You can request single dose, thimerosal-free vaccines. They usually cost more though. I went from 1976 to 1991 (Desert Storm) without any vaccines.
Since then I've had ZERO. I refuse them all.
The amount of mercury in thmerosal preservatives is too small to have any health effects, despite popular mythology.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
