No need to do more research, the Healthcare/Marxism complexes record of exposing people to dangerous heavy metals such as mercury via vaccines is very well documented. Perhaps rather than following the propaganda it is you who should do more research.

Do more research, disgusted. There are vaccines guaranteed to have no mercury or all the other "scary" things people use as excuses. Fine if you want to be ill but at least don't expose those around you and certainly don't feed misinformation to others.

I'll pass on the mercury-laden filth injection, thanks much.
