If you never did before, now is the time to raise serious concerns about thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative) in vaccines. The ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) is downplaying risks despite calls from multiple agencies (CDC, FDA, NIH, etc.) to remove it.
Thimerosal Safety Controversy: Critics argue that official safety assurances (CDC, ACIP) ignore documented risks of thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative linked to neurotoxicity, developmental harm and other serious health issues — especially in infants and pregnant women.
The upcoming ACIP vote could either address these concerns or maintain current policies, with new leadership potentially influencing the decision. The CDC has not clarified its stance, fueling skepticism.
Key Points:
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will vote next week on whether to continue recommending flu vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, amid renewed scrutiny over its safety. The June 25-26 meeting in Atlanta marks the first since HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replaced all 17 former ACIP members in a bid to restore public trust in vaccine policy. The panel will also decide on RSV vaccines for pregnant women and young children, despite clinical trial data showing an 11.71% rate of serious adverse events.
Thimerosal, used in multi-dose flu vaccine vials, has been a flashpoint in vaccine debates for decades. Though the CDC maintains it poses no harm, critics cite a 1999 internal meeting where officials acknowledged risks to infant brain development. In 2001, thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines, yet it remains in some flu shots.
Dr. Meryl Nass, a longtime ACIP observer, stated, “There is no need for thimerosal, a known neurotoxin, as it is not used in single-dose vials. Its use should be ended.” Meanwhile, journalist Sharyl Attkisson’s investigation challenged federal claims that thimerosal is safe, fueling calls for transparency.
The committee’s focus on thimerosal has drawn polarized responses. Brian Hooker of Children’s Health Defense criticized the CDC’s “biased viewpoint,” while Medpage editor Dr. Jeremy Faust called the vote a revival of “anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.” Others, like researcher James Lyons-Weiler, see potential progress: “If safety data are rigorously evaluated, this could mark a turning point.”
ACIP’s recommendations often shape state vaccine mandates, yet its guidelines lack exhaustive safety data. Attorney Sujata Gibson noted that states like New York and California deny medical exemptions for conditions not listed in ACIP’s framework, risking harm to vulnerable children.
Next week’s vote could signal a shift in U.S. vaccine policy — or deepen existing divides. With thimerosal’s safety back under scrutiny and new leadership at ACIP, the outcome may hinge on whether the committee prioritizes public trust or maintains the status quo. The CDC did not respond to requests for comment on whether it will clarify its guidelines’ limitations.
