reyesbrian+FollowThimerosal Drama: Why Is It Still a Thing?Remember that mercury-based preservative in vaccines everyone freaked out about? Thimerosal was basically phased out of childhood shots 20 years ago, but it’s still sparking drama. A CDC committee just voted to stop recommending it in flu shots—even though it’s only in a few multi-dose vials now. Experts say there’s zero evidence it’s dangerous, but this move might just fuel more vaccine confusion. Wild how old controversies never die! #Vaccines #HealthFacts #Thimerosal #Health #BodyHealth71Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowCDC Vaccine Report Cites a Phantom Study?!Did you see this? The CDC’s vaccine committee is about to discuss a report that references a study… that doesn’t even exist! The scientist supposedly behind it says he never did that research, and his actual study came to totally different conclusions. This all comes as the panel was just overhauled with several anti-vaccine voices, sparking calls from both parties to delay the meeting. The drama around thimerosal in vaccines is getting wild! #VaccineNews #CDC #Thimerosal #Health20Share
elizabethwang+FollowAnti-Vax Leader to Speak at CDC Meeting?!Big CDC shakeup: Lyn Redwood, ex-head of RFK Jr.’s anti-vax group, is set to present on thimerosal (the mercury-based vaccine preservative) at the first meeting of the CDC’s new vaccine advisers. This is wild because thimerosal was mostly removed from vaccines years ago, and tons of studies have debunked any link to autism. Still, some public health folks are worried old myths will resurface. Why is this even on the agenda now? #CDC #Vaccines #Thimerosal #Health50Share
nathan87+FollowCDC’s New Vaccine Panel: Drama Alert!Big shakeup at the CDC! The newly appointed vaccine advisory panel is about to vote on thimerosal in flu shots—a preservative that’s been at the center of vaccine-autism debates (even though science says it’s safe). The panel’s lineup is raising eyebrows, with some members known for controversial vaccine takes. Plus, there’s buzz about possible changes to kids’ MMRV shots and more. Feels like we’re in for some heated debates and maybe even vaccine shortages if things go sideways! #CDC #Vaccines #Thimerosal #Health #BodyHealth02Share
