33. That stuff about thimerosal has been debunked repeatedly.

Here's just one article that debunks this: https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/health/thimerosal-vaccine-preservative-explainer/index.html

I could probably find a dozen more, but it's late and I'm tired. They pretty much all say the same thing anyway. I will just add that outside the antivax community, RFK Jr. is widely regarded as a dangerous crackpot, and he doesn't have a lot of fans here at DU, as this thread will show: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217842848

P.S. Science is real, and vaccines save lives.

EDITED TO ADD: Whether RFK Jr. identifies as an antivaxxer is completely irrelevant. I was describing how others see him, and that IS how most people outside the antivax community who are aware of his antivaccine activism see him. He can call himself a purple cow for all I care. Or a purple giraffe.
