TL;DR

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has rescinded federal recommendations for flu vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative falsely linked to autism, affecting mostly multidose vials used in specific settings, while most Americans remain unaffected. The decision follows a panel vote and aims to enhance vaccine safety perceptions, although thimerosal has been shown to be safe in numerous studies.
