re: #133 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Whenever I get a flu shot, I always ask for extra mercury. It usually gets a laugh.

From Wikipedia:

Vaccines with trace amounts of thiomersal (thimerosal) contain 1 microgram or less of mercury per dose, less than 2.5% of the intake of mercury considered tolerable per day by the WHO.[7][8]

In other words, Dan Bidondi could get several flu shots in one day, and still be below recommended Hg levels. He’d probably get more mercury eating a tuna sandwich.
