Well, I certainly would not define mercury as safe for human consumption, whether through vaccines, fillings or anything else. It is one of the most poisonous substances on the planet. It has such a coloured history as well (remember teething remedies and pink disease?).
I am aware that all drugs have side-effects and I have taken medications that have caused side-effects, knowing that they probably would cause that, but they simply cannot ethically say they think that the fillings are safe in pregnant women when they admitted they don't have the data. They should only let persons of 6 years and older have them (if they want) until they HAVE got data that shows it's okay in that group. It is a really casual attitude to take with people's health, especially with unborn babies whose blood/brain barrier is not properly formed. We are supposed to do everything we can to avoid toxic exposures in our babies. It seems a bit mad to warn mothers not to clean up cat mess in case their babies become blind but then say yes, go on and put mercury in your mouth.
