Not via mercury... but via Alum...

" Aluminium oxyhydroxide...has been used in vaccines for its immunological

adjuvant effect since 1927. Alum is the most commonly used adjuvant in human and

veterinary vaccines, but the mechanisms by which it stimulates immune responses

remain incompletely understood. Although generally well tolerated, alum may

occasionally cause disabling health problems in presumably susceptible

individuals. A small proportion of vaccinated people present with delayed onset

of diffuse myalgia, chronic fatigue and cognitive dysfunction, and exhibit very

long-term persistence of alum-loaded macrophages at the site of previous

intramuscular (i.m.) immunization, forming a granulomatous lesion called

macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF). Clinical symptoms associated with MMF are

paradigmatic of the recently delineated 'autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome

induced by adjuvants' (ASIA). "
