5. Thimerosal contains mercury - no way is that good for our health.

And even if only a small percentage of vaccines still use it, the ideal % would be zero. Similar to mercury in dental fillings - amalgam is now being replaced by resin composites. Safer substitutes are available for both vaccines and fillings, so we should use them (apart from what you think of RFK Jr's other policies).
