Yes, three things that have been debunked.

  Even if it has been debunked, the fact that thimerosal is banned in california, and being phased out just legitimizes the fear. Then California temporarily unbans it for the H1N1 vaccine. How does that make arguments towards its safety sound? It merely makes it seem as if the dangers of H1N1 for this case outweighs the suggested risk of thimerosal.

    Well, that's exactly right. The (real) dangers of the flu are greater than the imaginary dangers of thimerosal. Since the anti-vax folks seem to love anecdotes: my entire father's side of my family has used thimerosal topically to treat cuts and wounds -- under its trade name Merthiolate -- for a very very long time, at least since my father was very young. There have been no ill side effects. Other than insanity. (I kid, I kid. Maybe.)
