Vaccine skeptics — including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — have long tied thimerosal in vaccines to autism, despite numerous studies finding no evidence to support that claim.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has signed off on a recommendation to remove thimerosal from all influenza vaccines, even though numerous studies have found no evidence the mercury-based preservative is harmful.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted at their June meeting that all children, pregnant women, and adults should only receive single-dose flu vaccines that are free of mercury.
The vote came following a presentation by the leader of an anti-vaccine group that was founded by Kennedy.

"After more than two decades of delay, this action fulfills a long-overdue promise to protect our most vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure,” Kennedy said in a statement. “Injecting any amount of mercury into children when safe, mercury-free alternatives exist defies common sense and public health responsibility. Today, we put safety first.”
Anti-vaccine groups — and Kennedy — have long tied thimerosal in vaccines to autism. However, study after study has found no evidence to support that claim, or that it is linked to any other harm.

According to the CDC website, there is "no evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site."

I thought they got rid of thimerosal years ago.
This guy is such a hero.
Adjuvants are a legitimate reason to be concerned about vaccines.
When I worked for veterinarians they refused vaccines with thimerasol.
thank God.
Thimersol was removed from all children’s flu vaccines, and adult single dose vaccines. It was still in multi-dose. Multi-dose is where you are dosing many people from one vial, like in a school or military base where they are doing hundreds of people at once. You’d be getting single dose vial at the Dr office, pharmacy, etc where you walk in and get it.
Guess that.s a good thing.
I got a flu vax about 35 years ago and then caught the flu. No vax since and no flu. No covid vax either, my MD said I didn’t need one.
I’ve lived here 15 years. Had a cold once about 7 years ago, fixed with OTC Mucinex and antihistamine.
Prevention rocks. Take Vitamin C daily and have for decades.
Get rid of aluminum too, its also in vaccines. Having mercury in anything is no good it all needs to be taken out
Studies funded and run by whom?
Mostly, yes, but apparently not all.
Studies funded and run by whom?
*******
Don’t worry about the background. Take it as
gospel and get vaxed up as much as you can.
The problem is the cumulative affect of thimerosal from so many childhood vaccines recommended for infants and minor children; its not about a single isolated dose. Its like sugar is not unhealthy, but excessive consumption of sugar is.
My first guess...
Lawyers!
Big pharma, the producers of the *vaccines*.
