It was removed in 1999. Yet people are still screaming about vaccines containing mercury. Wow.

Some conspiracy theories die a really hard death, people either not keeping up or scrambling to move the goalposts to keep the theory alive.

And it's not exposing infants to too many horrible toxins at a time. Kids get many more pathogens every time they pick something up off the ground and stick it in their mouths. Exposure to pathogens is what makes our immune systems work.
