The Absurd GOP

[Rev. Rye]

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.

And you think quality control can get so horrible that they can put preservatives in the vaccines in concentrations that would be hundreds of times higher than usual, do it so consistently that it can lead to a massive outbreak in a developmental disorder, and hush it up so effectively that there's still plausible deniability even as rates go up?

And, if we're taking into account actual events, manage to fuck up so badly that even when the supposed agent in this is removed (and, out of an abundance of caution, thimerosal hasn't been in any vaccines except some flu shots since 2001), rates of autism diagnoses still go up?
