Is Thimerosal in Flu Vaccines Safe? Prof. Retsef Levi and Dr. Robert Malone Explain

Professor Retsef Levi explains his perspective on thimerosal (mercury) in influenza vaccines:

"If you just think about a one-time vaccine, you could argue that the amount of mercury in a single dose of a single vaccine is probably small. And you could argue potentially that it poses no significant risks.

The problem is that you don't take one shot. You take, actually, a shot every year, and moreover, you are actually being exposed to mercury from other sources in your life - from food, from fish, & from other sources.

So, when you want to consider risk here, you need to adopt a system-level kind of thinking and really think about not only this isolated episode, but rather what is the overall contribution to the overall risk, to the overall exposure. And if you do that, given the fact that mercury is a highly toxic compound - nobody debates that - and it accumulates in the body, I think it's going to be sensible, at least in my mind, to say that if we can eliminate some controllable sources of mercury, we should do that."
