The hypothesis that Thimerosal is toxic to humans has been largely disproven.
The source of this silly idea that vaccines are bad came when Andrew Wakefield published a study claiming the MMR vaccine caused autism. Alas, at the time he didn't disclose that he had a competing vaccine that he was unable to sell because the MMR vaccine was so effective.
However, people latched on to his study and now he were are 20 years latter with this faulty idea that vaccines are hurting people.
