However it's unfortunately easy to find sham "doctors" that will diagnose whatever the patient requests - mercury poisoning, EBV, chronic lyme disease, just pay in full and all your beliefs will be confirmed! Just don't look too closely at the placebo, er, cure...
The distinction I'm making is that I am pretty sure low level mercury is not an issue like lead from gasoline, although I can imagine evidence that would change my mind. If it was, we should be able to see blatant differences in large populations, just like we see with lead and violent crime.
It's all kind of moot though because mercury is no longer in child-hood vaccines. I really don't see the point in bringing the discussion of vaccinations into this since almost no one can have a rational discussion about them.
