You can request vaccines that do not contain thermiserol.
The bigger picture is that vaccines work.
Those who wish to not vaccinate their children want to return to the dark ages. Measles, mumps, polio have all been essentially eliminated from society. Yet now we have people who wish them to return.
I do believe that you are entitled to your opinion, however, please find a community to live in that shares your beliefs. That way you won't be inflecting your diseased children on people who don't share your beliefs.

Vaccines are not 100% effective. They do work when someone is exposed to a low dose of something. However, if you have someone with mumps sneeze in your face, you get a massive dose. Then, your immune system can become overwhelmed and you get the mumps.
So, if you have a classroom of 30 children, and 27 of them are vaccinated, you basically have herd immunity. That also protects the 3 not vaccinated children. This works as long as you don't have a mumps infected child enter the classroom and expose all the children.
If you are really curious, talk to your physician about how vaccinations work. I am not a doctor and what i have just written is based on a conversation that I had with a physician about 37 years ago

Me, I'm looking forward to a time when all the virology and epidemiology and molecular biology experts go back to being constitutional scholars.

oh please really ? You are blatantly using a stereotype that liberals love to use against conservatives. Who says anti vax ers are even conservative... how about Jim Carey’s ex?
Thiomersal. I asked no question about Thiomersal. I did ask how many anti-vaxxers also have tatoos.
This isn’t about people who don’t vaccinate their kids. There is a point when excessive vaccination is not a sane thing to do. There has been plenty of research into the effects of too many vaccines too early in life ... autism, adhd and even death. Do your due diligence in research at least.

it is with out doubt that vaccination has saved millions of people from early death over the last 100 years. I suppose those who either don't vaccinate there kids, or inject disinfectant are going for a darwin award. I am in two minds on whether this is a good thing.
Natural de selection by misadventure is a thing.
We are not talking about washing babies in freezing streams. I remember a story about a woman who put her baby into a microwave oven to warm up the child in the winter.

If an ignorant mother washes her child in a freezing stream and it dies, is she guilty ?
If other peoples children die, what then ?
medicine is certainly a risk/benefit thing that people make for them selves.
When it comes to things like smallpox and polio and measles etc. this information is not typically in the domain of mother's intuition.

Simply espousing the decades of lies about vaccine safety is the mental gymnastics I speak of.
You act as though they are proven safe, even though the vaccine industry is insulated from liability?
Children are healthier now then ever?
The idea that the information you believe to be true regarding the safety and efficacy of the chemical cocktail that is being injected into children is disturbing.
Fact is, thimerosal and formaldehyde are used as disinfectants. They are also injected into people. Defend it all you want, you are still pro-injecting disinfectants, you have simply been convinced it is safe and are defending it, just needs to be a small enough dosage.
