Its similar to the RFKjr voodoo medicine bit, such as the tirade on how
supposedly deadly thimerosal is as a vaccine preservative, because it
has mercury in it
They base that on how we know that some seafood (swordfish, albacore
tuna) can cause some health problems in a segment of the population
because of the relatively slow rate that methylmercury is eliminated
from the body (half-life of 19 days).
But the claim's problem is that thimersol doesn't contain methylmercury.
If thimersol is present (it often isn't) it employs ethylmercury, a
different chemical compound; its half-life is just 3-7 days.
