Aluminum being the third most common element on earth....you breathe in more than what is found in a vaccine....you have daily exposure to the stuff...literally. In fact, IIRC, the amount of aluminum found in a vaccine is less than that found in breast milk.
My point being...I could say that something is "toxic" simply because it has oxygen in it....because oxygen in large amounts is poisonous. It's more about the quantity than the substance itself in this case...and the amount of aluminum in a vaccine, as already addressed, is completely safe.
funny you mention thalidomide after complaining how we have stopped testing on animals.

Your very funny you know.
I'm quiite sure the guy who thought it would be a good idea to use Thalidomide for pregnant women had a sense of humor as good as you...
Work as usual, he probably said...

That's an interesting way to frame the evidence-based counterpoints to speculative, unsourced and often downright incorrect claims posted here by scientifically illiterate people so far down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory that then no longer rely on evidence and reason to come to their conclusions.
You position is very accusatory as if you feel that every person on the planet that is involved in government and in science, is involved in some grand conspiracy. And this despite the fact offered in earnest that an investigation into such a possibility would take not days but hours under the same laboratory condition on can access in high school if one is so inclined.
I know of a Neurosurgeon who operated on the wrong side of the brain because the X-ray just prior to the procedure had been inverted as so incorrectly displayed.

Many doctors and health‐care practitioners do not get vaccinated and do not vaccinate their children. Why not?
• They know vaccines are not proven to be safe or effective.
• They know vaccines contain dangerous substances.
• They know vaccines cause serious health problems.
• They have treated patients with serious side effects from vaccines.

A survey of general practitioners published on Healthcare Republic, the website of GP magazine, found that up to 60% of GPs may decline vaccination. A much bigger survey of nurses published a week ago by Nursing Times found that a third of 1,500 nurses would refuse vaccination. But the biggest problem in persuading people and healthcare professionals to have the jab may be the relative shortage of evidence from trials about its safety and efficacy.

Protecting Their Own: The Unofficial Vaccination Policy of Doctors in the Know
I recently reconnected with a mainstream doctor affiliated with a large hospital and a thriving practice in the midwest. These were his words as they were spoken to me. For the purpose of protecting his anonymity I will refer to him as "The Doctor."
"You do not question vaccines openly. It's not done. I know I sound ridiculous here but it's like Nazi Germany. Really, I know it sounds silly. I mean, in our own groups, of course, we question vaccines all the time, among ourselves, but you never ever say it openly. You have to understand, doctors are scientists. We pride ourselves on our knowledge. You just don't question, they look at you like you're crazy.
I have to tell you to vaccinate because if I don't and your kid gets sick, I get sued. I am legally responsible. My partners are always telling me, "You make them vaccinate on schedule or they are out." You know you could get in a lot of trouble for not vaccinating yourself--you know that though--you have a medical background." Link

Doesn't surprise me. My oncologist just smirks and gives me the "crazy conspiracy person" look when I refuse vaccines and flu shot.
Considering the fact that many MD's themselves refuse to get vaccinated, he can stick that smirk where the sun don't shine...
IF these were in fact safe, WHY are the MD's themselves refusing them to be used on there OWN families?

not really, you know the people here are in general just people, what iv found is the following during my few years of membership
1) someone makes a claim.
2) people who are actually scientists look at the claim and say, where is the evidence?
3) OP cites no evidence other than confirmation bias and anicdote (friends of friends, 'they' , people i know)
4) people say "well we went out and did some research and we find x
5) OP claims people are just idiots and that OP is onto something
6) someone who actually works in the field of science under-discussion sometimes appears, now, this is the internet and we have to be careful but still... person gives opinion
7) Expert opinion does not fit confirmation bias of OP, THUS, is incorrect, OP and possibly supporters of the same, come out and cry regarding "People need to think outside the box, anyone who thinks outside the box is correct, and anyone inside the box is just a mindless shill"
8) People remind OP and followers of where the box is, and invites OP to take a look inside
9) OP refuses... debate dies
10) OP and followers claim debate is stifled by people
Happens all the time! regardless of subject... sometimes we get good discussions and people actually learn a little about reality... othertimes people just want to preach and have people nod "yes yes" at them... if we are to deny ignorance, we are, by definition in the science and technology area... required to do research on the subject matter and try to drop confirmation bias and identify it when it arises.

I know of a heart procedure where the Cardiologist failed to observe the way the patient had been placed onto the operating table. At the time he was busy answering a phone call and despite this may seem irrelevant to the layman. When the opened up the chest of this patient they shredded that persons heart.
