Mercury (or rather the derivative used) is present in an amount less than 1.25mcg in a single dose (5ml) vaccine.

A lethal dose for mercury for an adult is 1 to 4 grams (g) or 14 to 57 milligrams per kilogram body weight (mg/kg) for a 70-kg person.
So at the lowest concentration of 1 gram per kg, that's 980mg needed to be lethal for a 70kg person. That means you'd need 980,000 micrograms... the shot will only give you 1.25 micrograms. 1% per your "1% will make you sick" formula is 9,800mcg, which means you'd have to get the shot 7,840 times to cumulatively get up to just 1% of the lowest known lethal dose for a human.
Formaldehyde is present in an amount of less than or equal to 50mcg per dose.
Here's putting that into perspective for you:
Quote:
Formaldehyde is the most common aldehyde in the environment. The natural background concentration is < 1 µg/m3 with a mean of about 0.5 µg/m3 (2).
In urban environments, outdoor air concentrations are more variable and depend on local conditions; annual averages are usually between 1 and 20 µg/m3. Short-term peaks, e.g. in heavy traffic or during severe inversions, can range up to 100 µg/m3 (1, 2). The levels of formaldehyde in indoor air are often higher than those in outdoor air. Major sources of formaldehyde in some dwellings are off-gassing of urea–formaldehyde foam insulation, particle board and formaldehyde-based resins. In the early 1980s, mean levels of 490 µg/m3 were measured in mobile homes, with individual measurements as high as several mg/m3 in new mobile homes (2, 3). Now formaldehyde levels in mobile homes are typically around 100 µg/m3 or less (2). Mean levels in conventional homes with no urea–formaldehyde foam insulation range from 25 to 60 µg/m3 (2).

So the average is between 1 and 20 µg (often written as mcg for micrograms) per cubic meter of air. You get one shot with 50mcg in it, once per year. The average adult breathes 12 to 20 times per minute. How much do you think you're breathing in, on an average day?
I'm sorry to completely fuck over your bullshit conspiracy-theory assertions with facts. Facts will do that, though.
