A federal vaccine panel, recently reshaped by the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voted to discourage the use of flu vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative. The decision marks a dramatic shift in vaccine policy, as thimerosal has long been considered safe by health agencies worldwide, with its use already limited to a few multi-dose flu shots.
RFK Jr. has long linked thimerosal to autism – a connection that extensive scientific research has thoroughly debunked.
