Vaccines have been proven numerous times in court to cause mercury poisoning and autism. N u m e r o u s. Google it.

yo i fucking study health science for a living so you’re about to get some science on your ignorant ass

1. Vaccines cause mercury poisoning? what you’re referring to is called the Thiomersal Controversy and has been extensively discussed in sceintific circles. Thiomersal was an organomercury compound that has since been phased out of production of vaccines for small children because of baseless public fear. Thiomersal originally made its way into vaccines in the early 1930s and has performed well in practice and posed toxicity so low as to be considered negligible. Mercury, like all chemical compounds, acts differently upon being bonded with differing elements. The notoriety that mercury has in today’s society stems from the mercury poisonings that resulted from children playing the element in mercury thermometers, but what many do not know is that is a different form of mercury than was used in vaccines. Ethylmercury is found in vaccines and has been proven by testing to be significantly less toxic than methylmercury (in fact in one study, five daily doses of ethylmercury in lab rats for 190 days produced no significant changes in the rats). So unfortunately, you’re wrong on the mercury poisoning front. (source, source, source)
2. Vaccines cause autism? This is honestly the one that gets me most riled up. First, here are a million and half scientific articles that are easily at your disposal that show that there is really no scientific basis between the correlation of children having autism and children being vaccinated. And second, autism is not some horrible, life-shattering disease that needs cured. First of all, there is a whole spectrum of autism and autism-related disorders, so making generalizations about it really is impossible. However, people with autism are amazing and wonderful and though it may take some time to adjust to interacting with people with autism in a social setting, they are no less of a person just because you don’t know how to treat them like one. I can’t speak on this without getting emotional and angry, so I’m just going to leave you with this. Why is it do you think that you believe your child having autism is worse than them dying from a completely preventable disease?
3. HERD IMMUNITY IS AMAZING AND SOMETHING WE AS A POPULATION NEED SO VACCINATE YOUR DAMN CHILDREN (link). Honestly, it’s so important that it’s one of the first things that health science majors learn about and any person who has ever spent time in the health sciences fields will bring it up almost immediately in discussions about vaccines. 

So to sum all of this information up, you are an ignorant person who cares more about promoting your fear-mongering agenda than actually protecting your children.
