RFK Jr to remove preservative thimerosal from all US vaccines

Title: RFK Jr Pushes for Removal of Thimerosal from US Vaccines Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US health secretary, has announced plans to formally require vaccine makers to remove the preservative thimerosal from all vaccines in the United States. This move comes despite the lack of scientific evidence linking thimerosal to any harmful effects. For decades, anti-vaccine campaigns have targeted thimerosal, falsely claiming it causes harm. In June, a federal vaccine advisory panel, now composed of Kennedy's ideological allies, recommended against the use of the preservative, further fueling the controversy. The decision to remove thimerosal from vaccines is not based on new scientific findings, but rather on the persistent misinformation and unfounded concerns surrounding the ingredient. This action is likely to appease the anti-vaccine movement, but it may have no tangible impact on public health and could undermine confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
