Putting mercury in childhood vaccines was a fairly dumb idea in the first place. It sounds, based on common sense, like it might not be entirely safe, and it's obviously going to make people worry and maybe distrust vaccination. I'm glad they've taken it out, since it isn't necessary.
It's still used in parts of the world where it is difficult to keep vaccines cold. That's a bit of a judgment call. Reasonable people may disagree. But it is not a conspiracy to inflict an epidemic of autism on the poor children of the world. Nor to harm them in any other way. Nor is there the least evidence that it has done so.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.
