There's also mercury in vaccines. But thanks to the miracle of chemistry, you're safe. Just like the chlorine in salt doesn't kill you.

- cyphar 6y agoMercury (or rather, Thiomersal) hasn't been used in the vast majority of vaccines since the 90s. It was completely safe as far as we know, but was removed as a precautionary measure during a push to remove all sources of mercury from food and drugs.
- pmiller2 6y agoYou're using a bad argument. Dental amalgam literally contains elemental mercury: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_(dentistry)#Composition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_(dentistry)#Compositio... That alone is cause for concern, although it does not mean it's necessarily dangerous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_amalgam_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_amalgam_controversy
