on a submission from this blog:

> > It appears you've made some sort of resolution to publish and promote a blog entry per day in 2013. 40 entries in 41 days this year vs. 46 in all of 2012. You should reconsider - whatever your reasons were, I doubt they included a desire to develop a reputation for presenting topics that were sensationalized and thinly researched [1] produced with a pace that ensures discredited theories dont get reviewed.

Good catch. I had this feed in my list of subscriptions up until a couple of weeks ago when it just went off the rails. I guess now I know why.

There's much less mercury in a single vaccine dose than in the average can of tuna.

Almost every kid eats many magnatudes more mercury in their food than thy get in all the vaccines they get in their entire life. And this food-sourced mercury compounds are usually MUCH more toxic versions than the kind in vaccines.

But then again when someone says "Speaking for myself, I would never knowingly give a child of mine a vaccine containing mercury, even if there were no links to autism" then it's clear they're an idiot to begin with.
