Is the mercury in vaccines tiny? is it less than the amount you get eating fish?

Yes: With the exception of certain types of flu vaccine all the vaccines we use are mercury free. 1 can of tuna contains more mercury than 30 flu vaccines.

Yes: The form of mercury is also one never proven toxic to humans. Its human effect is similar to the difference seen in alcohols. Methyl alcohol is so toxic a tablespoonful will kill you (if ingested), while ethanol can be taken in rater large quantities & just get you drunk.
