Here's the actual study they're talking about

The initial and terminal half-life of Hg in blood after thimerosal exposure was 2.1 and 8.6 days, respectively, which are significantly shorter than the elimination half-life of Hg after MeHg exposure at 21.5 days. Brain concentrations of total Hg were significantly lower by approximately 3-fold for the thimerosal-exposed monkeys when compared with the MeHg infants, whereas the average brain-to-blood concentration ratio was slightly higher for the thimerosal-exposed monkeys (3.5 ± 0.5 vs. 2.5 ± 0.3) . A higher percentage of the total Hg in the brain was in the form of inorganic Hg for the thimerosal-exposed monkeys (34% vs. 7%) .

Now, allow me to translate that for you:
- The body gets rid of the mercury from thimerosal far faster than it gets rid of mercury ingested through food in the form of methylmercury.
-
Total mercury in the brain is far lower in the subjects treated with thimerosal than in the subjects fed methylmercury.
- Brain-to-blood ratio is higher in the thimerosal-exposed monkeys (meaning the rate of mercury in their blood is lower by an even larger margin).
- Thimerosal-exposed monkeys had a lower organic/inorganic relative rate of mercury in their brains compared to methylmercury-exposed monkeys.
Jesus, sticky. You just don't understand science, do you?
