No. Thimerosol is a preservative often used in vaccines. TRACE amounts of Mercury are present, but far too little to be harmful.
Many people have refused to have their children vaccinated against common childhood diseases for fear that the minuscule amounts of mercury could cause autism; however, this fear is unfounded. The scientist who had been making this claim has now been discredited. Unfortunately, thousands of children have fallen ill to preventable diseases, and a few hundred have died.
The small amount of mercury present in thimerosal is in the form of ethylmercury unlike the kind found in tuna fish which is methylmercury. Unlike methylmercury, which is infamous for bioaccumulation, ethylmercury does not collect in your body the same way.
