The report, called "Thimerosal as a Vaccine Preservative" published on the #CDC website on Tues, is to be presented by Lyn Redwood, a fmr leader of the #AntiVaccine group Children's Health Defense.https://www.cdc.gov/acip/downloads/slides-2025-06-25-26/05-influenza-redwood-508.pdfIt makes reference to a study called "Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long-term consequences in the brain," published in the journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, & co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.#Trump #RFKJr #AI #HHS #science #medicine

But acc/to Berman, "it's not making reference to a study I published or carried out."Berman said he co-authored a similarly named study in a different journal - Toxicological Sciences - that came to different conclusions than those suggested by Redwood."We did not examine the effects of thimerosal in microglia... I do not endorse this misrepresentation of the research," he said.Reuters is the first to report on the inaccurate citation from Redwood's planned presentation.#Trump #RFKJr #AI

The meeting has become increasingly controversial after *#Health* Secretary #RFKJr just weeks ago abruptly fired all previous 17 members of the expert panel & named 8 new members, half of whom have advocated against #vaccines.Kennedy, a long-time #AntiVaccine activist, founded the Children's Health Defense.#Trump #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy

Both #Republican US Senator #BillCassidy of Louisiana & #Democratic US Senator #PattyMurray of Washington said the June 25 & 26 meeting should be postponed.The summary of the presentation suggested that there are enough thimerosal-free #flu #vaccines & that all #pregnant #women, #infants & #children should receive only those shots. It was not clear if the new advisory panel would be asked to vote on such a move.#Trump #RFKJr #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy

Redwood's presentation was in contrast to a separate report posted by #CDC staff on the CDC website on Tuesday that says evidence does not support a link between thimerosal-containing #vaccines & #autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders.Kennedy has long pushed a link between vaccines & autism contrary to scientific evidence.#Trump #RFKJr #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy

Redwood could not be immediately reached for comment. An #HHS spox said the study being referenced was the Toxicological Sciences study Berman said was being misrepresented.The #CDC's briefing material reviewed some studies on neurodevelopmental outcomes & #vaccines that contain thimerosal, which has long been used in the US in multi-dose vials of medicines & vaccines to prevent germs from growing in them.#Trump #RFKJr #AI #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy

According to the #CDC report, 96% of all #influenza #vaccines in the #US were thimerosal free during the 2024-25 flu season. It also added that the number of pregnant women receiving a thimerosal-containing flu #vaccine has decreased over time, with only 0.3% of doses given in 2024 containing thimerosal.#RFKJr wrote a book in 2014 claiming that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, causes brain damage.#Trump #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy

On Monday, #BillCassidy, who heads the US #Senate Cmte on #Health, #Education, #Labor & Pensions, called for the meeting to be delayed, saying it should not take place with a relatively small panel & without a #CDC director in place.#PattyMurray, a senior member & fmr chair of the HELP Cmte, has also called for the fired panel members to be reinstated or the meeting be delayed until new members are appropriately vetted.#Trump #RFKJr #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy
