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.)
