(Reuters) -A review on the use of the preservative Thimerosal in Vaccines Sladd to Be Gifted on Thursday to the Us Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Outside Vaccine Committee Cites A Study That Exist, The Scientist Listed AS The Study’s Auto.
The Report, Called “Thimerosal As a Vaccine Preservative” Published on the CDC Website on Tuesday, is to be gift by Lyn Redwood, the Forere Leader of the Anti-Vacine Group Children’s Health Defense.
IT Makes Reference to a Study Called “Low-Level Neonatal Thimerosal Exposure: Long-Term Consequences in the Brain,” Published in the Journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, and Co-Authored by UC Davis Emeritus Robert Berman.
But According to Berman, “It’s Not Making Reference to Study I Published or Caried Out.”
Berman Said he co -Authored a similarly Named Study in a Different Journal – Toxicological Sciences – That Came to Different Conclusion Than Those Suggested by Redwood.
“We did not examine the effects of thimerosal in microglia … i do not endorsis this misrendment of the Research,” he said.
Reuters is the first to report on the inacuracate citation from redwood’s planned Presentation.
The Meeting has Become Increasingly Controversial After Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Just Weeks Aug Abrutly Fired All Previous 17 Members of the Expert Panel and Named Eight New Members, Half of Whom Have Advocated Against Vaccines.
Kennedy, the Long-Time Anti-Vaccine Activist, Founded the Children’s Health Defense.
Both Republican Us Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Democratic Us Senator Patty Murray of Washington Said the June 25 and 26 Meeting Should Be Postponed.
The summary of the Presentation Suggested That There are Enoughy Thinrasal-Flu Vaccines and That All Pregnant Women, Children and Children Should Receive Only Those Shots. It was not Clear if the New Advisory Panel Would Be Asked to Vote on Such a Move.
Redwood’s Present 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 Beteen Thimerosal-Containing Vacines and Autism or other Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Kennedy has long pushed a link Between Vaccines and autism Contray to scientific evidence.
REDWOOD COULD NOT BE IMEMDIATY REACCHED FOR COMMENT. An hhs spokesman said the studdy being referenced was the toxicological sciences study berman said was being misreredented.
The CDC’s briefing Material Reviewed Some Studies on Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Vaccines That Contain Thimerosal, Which has Long Been Used in the US in Multi-Dose Medicines and Vacines to Prevent Germs From Growing In Them.
ACCORDING TO THE CDC REPORT, 96% OF ALL INFLUENZA VACCINES IN THE US WIMEROSAL FREE DURING THE 2024-25 FLU SEASON. It also added that the number of pregnant Women Receiving a Thimerosal-Containing Flu Vaccine has decreed over time, with Only 0.3% of doses Given in 2024 Containing Thimerosal.
Kennedy Wrote A Book in 2014 Claiming That Thimerosal, The Mercury-Based Preservative, Causes Brain Damage.
On Monday, Cassidy, Who Heads the Us Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Called for the Meeting to Be Deal, Saying It Should Not Take Place with a Relatively Small Panel and Without A CDC Director in Place.
Murray, the Senior Member and Former Chair of the Help Committee, has also Called for the Fired Panel Members to Be Reinstated or the Meeting Be Delayed Until New Members Are ApproPrialy vetted.
