Incorrect. There's no evidence thimerosol is dangerous, but removing it can make vaccines more dangerous, because less effective preservatives are used.

And they still recommend that same flu shot for pregnant women and babies; what if it's not one of the "safest" for that demographic?

Not at all interested in "what if's". Prefer evidence.

Assessing relative risk is important. But they have to be willing to honestly assess it.

You have the intelligence, but not the education or background to determine if they do.

How many of those were already severely sick with something else? How many of those were actually vaccinated against the flu, but ended up with a different strain anyway?

Cut those numbers in half and we still have a good case. If you want to double or quadruple those numbers or more, tell people the flu vaccine will permanently fuck them up.

Oh, you did! Well aim high.
