I agree it wasn't the vaccines per se, BUT the fact that thimerisol was used for so long as a preservative in vaccines could be a factor.
Oh man, fuck off with that shit, I hope you are kidding.
Thimerosal does metabolize to ethyl mercury in the body, which can't actually be good for you.
I know that they say it's safe in the amounts they use, but they took it out of most childhood vaccines anyway.
It is still in some multi-dose influenza vaccines, like the ones used at flu shot clinics.
For an adult like me, I figure that tiny amount of thimerosal once a year does not make that much diference, but for my daughter I have requested the thimerosal-free influenza vaccine when it has been available. I would get her a flu shot even if it did contain thimerosal, because the chance of her becoming seriously ill from influenza is greater than the increased risk of the small amount of thimerosal in the vaccine, given her medical history.
