RFK Jr. Advocates for Removing Mercury-Based Preservatives from U.S. Vaccines
TL;DR
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, will require vaccine manufacturers to remove thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, from all US vaccines, citing safety concerns despite scientific evidence of its safety. This decision follows a controversial advisory panel vote and Kennedy's replacement of key CDC officials with allies, including anti-vaccine advocates. The move aims to protect vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure and may influence global vaccine policies.
