The amount used in vaccines became an issue when such wise institutions as the AMA and WHO recommended increasing the number of vaccines infants and children received in the early 90s, and thereby increased their exposure to mercury.

Many substances are toxic at various levels. It's not as simple as saying 'yes' or 'no'. It's not according to 'me', it's according to a worldwide consortium of respected, educated and diligent doctors and researchers who have performed studies under strict conditions to evaluate toxicity, side effects, safety, etc.
In Canada, thimerosal is only used in a very select few vaccines. Many infant and children's vaccines do not contain any thimerosal at all.
