I would like to know how you know this. My minimal research, after throwing out resources that seemed a bit too much like conspiracy theorists and also resources that seemed a bit too trusting, was still inconclusive.
Of course now I can't find the sort-of negative-sounding ones. Basically the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/thimerosal.htm) says "Thimerosal contains approximately 49% ethylmercury. There is no convincing evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site."
And the part about less (but still some!) mercury getting into the brain with the newer compound than with the older (methylmercury) compound is less relevant than I thought because the amount stored in the brain decreases in time, just like the amount stored in the blood does.
