RFK Jr. Leads Removal of Thimerosal from U.S. Flu Vaccines

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, influenced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine advisers, has decided to remove the preservative thimerosal from all flu vaccines, citing safety concerns despite lack of evidence linking it to autism. This move aligns with Kennedy's long-standing stance against mercury in vaccines and aims to protect vulnerable populations from unnecessary exposure. Most Americans already receive thimerosal-free flu vaccines, and manufacturers have confirmed they can supply these alternatives without disruption.
