Livre d'Or

That's beautiful, thank you. Sorry for being pushy on that; I believed your statement but the problem is that I'm already convinced, so I wanted more evidence to be able to show to my worried friends. The Green Book is a really useful source. Apart from the clear data about the extremely low rates of anaphylaxis and the zero fatality over a long time period from that cause, it also notes that no routinely used vaccines in the UK even contain thiomersal. So whether or not I can convince my friends that thiomersal is safe, they may be reassured to know that it's a non-issue because their child will not in fact be exposed to it. Cool.

The thing is that these people are not anti-vaxxing parents. They've just read a bunch of scare-mongering information put out by the morally bankrupt anti-vax movement, and I need a way to debunk that. I need to break out of the cycle of just stating that the anti-vax talking points are made up by people with a profit motive, because the anti-vax crowd will equally well say that the scientific consensus I'm relying on is if not outright made up at least corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry who also have a profit motive.
