catching this error, but note that the case-fatality rate may have gone up in recent decades due to the fact that most people are vaccinated, so a higher percentage of those who get measles may be immune-compromised, too young to be vaccinated (natural infection leads to immunity that are passed on to the child, but vaccination doesn't as much), or adults (who get worse measles)
Even so, way less people die of measles now than before the vaccine, because of the massive ( >20,000 fold) decrease in the number of people infected.

Nah.
>It's actually closer to 1 in 10,000 or 0.01% of cases.
It's actually closer to 0% in areas where it's been eliminated, due to vaccination.
There's also a whole host of terrible sequalae associated with the virus. And the known fact that anyone framing a situation as "the only thing you should care about is the rate at which you will literally die" is a complete asshat.

Similar things can also be said about small groups of scientists who don't believe in evolution, or deny climate change. They're all still quacks.

Physicians for Informed Consent is a group of board certified medical doctors, neurobiologists, immunologists, nurses & lawyers. Members have also testified in front of Congress regarding vaccine safety. I don't see how that's a conspiracy

>Now that we're in the 3rd generation of lower quality vaccine immunity, children/adults contracting measles would have a more serious reaction.
Note that although now measles may be more serious for the who do get it, the chance of getting it at all now is lower than the chance of *dying* from measles before the vaccine, so this is not an argument against vaccination

And you're still wrong--it's not an error. The estimate is actually 1-2 per 1000 which derived from surveillance data collected throughout the 1985-1992 measles resurgence.
Read [that](https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.me.43.020192.002315) and then get back to me. Also, to state the obvious, you're conflating *estimated* cases with *reported* deaths, aka apples to oranges. As an aside, it is fun to note your wording stance change from "Known calculation error" to "probably an error".
Finally, my link does not "just" say MMR doesn't cause autism. It's a chestnut for standard anti-vaxxer nonsense. For measles sequelae you can read any of the dozen CDC articles for laypeople or you can check [this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22889539/) for just CNS sequelae, if you're feeling frisky.
You should probably stick to reputable sources, such as the CDC.

I meant it was an error to say the death rate was 1 in 1,000 before the vaccine, note that in my other comment[https://www.reddit.com/r/VaccineMyths/comments/b8jhk7/myth\_1\_in\_1000\_measles\_cases\_are\_fatal/ejz85ic?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x](https://www.reddit.com/r/VaccineMyths/comments/b8jhk7/myth_1_in_1000_measles_cases_are_fatal/ejz85ic?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) I said the case-fatality rate may be going up as the number of cased dropped due to vaccination, so I am not challenging the estimate that it was 1 in 1,000 in 1985-1992 (more recent data actually shows 1 in 250)
>Finally, my link does not "just" say MMR doesn't cause autism.
What does it say then? I didn't see anything about neurological sequelae in that article, but I do know they exist.
>It's a chestnut for standard anti-vaxxer nonsense.
Did you miss "but isn't a reason not to vaccinate"? Also note that in the comment I linked I also say the vaccine has reduced deaths
>As an aside, it is fun to note your wording stance change from "Known calculation error" to "probably an error".
I wasn't the one who said "Known calculation error", but even if I was, arguing semantic details is pointless

I understand you're saying that. I don't believe it.

Which would be an interesting hypothesis considering the apparent mortality rate hasn't changed from pre-1963 to recent outbreaks. I don't see much support for it from where I'm standing.

That could be something.

No. It's still a good resource.

It's not arguing semantics. And in any case, you'd be saying it's "probably an error" which is unsubstantiated.

Ah, I see that now.

Measles has never been eliminated. There have been cases every year since the introduction of the vaccine. Numbers vary by year. In 1982, there were 1,697 reported cases of measles in the US and public health officials stated that elimination was around the corner. Then a resurgence occurred between 1989-1991 with over 53,000 cases. As a result of this increase, children were required to get a second dose of the vaccine.
In the year 2000, when the US declared it "eradicated," there were still 86 cases of measles.
Then take into account vaccine strain virus shedding after MMR. Reports of throat, blood, and urine samples all testing positive for vaccine strain measles infection up to 5 weeks from vaccination.
[Vaccine associated measles 5 weeks post vaccine](https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES2013.18.49.20649)
[Measles in Throat of Vaccinated Child](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X01004959)
[Excretion of Vaccine Strain Measles virus](https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/ese.15.35.19652-en)
During the 2015 California measles outbreak, many suspected cases actually occurred in persons who were recently vaccinated. 194 measles virus sequences were collected in 2015, with 73 cases found to have actually been vaccine strain measles.
2011 New York, report of 88 person measles outbreak started by a twice-vaccinated individual.
[Measles Mary](https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/58/9/1205/2895266)
Can measles truly be eliminated if the live virus continues to be injected into the population with vaccines?
​
And since you sent me a study discussing MMR, thimerosal and autism. Here's a link to a hidden CDC study of vaccinated vs unvaccinated. It compares children receiving the thimerosal containing Hepatitis B vaccine during the first month of life. The results of this study were never released by the CDC and an abstract was only obtained under FOIA request.
Children vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine in the first month of life compared to children receiving no vaccines in the first month of life had an increased risk of 762% for autism, 829% for ADHD, 638% for ADD, 565% for tics, 498% for sleep disorders, and 206% for speech delays.

> Measles has never been eliminated.
The Americas were declared measles free back in 2016. I'm guessing you confused 'locally eliminated' with 'globally eradicated'.
>There have been cases every year since the introduction of the vaccine.
You mean since the virus has existed?
>Then take into account vaccine strain virus shedding after MMR. Reports of throat, blood, and urine samples all testing positive for vaccine strain measles infection up to 5 weeks from vaccination.
Vaccine strain isn't the same as the pathogenic strain. This isn't scary for anyone except those undergoing chemotherapy and other immune-depleting situations.
>During the 2015 California measles outbreak, many suspected cases actually occurred in persons who were recently vaccinated.
[Wrong](https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6406a5.htm?s_cid=mm6406a5_w):
>>Among the 110 California patients, 49 (45%) were unvaccinated; five (5%) had 1 dose of measles-containing vaccine, seven (6%) had 2 doses, one (1%) had 3 doses, 47 (43%) had unknown or undocumented vaccination status, and one (1%) had immunoglobulin G seropositivity documented, which indicates prior vaccination or measles infection at an undetermined time.
Which is entirely consistent with vaccination efficacy.
>194 measles virus sequences were collected in 2015, with 73 cases found to have actually been vaccine strain measles.
Wrong again:
>>The source of the initial Disney theme park exposure has not been identified. Specimens from 30 California patients were genotyped; all were measles genotype B3, which has caused a large outbreak recently in the Philippines, but has also been detected in at least 14 countries and at least six U.S. states in the last 6 months (1).
Vaccine strain is not capable of causing wild-type disease.
>2011 New York, report of 88 person measles outbreak started by a twice-vaccinated individual.
Wow, let's hope this isn't a common occurrence. From your source:
>>**This is the first report** of measles transmission from a twice-vaccinated individual with documented secondary vaccine failure.
Impressive. You've convinced me fully. We should stop vaccinating.
>Can measles truly be eliminated if the live virus continues to be injected into the population with vaccines?
Yep. Happened with smallpox, and from entire hemispheres with polio and measles. Did you forget that?
>And since you sent me a study discussing MMR, thimerosal and autism.
You didn't read it. You should read it.
>The results of this study were never released by the CDC and an abstract was only obtained under FOIA request.
Wait...you mean *this* unpublished study???

Okay, it says that MMR, thimerosal, and "too many vaccines" don't cause autism, but no one ever said anything about autism, so I still don't know why you brought this up

I just explained it. I thought you were the other poster who is an antivaxxer. I provided a general resource debunking the core pillars of antivaxxer nonsense. And, to be clear, OP and the conspiracy squad have mentioned autism. So it is directly relevant to the overall discussion, just maybe not to you.
I don't know why you find this is so bothersome. If you want to know what's in it, read it. If you like it, save it. If you don't find it useful, don't worry about it. Repeat as necessary. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to mention it further.
---
>Here is an explanation of how I calculated the measles death rate (including the 1 in 250 estimate)
Great, let's break that down.
>CDC lists a death rate up to 1 in 500, but mentions that before the vaccine there were thought to be 3-4 million cases and 500 deaths each year, which would be a 1 in 6,000-8,000 death rate
There are three incongruous parts meshed together with one bad assumption:
1) The mortality rate of measles is "up to 1:500"
2) Pre-1963, there were an estimated 3-4 million cases of measles annually
3) Pre-1963, there were 500 deaths annually
For the third point, this is, according to the CDC source, from reported measles deaths. This is not an estimate, it is an average value of actual, reported cases. This is true for pre-1963 era.
For the second, this is an estimate of the total measles morbidity annually prior to 1963. This is probably accurate for pre-1963 era, but comes loaded with a 25-33% error range, not including a particular confidence interval.
For the first, the mortality rate is based on data from both before 1963 and after. This is derived from confirmed measles cases and confirmed measles deaths. Nuance is lost in the first point since you've lost the range, which is 1-2 per 1000. Additionally, this value is reported in an intuitive way (X per 1000) rather than the more scientifically meaningful way, a decimal number (2.0 per 1000; 0.63 per 1000). You can make the denominator increase or decrease 'large' amounts for relatively small movements in actual case fatality rates and with no or little meaningful statistical resolution between the two.
And to belabor the point I've already made, you are comparing **estimated** morbidity with **known** mortality. That is apples to oranges. If you had an estimate of morbidity with an estimate of mortality, you could have at it. What's interesting, then, is that to get your 1:250 number you compare **known** cases with **known** mortality, not estimates. And this is further massaged by picking, presumably arbitrarily, 1994-2014. If we, also arbitrarily, include up to 1988 then we get a CFR of 0.0022 or roughly 1:450. If we just look at the outbreak of 1989-1991 we also get a CFR of 0.0022. If we just take the first five years of reported values starting at 1950--which has a combined 40 times case numbers than the entirety of 1988 onward--we get a CFR of 0.001 or roughly 1:970. Which rounds out a nice estimate of 0.001-0.002 or 1-2 per 1000.
And yet in the first paragraph you have picked a *single range*--with no mind for data collection, statistical confidence, attack rate by age, or other extrapolation issues--while ignoring the repeatedly collected and congruent information which suggests this homebrewed estimate is wrong or not informative as packaged.
But I appreciate you explaining how you calculated it. Vaxfact seems like a very dubious website, as an aside. I would like to repeat my caution that you stick to reputable sources.

The information I provided is not wrong. It's from a 2017 study in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. One of the co-authors is CDC Division of Viral Diseases official Rebecca J. McNall.
[Identification of Measles Virus Vaccine Genotype](https://jcm.asm.org/content/55/3/735)
McNall wrote, "During the measles outbreak in California in 2015, a large number of suspected cases occurred in recent vaccinees. Of the 194 measles virus sequences obtained in the United States in 2015, 73 were identified as vaccine sequences." This proves that the measles outbreak was in part caused by the vaccine.
​
>Vaccine strain isn't the same as the pathogenic strain. This isn't scary for anyone except those undergoing chemotherapy and other immune-depleting situations.
McNall contradicts that by explaining that vaccine strain reaction (rash & fever) is clinically indistinguishable from the natural disease. You need genotyping to confirm the origin and distinguish vaccine strain cases from wild-type cases.
So by you saying that vaccine strain measles is only scary for the immunocompromised, and CDC stating that the reaction of vaccine strain and wild strain is identical, it proves that the general public should NOT be worried about measles. It is a mild illness to everyone but, as you said, "those undergoing chemotherapy and other immune-depleting situations."
​
Also, thank you for showing me the 2004 Thimerosal study. You've uncovered something interesting.
The 1999 study is titled *Increased Risk of developmental neurologic impairment after high exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccine in first month of life.* It states children who received the Hep B at birth had an increase of 762% for autism, 498% for sleep disorders, and 206% for speech delays compared to children that did not receive the vaccine.
The conclusion: This analysis suggests that high exposure to ethylmercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines in the first month of life increases the risk of subsequent development of neurologic development impairment...
​
Oddly, the 2004 continuation study is the exact opposite. Titled *Safety of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines: A Two-Phased Study of Computerized Health Maintenance Organization Databases.*
In this "Phase II" study, they've re-analyzed the Phase I data and suddenly found no increased risks for autism or attention-deficit disorder.
*Conclusions.* No consistent significant associations were found between TCVs and neurodevelopmental outcomes. **Conflicting results were found at different HMOs for certain outcomes. For resolving the conflicting findings, studies with uniform neurodevelopmental assessments of children with a range of cumulative thimerosal exposures are needed.**
​
I have a feeling that you regard everything the CDC reports as unquestionably true. But even you might find this a bit sketchy:
\- In 1997, Congress mandated the FDA to complete a review of mercury in drugs and food.
\- In 1999, CDC conducted their study, found incredibly concerning data, and instead of making it public, they decided not to publish.
\- In 2001, the CDC removed or reduced thimerosal in all childhood vaccines because of safety concerns.
\- In 2004, they published the continuation study that suddenly found that thimerosal was safe all along. And to resolve this obvious conflict in data between Phase I & II, they suggested that more studies of children exposed to thimerosal were needed. Conveniently, thimerosal had already been removed...

Let me be more clear. There's a way they know that- how do they know? Also, does everyone eat tuna every day? No, so is it in other foods or what? You made a really broad statement that you're only showing as it applies to tuna and your citation is just a website. It's the FDA ok, but what scientific data is it based on? A website is not the same as a medical journal or a published study etc.

I really don’t understand what you’re asking for. I read our conversation, made sure the article I linked to was referring to my second sentence (“there’s more mercury in your daily consumption of food than in vaccines”), read the quotation (the specific part that refers to my sentence is the last one, talking about tuna cans), checked you request, but I really don’t know what you’re asking for now. What are you trying to say by “references”? I linked the article and quoted the relevant part. I don’t understand your request at all

| ERROR: type should be string, got "https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/safetyavailability/vaccinesafety/ucm096228 \n\n“Thimerosal in concentrations of 0.001% (1 part in 100,000) to 0.01% (1 part in 10,000) has been shown to be effective in clearing a broad spectrum of pathogens. A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a preservative contains 50 micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose. For comparison, this is roughly the same amount of elemental mercury contained in a 3 ounce can of tuna fish”"

You know the dosis of mercury in vaccines is ridiculously small, right? Your daily consumption of food has more mercury in it than vaccines

Why are you giving examples from other countries 40-60 years ago?? To think vaccines are made in the same way today, in America, as they were in countries that many years ago would be like saying your new dodge caravan is the same thing as an old rusty VW Van. Where vaccines are manufactured matters. The quality of the facility matters. The quality of the ingredients matters.
American made vaccines are in high demand in China right now after receiving faulty Chinese made vaccines.

You misinterpreted some of what I said. I'm going to explain myself again and capitalize the important words.
​
>"...recipients of measles virus-containing vaccine EXPERIENCE RASH AND FEVER which may be INDISTINGUISHABLE from measles." [Source](https://jcm.asm.org/content/55/3/735)
>
>"We report a 1-year-old boy who, 10 days after vaccination, DEVELOPED VACCINE MEASLES which was CLINICALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE from the natural disease." [Source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15804301?dopt=Abstract)
Clinically indistinguishable means that when OBSERVING the patient, the PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS (rash & fever) can look the same in BOTH wild strain and vaccine strain measles.
​
>Vaccine strain isn't the same as the pathogenic strain. This isn't scary for anyone except those undergoing chemotherapy and other immune-depleting situations.
True. They differ on a genetic level. But they share the common physical symptoms of rash & fever. You taught me that the pathogenic strain can cause further complications like SSPE. According to the CDC, severe complications are rare. Pneumonia is said to be 1 in 20. That doesn't look bad when compared to the MMR II pre-licensing studies that got released this week. The studies show 40-50% of kids got upper respiratory infections and gastro-intestinal disorders after the MMR vaccine. That's a harsh trade-off for a virus that causes rash & fever in the common person and then gives you lifelong immunity. Unless you're immunocompromised, no reason to be scared of wild measles.
​
>Of the 194 measles virus sequences obtained in the United States in 2015, 73 were identified as vaccine sequences
​
>Those recent vaccinees were not infected with measles. They simply had a relatively common reaction to the vaccination and, due to proximity (locale and time) with an actual measles outbreak, were initial false-positives.
Your argument is that these vaccinees were not infected with measles. They simply had the EXACT SAME PHYSICAL REACTION as the people that DID catch the measles at the SAME TIME & LOCATION of a measles outbreak?
Maybe entertain the possibility of primary & secondary vaccine failure. Or viral shedding from other recent vaccinees. Your faith in this vaccine is strong my friend.
​
Now the 1999 pilot. You got this wrong. And I'm the one that doesn't know how to read?
>More data can do that. Weird how sample sizes work?
Actually they looked at less data. The 1999 unpublished pilot looked at 400,000 infants in the VSD. Phase I of the 2004 published study only looked at 124,170 infants in the VSD.
>Yep. Bigger sample size.
Wrong again. In phase II, the most common disorders associated with exposure in phase I were re-evaluated among only 16,717 children.
It's so obvious that they reduced the sample size to make the links to autism, sleep disorders, learning disabilities and speech delays in the 1999 pilot statistically less significant. Then they reduced it again. Wow. This is the same strategy Dr. William Thompson said he used with his team to bury the autism link during the famous 2004 MMR study.
​
Furthermore, there's a massive ethical issue with the 1999 study. If you're the CDC, and you find data that points to a 762% increase in autism after the Hep B shot, you have a duty to disclose that to the public. The CDC is the health protection agency of the nation.
They had multiple options:
Hold a press conference and re-assure the public that a further study would be done immediately. (This study analyzed existing data in the VSD so they could literally have done this study with a computer in a few hours).
Remove the Hep B vaccine indefintely for non-risk newborns until further study was completed. Only administer it to at-risk newborns if their mother tested positive for Hep B during pregnancy. It is a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease given on the first day of life. It would have made zero difference.
Either option would would have built public trust and strengthened the vaccine program.
Instead, they hid the study. Then 5 years later, they reduce the sample sizes and publish a study "proving" everything was safe all along.
Fortunately for us, the FOIA request has exposed the unpublished 1999 pilot. Now, the CDC loses credibility, and confirms people's suspicions that it cares more about protecting pharma profits and the reputation of vaccines than children's health.
Thanks again for turning me onto the 2004 study.

The problem is the calculations themselves and the idea that layperson napkin math is uncovering some "truth" hidden by trusted sources, or an "error" in their reporting. It's the attempt at synthesis of new information with no education background that makes Vaxfact itself a site of misinformation, which is supposed to be its antithesis.

>The information I provided is not wrong
You've repeatedly said nonsensical and incorrect statements as well as ludicrous conclusions from otherwise innocuous sources. Some of your links are fine. Your ability to interpret them is supremely bad.
>This proves that the measles outbreak was in part caused by the vaccine.
It proves you don't know how to read. The outbreak in California was caused by the Phillipines strain as already referenced. What the paper you *just* referenced is talking about is the ability to discriminate between vaccine measles strains and pathogenic measles strains. Your source goes on to say:
>>Since approximately 5% of recipients of measles virus-containing vaccine experience rash and fever which may be indistinguishable from measles (9), it is very important to identify vaccine reactions to avoid unnecessary isolation of the patient, as well as the need for contact tracing and other labor-intensive public health interventions.
And the part you liked to leave out, because you are dishonest and in over your head:
>>Of the 194 measles virus sequences obtained in the United States in 2015, 73 were identified as vaccine sequences (R. J. McNall, unpublished data).
>>Genotyping is used to confirm the origin of an outbreak and to exclude endemic circulation, but it is also the only way to distinguish vaccine strains from wild-type viruses.
Those recent vaccinees were not infected with measles. They simply had a relatively common reaction to the vaccination and, due to proximity (locale and time) with an actual measles outbreak, were initial false-positives.
>McNall contradicts that by explaining that vaccine strain reaction (rash & fever) is clinically indistinguishable from the natural disease.
No they don't. How else, then, can the PCR test distinguish them if they are indistinguishable? How else, then, do public health authorities justify quarantine for those with measles rather than vaccination reactions? You know, like McNall says here:
>>During measles outbreak investigations, rapid detection of measles vaccine reactions is necessary to avoid unnecessary public health interventions.
And also in **the first line of the paper**:
>>During measles outbreaks, it is important to be able to rapidly distinguish between measles cases and vaccine reactions to avoid unnecessary outbreak response measures such as case isolation and contact investigations.
>and CDC stating that the reaction of vaccine strain and wild strain is identical
They don't. Even in *your source* they are clearly distinguishable. The measles component is twice attenuated and not pathogenic. It can cause a rash and fever. It does not cause CNS damage, immune repertoire depletion, or SSPE--hallmarks of pathogenic measles.
>Also, thank you for showing me the 2004 Thimerosal study. You've uncovered something interesting.
Wait, you mean the study that was only accessed by FOIA and was buried by the CDC, never to be released to the public? Yeah, imagine that...
>The 1999 study
Except it's a pilot study given a presentation. It wasn't a paper yet. Further data collection resulted in a complete study, published in 2004.
>Oddly, the 2004 continuation study is the exact opposite. Titled Safety of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines: A Two-Phased Study of Computerized Health Maintenance Organization Databases.
More data can do that. Weird how sample sizes work?
>In this "Phase II" study, they've re-analyzed the Phase I data and suddenly found no increased risks for autism or attention-deficit disorder.
Yep. Bigger sample size.
>Conclusions. No consistent significant associations were found between TCVs and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Conflicting results were found at different HMOs for certain outcomes. For resolving the conflicting findings, studies with uniform neurodevelopmental assessments of children with a range of cumulative thimerosal exposures are needed.
Next question for ya: what was the follow up result? Spoiler: you're going to be disappointed.
>I have a feeling that you regard everything the CDC reports as unquestionably true
Your feelings seem to be based on nothing but nonsense, as evidenced by the complete 180s you've been doing this whole conversation.
>In 1999, CDC conducted their study, found incredibly concerning data, and instead of making it public, they decided not to publish.
They published that study...you just "read" it. And by "read" of course we mean you skimmed the abstract.
>In 2004, they published the continuation study that suddenly found that thimerosal was safe all along.
Oh, OK. That and, I suppose, FDA testing showing ethylmercury doesn't have the safety profile it was assumed to have (i.e. worse than methylmercury). Read the testimony to congress. The concern was that ethylmercury was expected to be *worse* than methylmercury. And, lo and behold, it's not.
Anything else? Anything you've maybe actually read?

Basically nothing.
>Autoimmunity to the central nervous system (CNS), especially to myelin basic protein (MBP), may play a causal role in autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder.
According to no-one. Interesting hyothesis, but autimmunity to MBP is called multiple sclerosis. If these children had reactivity to it, they would have multiple sclerosis.
>Because many autistic children harbor elevated levels of measles antibodies, we conducted a serological study of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and MBP autoantibodies.
Nonsensical reason. Literally makes no sense.
>Furthermore, over 90% of MMR antibody-positive autistic sera were also positive for MBP autoantibodies, suggesting a strong association between MMR and CNS autoimmunity in autism.
Not really. These children don't have MS.
>Stemming from this evidence, we suggest that an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles component thereof, might be related to pathogenesis of autism.
Great, then test that dumb hypothesis if you want.

Turns out hg is used to measure the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height at the standard acceleration of gravity. I live in south america so I dont know much about these types of measurements, so yeah, if that helps or if you know how to use hg against % of mercury please tell me, then I will be able to transfer it and tell you the comparison between mercury in food and mercury in vaccines.

I’m still looking for the hg in vaccines, but I found a site with the hg in food. Here is the quotation and here is a link to the site.
“Statewide average Hg concentrations in ppb were milk, 0.8; eggs, 12; beef muscle, 5; beef liver, 10; pork muscle, 11; pork liver, 15; head hair, 1708; soil, 30; rainwater and well water, less than one”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/1190840/
As for the hg in vaccines for comparison, I’m looking it up. When I find it I’ll send it to you

You said there's more mercury in what I eat every day than in a vaccine. I don't eat tuna every day. So would you like to change your statment to "There's mercury in tuna." or are you sticking with "There's more mercury in what I eat everyday than vaccines."?

Good. But lets say your statement holds, which I think it probably does- does it make sense to say it's the same when one is going through your digestive tract and the other is going directly into your blood? Definitely not, so it's a false equivalency isn't it.

I really can’t imagine you’d have any other point given anti-vaccine propagandists never bring up mercury unless it’s to talk about how it’s toxic in vaccines. But have fun in your echo chamber.

If your point is that the thimerosal content is too toxic to be in vaccines, that’s just not true. There are hundreds of studies proving it breaks down just fine in the human body barring allergic reaction.
Unless you have a peer reviewed medical study claiming otherwise. But I doubt it.
