I forget who originally said it, but as the saying goes, "the dose makes the poison".

Most of the things you listed are present in vaccines, but only a tiny fraction of the amount already in your bloodstream (formaldehyde, aluminum, mercury), or amounts too small to possibly be harmful (phenol).

Thimerosal breaks down into ethylmercury, which is way less toxic (on the order of 1/1000th) as methylmercury, the common pollutant that you have to worry about when you eat fish. It can cause brain injury, but not autism.

I don't know much about the specific antibiotics you mentioned, other than to say there is a good reason the person administering the vaccine asks you if you have any allergies, and gives you some symptoms to watch out for. This is one of the (few) real risks of vaccinating, but long-term harm is extraordinarily rare. Much more rare than potential long-term complications of the flu.

No vaccine contains ethylene glycol (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/index.html#appendi...). I've never read the definitive explanation for how this myth started, perhaps because the name sounds similar to other chemicals used in vaccines. However its repetition is a pretty clear signal that the source you're reading is repeating something without verification, or willfully ignoring the facts when it's convenient to their point.
