Anti-Vaxxers are notorious for shifting goalposts faster than you can say mumps. They'll go on about mercury, and when you explain that chemical composites are not the same as pure elements, and then it's but thiomersal is poison, and then you say MMR doesn't have thiomersal it's " but but but too many too early" and so on - it's a cookie cutter shtick, because it's not actually about making an argument - anti vaxxers have zero intellectual standards - but about finding something - anything - to say to make the already accepted conclusion seems superficially viable without having to think.

Yeah well you're just in the pocket of Big Pharma.  And Big Atheism.

Would you believe that their shill bribe check is now 20 years late? Sometimes I really wonder why I'm still doing this...

given that the outbreak started in the town of Old Lyme (hence the name), which is 10 miles off the coast of plum island. home to the flea and tick disease research center (soon moving to kansas if it hasnt already). id say its pretty safe to assume that it came from there.

not to mention all the other f'd up things that washed ashore nearby.

...It has been for the last decade and a half.  Thimerosal was only ever present in trace amounts in the past anyway, and most childhood vaccines didn't use it to begin with, but 2001 was the last time any childhood vaccine had any thimerosal at all.

And how do you know that it is "definitely toxic in relatively low doses" and what is relatively low?

idc whats in the vaccine.

now and then* ? 

id say after 9/11 we can thank Krishna that we have good defense now.

been 15 years since that too. you damn atheists and your semantics.

...The hell does 9/11 have to do with vaccines?

And you seem to be missing most of what I typed. Thimerosal was never a large ingredient in vaccines and most never had any thimerosal to begin with. 2001 was just the last time any childhood vaccine had any at all.

you guys would still be theists if not for the advent of internet.

wow read retard. both are in 2001. decade and half. or 15 years ago. dont change the subject. i didnt.

So now that you have no more argument here, you just want to get angry at us for being atheists?
