Yes, and what's your point, Ding-Dong? How does the fact that it's easy to produce something like Thimerosal impact what I have to say about its lowest lethal dose and the comparatively miniscule amount put into vaccines?
"Easy to produce" in regards to mass manufacturing has a fairly, though not universal, unspoken implication - "Reduction in quality."
It means it's no longer produced by craftsmen but by casual laborers - you get increasingly less competent, easily replaceable employees to do the same amount of work in less time; even if they make more mistakes you have to throw out, they outproduce the loses and provide a net gain.
Logical conclusion - batches containing unsafe amounts of mercury will be produced.
This is not a problem assuming your government doesn't take billions of dollars in bribes (I'm sorry, "lobby dollars") from the pharmaceutical companies or any of the third-party distribution systems and can catch these cases before some greedy snob in a suit decides that pushing out *possibly* contaminated doses isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of millions of dollars.
This is not hypothetical; it happens fairly frequently as well as is why we prohibit certain seasonings and ingredients from being used restaurant and culinary institutions, and I truly don't believe I have to tell anyone how much money the medical industry pours into our government.
