although I would hardly call a neurotoxin like mercury or aluminum safe to inject into humans or animals

Everything has a safe dosage, just like everything has a lethal dosage. Without exception, toxicity is dose-dependent.

especially into a newborn with an undeveloped immune system.

Immune systems have absolutely nothing to do with heavy metal poisoning.

Mercury is that stuff in thermometers,

And chlorine is the stuff they sprayed on battlefields in WWI to blind and kill soldiers, which warranted full-face respirators to keep them safe from its brutally toxic effects. And yet there's some in the table salt we eat every day and that's perfectly fine (and, in fact, necessary for normal bodily function).

Combining an element into a molecule or compound changes its properties, often very dramatically. Toxicity is one of those properties. Chlorine gas is extremely toxic, but chloride ions are quite harmless (again, in sub-toxic doses, but the lethal dosage for chloride is far, far higher than that for chlorine gas). Elemental mercury is neurotoxic, but incorporate it into other compounds and that toxicity changes (mostly based on how readily the mercury ions can dissociate from the parent compound under physiological conditions). This is simply how chemistry works.

The vaccine would most likely contain COVID-19 like other vaccines contain strains of live virus,

Live virus vaccines are pretty rare. The worst you're likely to see are ones with dead viruses in them, but more commonly you'll just get a soup of the virus' surface antigens with no intact viral particles in it.
