While some things may be okay and even beneficial in small quantities (like red wine for instance), mercury is one of the things that isn't. It just isn't, in any amount.
Check this out:
In addition to the multidose vaccines containing thimerosal discussed above, some companies offer a 0.5 mg/L single dose, pre-filled syringe vaccine. Some of these products are labeled “preservative- or thimerosal-free”. Preservative-free products may contain trace amounts (less than or equal to 1 microgram/0.5 mL dose) because thimerosal was used during the manufacturing process. The term preservative- or thimerosal-free can be utilized if the manufacturer further purified the product, leaving only trace amounts (less than or equal to 1 microgram/0.5 mL) per dose. Even at this level, calculations indicate mercury would exceed the TCLP standard; therefore these vaccines, if deemed unusable, should be managed as hazardous waste as well.'
So the supposedly thimerosal free vaccines have trace amounts high enough to be deemed 'hazardous waste', yet they're okay to be injected into a baby? This stuff is okay to put into a filling?
Thimerosal is not absent from pediatric vaccines, it's just been reduced. It's used in manufacturer and pretty much impossible to make vaccines without it and amounts of 3mcg or less are in many vaccines listed as thimerosal free. It's also in the Hep B vaccine (some brands) and flu vaccines in the full amount. They added it in, in 2004 after they said they were removing it for safety reasons. In the UK they also introduced an under 5's H1N1 vaccine program that later got scrapped, that contained the full amount of thimerosal (that was 2009) and they recommend thimerosal containing flu vaccines for pregnant women. Go figure.
Here's the CDC Pink Book that shows thimerosal in small amounts in thimerosal free vaccines:
And check out this Merck document that says 'inhalation, swallowing or absorption through the skin IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO HEALTH AND MAY EVEN BE LETHAL.'

As for the computer, yes, I agree it's bad. If I work too much (on the computer), I get headaches. I try to have breaks from it and my children are severely restricted from using computers. I only allow a certain amount of usage per week. I won't let them have mobile phones and interestingly if I use my mobile phone it triggers my auditary processing disorder. I can text on it but not put it to my ear to talk. The landline phone does not do this. I eat only organic food and will only give organic to my kids. I use only natural cleaners for the home (baking soda is good for cleaning too) and I travel on public transportation (less pollutive to the world and probably slightly safer, you hear about car accidents all the time but not so much about bus crashes) and if they try to mandate these full body radiation scanner things at airports I will be refusing.
I think electromagnetic pollution is a major issue and probably some of that may be causing autism too and I want to write something on that too.
